Feb 6, 2008 : Webcity Develops Server Architecture

📅 February 6, 2008 - Australian budget domain registrar and Web hosting provider Webcity (webcity.com.au ) announced on Wednesday it has developed a world-first server architecture that provides high availability, clustered hosting to the budget hosting market.

Two years in development, the High Availability Server Architecture is designed for the cPanel (cpanel.com) based shared hosting product. The company says it plans to apply HASA to all of its hosting plans. Webcity says HASA helps to increase the real time redundancy in the event of any potentially problematic servers and their software, as well as reduces the time needed for scheduled outages.

"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," says Bennett Oprysa, Webcity COO. "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. Combined with our ultra competitive pricing, the HASA makes Webcity professional hosting services the clear choice for Australian small businesses."

The Webcity HASA includes full redundancy of all server and networking hardware, preventing any single point of failure. The HASA structure also enables software redundancy by switching between multiple instances of the same server software, if an issue on the live server is software related instead of hardware related.
