Hosting 365

Price may be an important consideration when evaluating hosting options, but increasingly, price is being standardised, with annual plans from 37.75 providing ample resources for the average web site.
However price alone is a very poor comparison metric. Features are generally compared when looking at price - but again, this metric is mis-leading, as many small […]

Ever wonder why Hosting365 is Ireland’s largest and fastest growing hosting company?
Yeah, me too, and I SHOULD know! Anyway … today Danny Briem (one of our night engineers) found the answer and suggested I post it here. Thanks Danny!
So, issues understood, competitive analysis done, my work here is complete!

It stuck me earlier as I was speaking to someone about equipment financial deals with suppliers and banks that the hosting model is very similar to it - although with far more added value.
A financing deal basically allows you to purchase an expensive piece of equipment - say a 5000 euro server - and pay […]

Gartner reports (no link, sorry, read it on REAL paper!) that the role of the CIO is to change from being predominantly internal in focus to a more external outlook, challenged with helping company competitiveness and growth.
The report peaked MY interest because it 2 of the technologies it mentions that will be key in 2006 […]

Congratulations to the 17 year old who created ZooomR, what someare calling a ‘FlickR killer’. But while what Kristopher Tate has created may technically be a fantastic application, and currently provide more features than FlickR, it’s unlikely to cause any harm to the photo site.

On the 11th of March Ireland’s first Blog Awards ceremony was held in Dublin City, and to great success with over 160 participants!
We sponsored the category for ‘Best Personal Blog’ which was won by ‘that girl’ from thinkingoutloud. Below is a photo of the prizegiving - you can see it was a pretty informal affair! […]

There’s been lots of talk in Bubble 1.0 and Bubble 2.0 (that’s now!) about SaaS : Software as a Service (i.e salesforce.com, Microsoft Live), and it seems now that business, software and infrastructure have caught up with the IDEA of it, SaaS companies are becoming successful.
I came across an article by Nicolas Carr (of ‘Does […]

Late last week we launched a new web site - phew! You’ve no idea (actually, most of you probably do!) how much hard work goes into creating a new site from designs to content. More importantly, we spent a long time discussing the new hosting plans and features.
Typically Irish hosting companies have provided a fraction […]

There’s been lots of rumours and reports over the last couple of days about a leaked presentation on the Google site which talks about an on-line backup service that replicates users entire hard drive.
Personally I’d love a service like that - I’ve about 80gb stored on my disk and on-line backup, for free, of the […]

A lot of companies are guilty of over using the phrase ‘world-class’ when it comes to their products and services - ourselves included, so I know I’m in a glass house here! Businesses used to say ‘guaranteed quality’ all the time, but that’s a given now - if you’re service isn’t ‘quality’ you won’t have […]
