HOUSTON – June 12, 2008 – The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced that Urvish Vashi, director of product management, will deliver remarks at the third annual cPanel Conference. Vashi’s remarks, scheduled for Friday, June 13, at 1 p.m. CDT, will include a discussion on the transition from shared to dedicated hosting, and the long-term implications for the reseller community.

Scheduled for June 11-13, the conference will be held at the Westin Oaks Houston. The conference agenda covers topics related to the cPanel server control panel, including sessions on the new cPanel Server Suite and its improvements to Windows-based hosting operations.

“As the hosting market matures, our resellers frequently discuss with us their strategies for adding dedicated hosting to their portfolios,” said Vashi. “We have seen some of our most successful resellers grow through a combination of both shared and dedicated hosting offerings, and a number of our customers attend the cPanel Conference since it is one of the most popular control panels among resellers.”
