In order to fully exploit the power of the Internet, modern web sites and applications rely increasingly on advanced technology. To be effective and reliable, an organization's web presence requires powerful application servers, an efficient database, and support for all of the commonly used protocols and programming languages. Due to the high reliance and abuse of e-Mail services, advanced technology becomes more critical to support this essential communication medium. Futhermore, as the power and use of web sites and applications grows, solutions to ensure security and privacy become an ever more critical component of a successful web presence. It is our job to package the advanced technology required to meet your needs.
Our Hosting Platform - The foundation for our hosting business is built using state of the art software called HSPcomplete, by Parallels (formerly SWsoft), the world wide leader in hosting management software solutions. HSPcomplete is not just a billing and CRM system, it encompasses the operational side of managed hosting. Through its Virtuozzo "virtualization" component, it provides the most advanced and powerful technology available for provisioning and maintaining hosting services. Under the system, each customer account is set up in its own private environment, called a Virtual Private Server (VPS). The following list highlights some of the major benefits of this exciting technology.
- Availability -- In a shared hosting
environment, problems
with one customer's site can adversely affect other accounts on the
same server. With the Virtuozzo VPS environment this is no longer a
problem. Each account is completely insulated from other accounts and
is immune from problems occuring on other sites.
- Performance -- The sophisticated
Virtuozzo system ensures
that each account receives no less than the minimum allocation of
resources and that no account uses more than the maximum allocation of
resources. Thmis is the only way to ensure consistent high performance
on a server and guarantees that your application or web site will not
suffer from resource hungry sites consuming a disproportionate
allocation of resources.
- Ease of Use and User Control -- When
you need technical
support, we are there to assist you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, in many cases it is more
effective and desirable for customers to manage their own account. Our
platform has a control panel
that makes it easy and efficient to administer the environment, modify
their services, review billing history, manage domains, and other key
aspects. Users seeking a high degree of control have root level access
to issue commands through a secure shell. The bottom line is that
HSPcomplete enables ease of use AND complete control for the ultimate
in account management.
- Scale Ability -- Our platform is highly
scalable. You can
start with our entry level plan and scale all the way up to a dedicated
server solution without having to redeploy or reconfigure your files!
Furthermore, you can initiate an upgrade or downgrade from one virtual
plan to another on your own, and have the upgrade performed within
minutes automatically.
- Maintainability -- The HSPcomplete system allows us to manage your environment with a high degree of precision and control. The system makes it easy to modify the services provided as well as update versions on all supported software components. We can even more your VPS from one physical server to another with No Downtime!
