New Pricing Models for Business VoIP

July 15, 2011

We have recently cut prices across the board for new Business VoIP customers. Not only is the monthly per-phone cost cheaper, but we have also increased the standard amount of minutes which come with accounts!

In addition to these modified pricing models, we are also offering phone rentals! Instead of an expensive fee like we use to charge in the past to cover the cost of physical phones, we now offer an option to rent the phones for as little as $1/month. Simply pay the rental fee each month, and return the phones to us if you ever decide to cancel.

Brand-New Data Center Location Launched in Chicago, IL

April 28, 2011

Today marks the first day of operation in our new Chicago facility. Along with our regular top-of-the-line carriers, we have also increased our technical support staff to accommodate for the new location and increase in hardware to manage. You can rest assured increased performance along with better availability of staff.

The Chicago expansion came after we had a demand for an increase in data storage from our clients. We were successfully able to negotiate a deal with one of our existing providers that has space in Chicago to provide this additional data storage at a fraction of what it costs in a few of our other facilities. Thanks to Steadfast Networks for making this possible!

Praise in the Huffington Post by Radio Host

August 12, 2010

Charles Karel Bouley, host of the Karel Show (nationally syndicated radio talk show), thanked us in the Huffington Post today for our cleaver and stable delivery solution of The Karel Show to KRXA 540 AM in Monterey, California:

"Again, technology saved the day. KUDO records the stream from KRXA and if there's ever a problem, they go to the FTP site and get the segments posted each hour. Now, thanks to KRXA we just went to a SHOUTCast delivery to KRXA thanks to the masters at KWD (a web hosting/streaming media company) in Virginia."

Brand-New Data Center Location Launched in Reston, VA

April 1, 2010

After over 6 months of planning, we are opening our brand-new data center location in Reston, VA for business today. This location, unlike our other locations, is fully managed by KWD Services, Inc. staff and all of our hardware is owned 100% by us. While our other locations are high quality and we own some of the hardware, the fact that we do not have easy physical access due to the location makes our options less flexible and it makes it more difficult to provide service to our customers.

Our new location is located in Equinix Reston and boasts high security, along with redundant power and HVAC systems and multiple Tier 3 backbones. All of the hardware we installed is top-of-the-line and all servers were custom built by our own employees to ensure maximum quality. For improved security, data center access has been restricted to very few employees and all colocation clients require escorts. Power and HVAC systems are monitored 24/7 and serviced by data center technicians on a weekly basis to ensure reliability. Our BGP4 mix of multiple Tier 3 backbones including Level3, Global Crossing, AT&T, Internap, Time Warner, and XO Communications ensures connectivity 24/7/365 and high performance, especially for bandwidth intensive clients.

We will continue to lease space out of our other facilities to provide geographic redundancy; however, the majority of our services will be provided out of the new Reston facility.

Business VoIP Added to Solution Lineup

November 20, 2009

After over a year of beta testing, we are announcing today that our business VoIP solutions are now available to the public. If you aren't already familiar with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocal), it is a method of making calls over the Internet. There are a variety of different VoIP systems out there, some of them being intended for calling other computers, and some of them intended to replace regular phone systems.

If you are wondering what the advantages to VoIP are, there are many. For starters, long distance calls are priced just as local calls are due to the fact that the call is traveling over the Internet and not over phone lines. In addition, your monthly phone bills are lower due to the fact that lines (concurrent calls) are unlimited. Lastly, instead of needing thousands of dollars in hardware to have on hold music and an auto-attendant, you are provided with this for free as it resides on one of our reliable servers instead of in your office. These are just a few of the MANY benefits you will receive with VoIP.

KWD Services, Inc. VoIP works just like a regular office telephone system, aside from the fact that special phones are needed and they plug into an ethernet cable instead of a telephone cable. Converting your current system is very easy to do, and takes very little time. The phones needed for VoIP are just as easy to use as regular office phones, and have many more features with a more friendly interface.

High-Security Hosting Added to Solution Lineup

October 15, 2009

After acquiring several high-target clients these past few months, we have stepped up our security on all of our web hosting servers to specialize in hosting these high-target sites. Our engineers have undergone vigorous training, and we have spent thousands of dollars in preventing DOS/DDOS attacks with high-end firewalls and on other prevention mechanisms. We are now running automatic and manual scans twice a day to search for any possible vulnerabilities or malicious files. All of our current customers have been upgraded to this high level of protection, and can rest assured that their data will remain safe in the hands of KWD Services, Inc.
