EIRCA Premium Quality H-Sphere Reseller Hosting

OK, so most people have heard of the new “grids” being offered by many in the cPanel and Plesk environment. There’s also the “failover hosting” option out there, but do many really know what they are?  Is it ground breaking?

OK, I think people know all about the “Grids” being offered by several companies. What they don’t know is that this “new technology” is at the core of H-Sphere and has been for some time. Why isn’t it pushed? Why should it be pushed as new technology when it isn’t? Hardware redundancy and clustering isn’t new. It isn’t exclusive (though many companies would have you believe that it is..)but it is a great feature. It just so happens that you, as an EIRCA Ltd client, don’t have to pay extra for this. It’s a staple, a feature we’ve always offered. We also don’t have to offer over-hyped VPS instances in order to roll this out to you. It’s automatic, it’s built in, it’s time-tested.

The oft-used tagline that now “everyone can afford clustering” infers that they couldn’t afford it prior to the “grid” being introduced. I guess those marketing gurus haven’t spoken to a H-Sphere user in a while. That being said, why would a H-Sphere user move from our system to go to “the grid”? They wouldn’t. The grid is being used right now as an excuse to oversell. “Look, ma, we have the new grid, let’s throw 2000 users on it and see if it blows up!”

OK, I’ll leave the grid alone, for now. It has enough flaws without me pointing out more.

Failover hosting, we hardly know ye. Ok, Failover hosting beats Le Grid in one way: Even the guys offering it don’t know what it is. There should be some kind of legal obligation that requires a company explain their so-called technology when it’s introduced. Let’s pull away the fancy-schmancy terminology and expose Failover hosting for what it is: hardware redundancy, with minor clustering. Wow, when it’s put like that, it doesn’t sound so special.

When failover hosting can cluster mail, dns, sql, mysql, the control panel, windows http and linux http, coldfusion and more, I’ll be impressed. Something tells me, though, that I am not about to be impressed any time soon, at least not by this smoke and mirrors malarky.

It boils down to this:

• If you want clustered services: Go H-Sphere
• If you want redundancy: Go H-Sphere
• If you want an automation behemoth: Go H-Sphere
• If you want fancy marketing terms that cover up  what the “technology” really is: Go research them, laugh a little, then come back here and “Go H-Sphere“
