Is anyone looking for WAA Hosting?

I'm thinking (emphasis on thinking) of starting a hosting service for
people that want to host WAA applications.

Feel free to email me direct.

As a follow-up to this, a better description of the services might be
appropriate 

Options include:

1.  Dedicated server
You get a server all to yourself, can U-VNC or Terminal-Services into it to
administer it.

2.  Co-located server
You purchase the server, pre-configure it etc, and I'll host it for you in
a secure premise with 100GB data transfer.  Other than ownership, same as
dedicated server.

3.  Shared Server
Guess what - you share it with other people. Web and FTP access only.  WAA
package upgrades and installations automatically handled.

All the above come with WaaRC (remote control software to administer and
monitor WAA, including the ability to start/stop/restart it, update package
DLL's, WAA configuration etc.) and full FTP access to web and data
directories.  WAA statistics available for past 24hrs, week, month and year
etc. for all packages, individual packages and individual form functions.
Statistics include:

   Minimum time spent servicing request
   Maximum time spent servicing request
   Average time spent servicing request
   Number of 'hits'

In addition, help can be provided in reporting package errors in real-time,
successful recording of error messages in log files.

Webs include CGI with Perl, Python and PHP already available.

Further, Xb2.NET SOAP servers (although not xb2.net HTTP/S servers) can
also run on shared servers.

Regards,

Phil Ide

Osvaldo,

> sound great, What About the costs ?

Yes, there will be some - is that what you want to know? 

Actually, original pricing would have made it affordable for small
low-budget companies, but I've been given some assistance in reducing costs
which could make it very affordable for individuals.  We've also worked out
how to multi-host Xb2.NET servers (if only we read the manuals more closely
), so no problem there either.

Regards,

Phil Ide
