MSP – Managed Service Provider is still higher latitude of the services paradigm for all ISP’s since it is the most financially lucrative business available to all involved in the Telecommunications industry. After a gap of 7 years I had returned back to the Telecom segment and after living it on a second by second basis, I still find the most amazing thing I have seen is the “Internet” and the fantastic notions it produces making our lives richer. Changes are permanent and so does ones knowledge, I have learnt to live with this changing scenario and it is forever that one learns. Shared hosting is the most profitable segments of the Worldwide hosting industry and by far will continue to grow providing the large segments of individuals, small and medium business the “Show case” to present them to the world anywhere, anytime on a 24 x 7 x 365 basis through the WWW – World Wide Web, testing the hosting providers might to deliver effectively at the OSI Layer 7 – Application Layer. Abstract: The shared hosting being still a very new service in the internet service provider realm, Daycohost started to provide this service with the world leader in web hosting , called Verio. This was due to the fact that Daycohost did not have the sufficient know-how and the market was just growing in Venezuela so to position itself strongly in this segment the alliance with Verio was sought. But as time went on into the 2nd year of operating the platform, there were challenges like problems with technical support, absoluteness of the platform, and pricing became a problem for Daycohost to compete against new providers who did not have any or very low investment in Venezuela and thereby a alternate business plan to replace the platform was sought which resulted in the project “Rendezvous” after a lunch meeting in Caracas year 2002. Based on industry standards, client requirement analysis after interviewing around 100 clients, and a clean financial analysis, strategic planning meet it was decided that we go ahead quietly. After careful selection of world leading providers of Hosting automation software – Sphera was selected aptly. It is now to be seen how Daycohost makes the most of this application framework after a successful implementation. 8 Note: “Daycohost” is the trademark of Dayco Telecom C.A., a Venezuelan ISP, also referred to as Dayco, Daycohost, Dayco Telecom C.A. in the thesis”. Verio a Colorado based ISP internet service provider is herein referred to as Verio. 9 Part 1: Technology Issues of web hosting One of the major forces that drove the rapid adoption of the Internet beyond academia and research labs was the invention of the Web browser along with the development of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

  • Achieving Redundancy with Hosting Controller
    Perspective In the perilous world of hosting one of the most sought-after features is failover capability. Most hosting providers desire a redundant setup in order to keep their content highly available (H.A) and minimize the chances of downtime in case of a disaster. Why is Redundancy Important? Hosting businesses usually require their data-centric internet applications to be served by more than one servers in a highly available cluster. Redundancy ensures that the data of a provider is always safe and readily available. Maximizing uptime is one of the prime goals of ISPs, ITSPs, Telcos, HSPs, MSPs and other Cloud providers. Redundancy can and does help.
