WebHosting Choices

We start with our service as a hosting company in the next time and we have two options for the server configuration :

- as many as other companies - FreeBSD/Linux with Apache and CPanel/Ensim/Plesk control panel

or ours preferred configuration

- high available cluster with FreeBSD/Linux, Zeus Web Server and Zeus Webpanel ( they have this same funktions as Ensim/Plesk/CPanel )

for people who don´t know what Zeus is - it’s a high speed and high available web server for mission critical applications

I’d like to know what you resellers thinks about this solution and are you willing to change/run/set up your reseller plan with Zeus Web Server ?

well I’m not a reseller, but I’ll talk about the Zeus platform.

you can not get a faster platform for general web hosting account. I would say that right out of the box - 2 equal servers, the zues server would have the higher scores for transactions and concurent users.

there are other platforms, but for a general platform. I think Zues has got it pegged.

would there be a resellers market for people on this platform, not on the low end I think. but if you got a server farm and are to offer cluster hosting of 3 to 12 servers then yes.
