| Hostopia Launches Advanced
Windows Hosting [3rd
July 2003]
ASP.net and ColdFusion MX lead the pack for new
plans
Ft.
Lauderdale, USA – Hostopia announced the release
of new advanced Windows®
services hosting plans that support both ASP.net and
ColdFusion MX.
Microsoft-platform developers use ASP.net’s advanced
programming framework to build and run sophisticated,
high performance site applications. ColdFusion MX is
Macromedia’s latest scripting environment for
graphically rich presentations that
integrate with back-end data applications and full integration
with Macromedia’s other popular tools such as
Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX.
“Hostopia partners are smart because they value
web hosting sales over platform
comparisons. Microsoft-based hosting is grabbing more
than 30% of the hosting market and our partners expect
a full share of that business. Our new plans put them
in front as Windows-supportive hosting services,”
says Franc Nemanic, president of Hostopia.com Inc.
Hostopia notes a key differentiator in its version of
Windows hosting: the ability to
choose between Macromedia’s ColdFusion 5.0 and
Cold Fusion MX within the same
hosting plans.
“Our development community research confirmed
that some users are not ready to
migrate to the latest ColdFusion tools, while others
are. So we built our hosting plans to give them the
choice rather than force wholesale site migration to
the new version with potential compatibility issues,”
adds Nemanic.
Hostopia operates its Windows-based services on RAID
4 Windows clusters supported by advanced net filers
for high availability and redundancy. It also operates
optimized LINUX-based hosting on separate clusters.
Both environments are bridged in a hybrid solution that
allows users to run either Windows or UNIX-type applications
seamlessly on the same hosting plan, even on the same
website. “Eliminating confusing hosting plan choices
drives increased sales for Hostopia partners,”
claims Nemanic.
The new Windows plans are available to all Hostopia
partners.
