Hosting365 News

It’s funny … when I joined hosting365 I had just setup Roundcube as my webmail client (I was a customer before I became an employee!) and it took about 30 mins (and I’m not a techie!), so naturally I thought it could be deployed within the same time for all customers.

Clearly I was wrong … there’s so much more to consider when innovating for a 30% of the Irish market than when playing with webmail for 1 person

However, after much work and testing (remember Roundcube is still beta) we’ve launched it for ALL OUR CUSTOMERS!

Just go to webmail.hosting365.com, and enter your email address and password - it’s that simple! No need to enter domains, no need to go through control panels.

In case you’re interested, the reason it couldn’t be launched in 30 minutes, is that we process 40 million emails a month, so you can image the impact of a IMAP based webmail client on our infrastructure!

Innovation is hard .. much harder in a big company .. but it’s worth it, and as you can see (ref: FREE BLOG PLAN !!!!) we’re really trying.

Expect to see more innovations over the coming months! In fact, why not use this blog for what’s it’s really mean’t - and post in the comments the kind of innovations YOU’D like to see from a hosting company. PLEASE!!!

We’re growing at a fantastic rate, with our own Data Centre and Offices here in Parkwest; another DC we manage in Dublin City Centre, space in a few more DC’s around Europe, and now offices and staff in Poland as well (R&D and Operations - R&D is VERY cool )

So to continue meeting our growth-needs, we require staff - good staff! Very simply, the roles (links to jobs.ie - the portal we use for recruitment - and which I highly recommend) we are looking for fulfill right now are:
- Unix Engineer - if you have good experience as a Unix Sys Admin you should have some fun in here … at least half of all our systems and customer boxes run some form on Unix, and we have some fairly cool plans for building out next-gen infrastructure with Unix at the core.

- Network Engineer - minimum requirements are CCNA and you really need CCNP or good relevant experience as well. Our network is core to the business, all systems require stable network connectivity and we have a highly redundant, growing, Cisco-powered network in here that you will be assisting on maintaining.

- Technical Support - this is a mixed role between the ‘Network Operations Centre’ where you will get experience of building and deploying servers, and the ‘Customer Experience Team’ where you will get experience dealing with technical support queries and working with our Engineering Team to resolve them. This role is ideal for a tech graduate or someone with good technical experience who wants to broaden their knowlegde and get a good foundation for their career. Typically, Tech Support people move into the Engineering Team after time, and on-going training is provided.

- ASP Coder (no link, sorry) - we have a requirement for a .NET 2.0 ASP programmer to fulfill a joint role between Engineering and R&D. We support a number of customers with ASP skills and also have a number of internal systems requiring ASP knowledge. And on the ‘cool’ side, we are doing a lot of Microsoft development at the moment, and need ASP skills at the front-end of it now.

If you are interested (or know anyone interested … send the link!!) in any of these roles, send me your CV (ed@hosting365.com) or apply online on jobs.ie.
