July 20, 2009 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) –
Devpond.com, an industry-leading provider of software solutions for hosting service providers, today announced the introduction of VSControl, a web-based control panel for managing virtual private servers (VPS) built on Xen’s hypervisor-based virtualization technology.
VSControl provides hosting companies with a ready-made platform for creating, provisioning and managing virtual private servers. Hosting companies will be able to enjoy the benefits of automation while streamlining their operating efficiencies for maximum profitability. Through VSControl, hosting companies will be able to enhance the overall value of their offerings by providing customers with an enjoyable user experience.
“We are extremely proud of the development efforts of our engineers and designers, who put in countless hours of work to create VSControl,” stated Greg Landis, CEO of Devpond.com. “VSControl enables hosting companies to enjoy complete management and administrative control over their virtual private servers, while providing an interface for the customer to handle their own environment.
“With VSControl, hosting companies have everything they need to drive bottom line profits, build value into their products and strengthen customer loyalty. Devpond.com is committed to helping hosting companies succeed in a highly competitive marketplace and we envision VSControl being a very important enabler.”
VSControl provides a web-based interface for managing all of a VPS’s core capabilities and features two separate views. A client interface allows the customer to administer and manage their VPS and account, while an admin interface enables the hosting company to manage its infrastructure and individual customer accounts.
In either view, users or administrators can migrate, suspend, restart or terminate the VPS. There are controls for adjusting the size of the server by either expanding or reducing the assigned disk space, RAM and bandwidth allotments for a particular server or moving to another pre-configured plan. VSControl can only be used for virtual private servers running on the Linux operating system. It is completely web-based and installed with literally a click of the mouse.
Other features include:
• Provides insight into health and status of VPS
• View disk, memory, CPU usage and bandwidth consumption details
• Access traffic logs
• Email notifications about VPS status and resource usage levels
• Traffic logs
• Monthly reporting capabilities
• Managed back-up and restore
• IP address management functionality
• Ability to purchase and provision add-on services such as monitoring
Devpond.com continues to add new features on a continual basis.
WowVPS, a sister company of Devpond.com, has been using VSControl for a year now with great success.
“VSControl has been a major driver behind the growth of the WowVPS hosting business,” stated Landis. “It has allowed WowVPs to efficiently build and manage a large base of VPS customers, while serving as a key selling point that is drawing a steady stream of customers into the fold. We believe any hosting company can achieve the same success with VSControl.”
