July 18, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting systems and services provider Webhost Automation (webhostautomation.com) announced on Monday it has launched the beta version of Helm 4, the latest release of its flagship control panel. The new version offers higher levels of control, hugely increased automation and the ability to add features unavailable with other control panel software.
The Helm 4 beta is now available and will be officially released on October 2 with a limited 50 percent off promotion. The offer is aimed to encourage more Web hosts to build or expand their business on Windows.
The new control panel also offers more secure communications, better backups, cross data support without the need for VPN, a single point billing system and greater notifications to customers. The company says the flexible nature of Helm 4's modular design enables it to include incredibly powerful new features with minimal development.
"On a practical level, this means that hosting companies can create and provide unique and new services for their customers, as well as for their own business," says Adam Saunders, co-founder and CTO of Webhost Automation. "Helm 4 will make it possible for us or developers to easily add new modules, so that Web hosts can quite literally control anything from their control panel. This gives the Web host more to sell or the ability to add massive value to end users -- both of which increase profitability."
