The Planet Lowers List Pricing for Backup by 50 Percent

10GB of Storage Space Now Available for $5 Per Month
HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, today announced that
it has reduced list pricing on its two server backup products.
Effective today, EVault Backup is now priced at $1 per GB, down from
$2. Its Network Backup product is now priced at 50 cents per GB, down
from $1.

The price reduction follows a recent upgrade to the company's
managed storage infrastructure, which offers customers additional
storage space and enhanced performance.

"Storage and backup are increasingly critical for small- and
medium-sized companies, since data loss can actually drive a company
out of business," said Rob Walters, The Planet's general manager of
storage and data protection. "Now any organization can protect data -
which can literally mean the difference between success and failure -
for as little as $5 per month. At this affordable rate, there's no
excuse to leave critical data unprotected."

EVault Backup features a comprehensive, intuitive interface, with
rich backup functionality from data-protection industry leader EVault.
The Planet's Network Backup provides archiving space available
directly through customer applications and tools, and it features
standard protocols for ease of access.

Both solutions are available in 10GB to 80GB or larger capacities
for mission-critical environments.

Through Sep. 30, 2008, new orders of EVault Backup and Network
Backup are free for the first 90 days. For more information, please
