Ireland-based Internet solution provider Aventure Host has announced that it has joined R1HPP, data recovery solutions provider R1Soft's recently launched hosting partner program.

R1Soft launched its partner program in February as a way to "give web hosts an edge" in marketing and offering its CDP solution, as well as providing them with volume discounts, 50 percent off MySQL add-ons, professional public relations services and other brandable marketing materials.

As a member of R1HPP, R1Soft says Aventure Host will also gain access priority technical support and advanced access to software updates.

Aventure Host says it is offering R1Soft's data protection technology at no additional charge on most of its shared, reseller and dedicated hosting plans. It offers six daily backups on hosted Exchange, shared and reseller packages and 12 daily backups for dedicated servers. Customers on virtual private server plans can purchase data protection from ?1, which provides one daily backup.

"By joining forces with R1Soft and becoming a R1HPP partner, we will be able to more closely work with Aventure Host to help them maximize return on investment and successfully achieve their goal of the new hosting standardization," says David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies.

Within the last month, Portugal-based ISP NFSi Telecom and web hosting provider Future Hosting have joined R1Soft's hosting partner program.

Aventure Host, a subsidiary of Aventure Media, says it is one of Ireland's "fastest growing Internet solution providers," and currently has over 95,000 customers in 132 countries.
