- Hosting Controller Enters the UK Market

If you're using Plesk, Helm or Ensim to run your hosting service, you could be paying too much - and missing out on lots of other benefits. The award-winning Hosting Controller isn't just cheaper than the competition; it also comes with free lifetime technical support and upgrades, a superb software bundle and a range of features that will make your life - and your customers' lives - much easier and more profitable.

Hosting Controller is a powerful Windows server control panel solution aimed at hosting firms and individuals who want to remotely manage multiple sites in comfort. It delivers reliable, secure and scalable features for building and managing Windows hosting environments, and everything is wrapped up in a best-of-breed WYSIWYG interface that's simple, intuitive and quick to install. From routine system administration to DNS, email, database connections, backups and restoration, site statistics, billing, sign-ups and invoicing, Hosting Controller takes care of it all, starting from just GBP5.95 per month.

Hosting Controller provides three proven security levels for hosting administrators, resellers and website users to remotely maintain mail and FTP accounts as well as perform site management tasks. The unique access hierarchy automates all hosting operations without creating the security loopholes found in some Windows-based shared hosting environments.

In fact, since its first release in 1998, Hosting Controller has been a powerful ally for NT hosting firms all over the world - and version 6.1 introduces new features including a Windows XP-style skin, context-sensitive help, evolved navigation and even better usability and feel. With support for email, DNS, FTP, statistics and databases, integration with all global payment gateways and domain registrars, this definitive application also has its own integrated customer sign-up and billing systems to supercharge the acquisition of new business. The XML-driven core reliably binds all the essentials - and unlike rival software, vital features such as language packs, build-in forums and skins don't come as optional extras, they come for free.

The package also includes the excellent RebuildXpress, a backup and restoration system for Windows-based servers that can also handle hosting server migrations and even mail server migration.

Hosting Controller 6.1 fully supports Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers and as it thrives in a distributed server environment, you can use your own email and DNS servers in separate boxes. Many hosts would rather run Linux servers for email and DNS and Windows for hosting and reassuringly, Hosting Controller can handle that with ease.

Flexible Plans start at GBP5.95

From just GBP5.95 per month for a 50-domain license, Hosting Controller represents outstanding value. Customers can choose between a lease and purchase option and for a strictly limited time take advantage of special offers including 20% off outright purchase and 2 months free monthly rental as well as free 50-site licences for SmarterStats and free 50 domain/250-user licences for SmarterMail. Take out a ten-pack licence and you can even ask Hosting Controller technicians to customize the product to your specifications. A fully functional live Demo is also available and is free for 30 days.
