The explosive growth of Electronic Commerce and expanding business on-line has many organizations scrambling to find a cost-effective, long term Web hosting solution with power, security, and flexibility. Application requirements have outgrown the capabilities of traditional shared hosting platforms, but dedicated or managed server alternatives are simply out of reach for most mid-sized businesses - and few companies have the IT resources to develop an in-house solution.

Create a powerful turn-key hosting platform at an economical price with a price tag comparable to many shared server solutions. The Solaris Virtual Server is the ideal Web hosting solution for businesses with big needs, small budgets, and limited internal IT resources.

The Solaris Virtual Server combines Sun's Solaris operating system with powerful SPARC hardware and Virtual Server Technology to provide maximum performance, reliability, and scalability. Additionally, key Business applications like ColdFusion® and Chili!Soft® ASPs are also available. The Sun Solaris Operating System allows you to select and install many off the shelf applications that exist for this operating platform.

We have a Solaris Virtual Server configuration that suits the needs of your Internet presence!
