Exchange My Mail®

Exchange My Mail has launched a Windows Virtual Private Server (VPS) service that delivers the advantages of a dedicated server without the hassle and expense of managing a system in-house. The service utilizes Parallels’ Virtuozzo Containers, which allows a single server to host multiple “virtual” servers providing more reliability, isolation, and flexibility than a shared hosting account. It is a configuration that is ideal for hosting environments, because it reduces stress on the OS, allowing customers to use more allocated resources for web sites and applications. Plus – it’s significantly less expensive and requires little to no maintenance as compared to dedicated servers. More details can be found here.

Cobweb Solutions Expands Hosted Services with Parallels Automation
