Tokyo – March 3, 2008 – GMO Hosting & Security, Inc. announces that hosting brand iSLE is expanding the iCLUSTA shared server service. As of this Wednesday iSLE is strengthening iCLUSTA systems and increasing disk capacity to 80GB (approximately 40 times the existing capacity and one of the largest in the industry*). The new service enables us to provide the optimal hosting environment for customers looking to expand or diversify their websites.

Nowdays, more and more websites are publishing high resolution images and video files. The web hosting industry has for the most part responded by offering larger disk capacity, however shared server users still find average disk usage too low* and are seeking a service with similar specs but higher capacity*.
iSLE takes maximum advantage of disc capacity and server functionality and seeks to optimize user experience not only by improving service and specs, but also by providing extensive advise on how to make best use of the service.

About the Service Expansion
1. Strengthened System
The expanded service offers a sophisticated NAS storage system for storing customer data that significantly improves server performance. Now with better system performance under high loads we are able to provide customers with better value and a more scalable system than ever before.

2. Disk Capacity Increased to Around 40 Times the Previous System
The second part of our service expansion, aimed at further improving customer satisfaction, is a major increase in disk capacity at no extra cost.
Disk Capacity

Plan Name	Previous Capacity	New
i-03	500MB	20GB (approx 40x increase)
i-04	1GB	40GB (approx 40x increase)
i-05	2GB	80GB (approx 40x increase)

*E-mail and web disk capacity. Database capacity is not included.

iSLE provides customers with advice on how to get the most out of their hosting service. We have strengthened systems to achieve high cost performance and an Availability Linked Refund System set at 99.99% availability for better peace of mind and improved server maintenance. We will continue to actively expand this service.
