Webtrade Awards Contract to Hosting365
Dublin, 6th October 2008 – Hosting365, Managed Services and Data Centre facility provider, has signed a deal worth €100,000 with Webtrade, one of Ireland’s top web design, development and online marketing companies, to provide a website hosting solution for Webtrade’s client base.
Now in its tenth year, Webtrade is one of Ireland’s longest established web development companies. The company has developed more than 500 websites for businesses and government agencies. Commenting on the deal, Gary Cosgrave, Sales Director, Webtrade, said, “Hosting365 was chosen because their high performance infrastructure is extremely resilient and secure, giving us confidence that they can accommodate our own technological growth while ensuring our clients receive a service level that’s second to none.”
Hosting365’s Hsphere clustered solution will allow Webtrade to create and manage web hosting plans at ease for their customers, with added functionality such as full transparency of usage data per client to enable easy invoicing.
Kevin O’Connor, Channel Manager, Hosting 365, commented, “Our dedicated solutions are tailored for customers seeking a flexible, stable and secure hosting solution. As Ireland’s only Cloud Computing provider, we can provide on demand IT services. Our cloud hosting solution offers our customers with a fully redundant solution, providing automatic failover of dedicated server solutions at both a physical and virtual level. This means that their server is constantly available within the Hosting365 cloud server environment. Should an individual data centre encounter issues, services can simply fail over to another available data centre facility within the Hosting365 cloud network.”
“At Hosting365 we are trying to change the way businesses think about IT and how they buy hardware or software applications. We invest in the very best technology, infrastructure, R&D and technical staff so that our clients can enjoy Ireland’s most sophisticated IT infrastructure with absolute efficiency, flexibility and security. This enables our customers to concentrate on what’s important to them – growing their business!” O’Connor added.
Webtrade’s custom solutions are built around its Content Management System, Siternity – that is based on the Software as a Service model (SaaS). This reduces the lifetime ownership costs of websites by over 50% because clients receive a novel warranty that the standard features of their websites are permanently in-step with the latest web technologies. With regular upgrades, clients are informed as to what the new and improved functionality entails and how it will benefit their on-line presence – making this investment very appealing to the business community.
