August 17, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Swsoft (sw-soft.com), a leading provider of hosting

infrastructure solutions and 1-Net Singapore (1-net.com.sg), an Asian

Internet powerhouse, have announced the creation of a new hosting service,

Virtual@1-Net (virtual.1-net.com.sg) based on SWsoft's patent-pending HSPcomplete hosting solution.

Virtual@1-Net uses HSPcomplete's Virtuozzo technology to give customers

complete control over their own private e-business server in a shared

environment, turning Dell PowerEdge servers into datacenter-class mainframe

machines, and effectively eliminating the need for expensive "big-iron."

In addition to hardware cost reductions passed on to the end-user, the

solution is designed to give customers better ways to manage their hosting

environment through advanced web-based interfaces and rapid application

provisioning.

Virtual@1-Net uses the resource management capabilities of Virtuozzo to

provide the customer custom services. Customers can purchase a private

server with full administrator access for under US$10 per month and upgrade

their bandwidth, CPU and storage as their needs increase. For comparison,

the U.S. hosting company Verio offers similar services based on in-house

technology starting at US$149.95 per month. The companies say the cost

savings can be attributed to the efficiency of Swsoft's Virtuozzo

technology.

According to Dr. Alexander Tormasov, chief scientist for SWsoft, "Virtuozzo

is more advanced than anything else on the market. In this rapidly changing

environment, customers are demanding more versatile and flexible hosting

environments to manage their business," he said.

This new service is geared toward resellers as it enables them to have total

control of the web hosting facility without investing any capital assets.

"HSPcomplete with Dell PowerEdge Server infrastructure is designed to help

hosting providers offer the best and most cost-effective services from

shared web hosting for small and medium businesses to cluster configurations

for enterprise customers," said Serguei Beloussov, founder and CEO of

SWsoft. "Network infrastructure outsourcing and e-business enablement are

the strongest trends of this century."
