Mosso says that The Hosting Cloud is an advanced, cross-platform cloud computing offering that, for the first time, allows for seamless scalability. The new approach eliminates the cost and complexity of scaling Web infrastructure, specifically for developers and companies looking to deploy large Web applications, says the company.

Currently, for $100 per month, The Hosting Cloud comes with 500GB bandwidth, 50GB disk space and three million Web requests per month as well as around-the-clock live technical support and online software to manage projects and clients. The solution also offers unlimited Web applications and email accounts and as traffic grows, customers 'pay-as-they-grow' through Mosso's utility pricing model that delivers capacity when and where it?s needed. Additional disk space beyond base membership can be purchased for $0.50 per GB, $0.25 per GB for additional bandwidth and $0.03 per extra 1,000 requests.

"At Mosso, our mission is to deliver on the promise of cloud computing - to make it as easy as possible for people to deploy and run Web applications," says Todd Morey, co-founder of Mosso. "We say code it, load it and go. We want to deliver the best possible service and support to our customers so that they can focus on running their businesses, not their applications."

Rackspace recently partnered with third-party logistics software provider 3PL Central.
