A2 Hosting Increases Reseller Hosting Package Resources

Hosting News

Award winning web hosting company www.A2Hosting.com has vastly increased disk space and bandwidth amounts allocated to their reseller hosting (http://www.a2hosting.com/services/reseller-hosting/) packages. These resource boosts weren’t accompanied with a corresponding price increase.

A2 Hosting’s Reseller packages provide a large amount of disk space and bandwidth that can easily be divided into a number of smaller hosting accounts that can be sold for a profit. This provides A2 Hosting reseller customers with a simple and affordable avenue for launching a web hosting company of their own without the worry of hardware or network management.

Reseller Hosting packages are managed with the WebHostManager (WHM) control panel. Among many other features, WHM allows users to create their own custom hosting packages with bandwidth and disk space limits. Each new hosting account created with WHM is managed with the award winning and user-friendly cPanel control panel. Additional A2 Hosting resources that resellers get to pass along to their own customers include:

*Softaculous – A tool that installs popular software programs like WordPress and Drupal to a hosting account with just one click.
*A2 Hosting’s 99.9% uptime reliability guarantee.
*A2 SiteBuilder – An easy to use application that walks users through a few fast website building steps.
*Server Rewind – A2 Hosting’s innovative account backup technology.

A2 Hosting’s Marketing Manager Brad Litwin commented on the announcement: “The variety of resources available in our hosting packages is the best on the market. With this new additional bandwidth and disk space included at no additional cost, our new reseller hosting customers are able to sell more accounts and more importantly earn more profit than ever before”

ISC Introduces 3-New Server Rack, Computer Cabinet Modular 19inch Rackmoun

Hosting News

ISC, Information Support Concepts, Inc announces three new 19″ universal modular rackmount shelves to fit the ever changing depths of computer cabinets and server racks.

“Providing a shelf that can fit in a typical computer cabinet as well as a server rack cabinet has been very difficult due to the variances of usable cabinet depths” according to Kevin Hunt, VP Sales & Marketing. A typical computer cabinet is usually around 25-30 inches deep while a typical server rack can range from 30-42 inches deep. Compounding the problem has been the need for both solid and vented shelves depending on the application.

ISC now offers modular shelves that address these problems. All three shelves allow the entire surface to expand or contract versus the mounting ears only extensions of the past. The end user now can house deeper hardware on a shelf than previous shelves.

These universal modular 19″ rackmount shelves are available in two series with three different range possibilities that will fit most any of today’s computer cabinet or server rack applications. The 1906 Series has a solid bottom with a range of 22-40 inches. The VSA series has a vented bottom and two different ranges. The VSA-1626 adjusts from 16-26 inches and the VSA 2744 adjusts from 27-44 inches.

Both shelf series are American made.
