February 8, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Australian web hosting provider Webcity (http://www.webcity.com.au) has announced its new High Availability Server Architecture (HASA) solution, it was reported yesterday. What the company calls “a world first in web hosting,” HASA offers “clustered hosting to the budget hosting market”.
Specifically designed for Webcity's cPanel based shared hosting, HASA is, according to the company, the result of “2 years intense development”. The solution will eventually be applied to all Webcity Professional Hosting plans. As of January 2008 all new customers on Webcity's Pro Hosting plans are supported by the solution. "With the current pricing structure of our Professional Hosting plans ranging from $6.95 to $12.95 per month, we are aiming at providing this solution to site owners for less than $100 per year," explained Webcity’s COO Bennett Oprysa. “Market trends are seeing a downward pressure on pricing for web hosting, however, as the market are also expecting high reliability, it's important that any improvements and innovation are in line with that expectation.”
The Webcity HASA includes full redundancy of all server and networking hardware to avoid a single point of failure. Its structure also allows for software redundancy by switching between multiple instances of the same server software. “All of this adds up to a solution that provides the ultimate in High Availability hosting, and is far superior to anything else on offer within the Australian Shared Hosting market,” added Oprysa. “Combined with our ultra competitive pricing, the HASA makes webcity Professional Hosting services the clear choice for Australian small businesses."
