(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider MaximumASP (www.maximumasp.com) announced this week that it has introduced 30-day a private customer beta for its new shared web hosting platform the MaxESP “elastic shared platform,” seeking feedback on the new platform.
According to the press release, issued Thursday, MaxESP is a “highly available” and “shared-style” ASP.NET hosting platform, designed to be completely compliant with the PCI standard for data security imposed by the credit card industry on merchants.
“MaxESP is a complete high availability solution at a shared hosting price point. It combines load balancing, layer 7 routing, multiple application servers, and SAN storage to provide a level of reliability previously only available in a very costly custom environment,” said Matt Griffin, MaxESP product manager at MaximumASP.
The press release is somewhat short of details on the nature of the new service, as well as the details of the beta period. There is no clear statement of when the product might be brought into a production environment, or available as a for-sale product. But MaximumASP will no doubt be issuing more information on the subject, as the beta continues.
The company says the new service was created in response to information gathered from a survey of customers, conducted in May 2009, and was built using some of the technologies made available by Microsoft in IIS 7.5 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
MaximumASP has been a provider of Windows-based services since it was founded in 2000. The company is a Gold Certified Microsoft partner, and was named the software company’s Hosting Partner of the Year at Microsoft’s 2009 Worldwide Partner Conference.
A virtual tour of the company’s Louisville, Kentucky data center is available in the infrastructure section of the company’s website.
Last week, MaximumASP announced that it had partnered with GlobalSign to resell that company’s SSL certificate solutions.
