February 25, 2008; 09:01 AM

HOUSTON, Feb. 25, 2008 – The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced the extension of its most popular promotion based on exceptional customer response. Double Down offers customers twice the RAM, hard-drive space or bandwidth at no additional cost on a select range of servers from the company’s broad portfolio. The Planet will also waive the $25 setup fee, a Double Down first.

“Our most recent Double Down promotion received such great feedback that we’ve decided to extend it through the end of the month,” said Urvish Vashi, director of product management with The Planet. “This promotion is particularly popular because customers can have it their way by choosing to double the amount of RAM, disk space or bandwidth. Overall, they increase server performance at no additional cost.”

The offer is available through Feb. 29, 2008, or while limited promotional supplies last. To learn more, please visit the Web site at http://www.theplanet.com/double-down-promotion.
