(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Competing in a market with Plesk and Helm, Software developer MachSol (www.machsol.com) has rebranded its Flagship product SaaS-enabled hosted services delivery platform eJadSPM to MachPanel, a unified hosting control panel.
According to MachSol's Monday announcement, MachPanel Provisioning System is a SaaS enabled convergent hosted services control panel for managing and delivering both traditional and next generation hosted services.
MachPanel is designed as a unified solution to let hosting service providers control and provision hosting services including shared hosting, Microsoft Exchange 2007, SharePoint Services, BlackBerry Enterprise Services, Microsoft CRM, OCS, Hyper-V, Dedicated Servers, and VPS Servers, Domain Names and SSL certificates.
"We have been emerging as leader of providing unified and convergent solution for traditional and SaaS hosting and our decision to re-brand eJadSPM to MachPanel has been done at right time and will help us grow to penetrate effectively in market" MachSol vice president and chief technology officer Aziz Paracha said in a statement. "In last two years we have evolved eJadSPM with its enterprise extensions to a complete centralized Hosting Operation and Business Support System (OSS/BSS) and we continue to develop MachPanel as full spectrum solution for Hosting Industry."
Having released its latest version of eJadSPM one year ago, MachSol has more recently added support for Hosted Exchange earlier this year.
Noting large revenue growth in the past six months, MachSol president and chief executive officer Max Roosenbrand said in a statement, "We are expanding our product development very fast and intended to launch complete control panel and provisioning system for Microsoft OCS and Microsoft CRM in first quarter of 2009"
The control panel market competition has been heating up in the past few weeks due to a number of announcements. Earlier this week, Windows-based hosting control panel developer DotNetPanel (www.dotnetpanel.com) released DotNetPanel 2.8.1 and the new Hyper-V module for creating, managing and selling virtual private server accounts. And last week, hosting and virtualization software developer Parallels (www.parallels.com) officially launched version 9 of its Parallels Plesk Panel hosting control panel, including tighter integration with the APS application catalog, new reseller user settings, integration with Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0, a Vista-like theme, and backup and restore functions.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
