Aug, 2002 : SWsoft Introduces VPS Enrollment Program

📅 August 27, 2002 - Hosting automation and enterprise server software developer SWsoft Inc. (sw-soft.com) announced on Tuesday that it has introduced a new program to lower the cost for hosting providers to integrate virtual private server technology into their existing hosting plans.

Based on SWsoft's Virtuozzo technology and HSPcomplete 2.0 hosting automation solution, the program is part of a larger campaign to increase the number of VPS users and offer SMBs access to more hosted applications.
The campaign began in August, when the company offered a promotional price of $5,000 for a full HSPcomplete system, including billing and reseller capabilities. Seeking to increase the adoption of VPS technology, SWsoft says it has lowered the entry price for a VPS system to $2,500.
The $2,500 system includes Virtuozzo-powered VPS licenses for two servers, the Virtuozzo Management Console, installation and access to support plans.
"HSPs are seeking new revenue sources and VPS plans help to create new hosting revenue due to low pricing and high flexibility of VPSs, which are perfect for SMBs and others who are conducting more of their important business transactions on the Web" said Craig Oda, VP, Business Development, SWsoft, Inc. "Our goal is to increase the availability of VPS hosting plans, which will breathe new life and revenue into the hosting industry by opening up the largely untapped SMB market."
