Based on the Mac OS X platform, says XserveRack.com, the new hosting packages are designed to offer enterprise-level solutions as well as competitive pricing for resellers.

“We thought it was time to do Mac OS X hosting the right way” said Bill Leonard, XserveRack.com?s Internet systems engineer. “There are plenty of excellent Mac hosts out there, but the pricing isn?t really competitive with the rest of the hosting industry. We offer hosting on the platform they want, at a price competitive with any large hosting provider out there.”

XserveRack.com says that, in addition to the industry standard PHP scripting language, its services can support Blue World?s Lasso 5 Professional and will soon support ColdFusion MX, in order to use MySQL database software to deploy dynamic Web applications.
