XserveRack.com� Introduces Mac� OS X-based hosting on Apple's new Xserve server hardware Focus on competitive pricing and offering resellers a way to increase profits; Customer pre-launch signup now in progress. ORLANDO, Florida - July 2, 2002 - On the heels of Apple's announcement that they have begun shipping their new Xserve hardware, machinemen today announced XserveRack.com, a new Mac OS X-based web hosting service using Apple's new Xserve rack-mount server hardware. The hosting packages are designed to offer enterprise-level solutions on the Mac OS X platform, and at the same time offer resellers the most competitive pricing in the industry. "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." This has been a big problem in the past for Mac web developers using FileMaker Pro, which is allowed only 50 databases per server. "It was cost prohibitive to do a large site with a FileMaker backend, and host it at a commercial provider. With MySQL, all of those limitations are gone." XserveRack.com can not only accommodate Mac web developers who use industry standard PHP scripting language, but also Blue World's Lasso 5 Professional - and soon ColdFusion MX - to tie into MySQL database software to deploy dynamic web applications. "This allows our customers to develop on literally any platform they have at home or in their office - Linux, Windows, UNIX or Mac - then simply upload the files, and they are ready to go." Currently XserveRack.com is offering an early signup program, which will qualify the customer for special pre-launch pricing and early notification of the service when it goes live. "Besides the best hosting in the industry, we have many things planned that will benefit the Mac OS X community at large� all I can say right now is stay tuned, " said Leonard. XserveRack.com currently offers public discussion forums for the Mac web development community. machinemen has been connecting databases to the Internet since 1994, and has been a leader in web application development. When they noticed a gaping hole in the market for the kind of hosting support they needed, they created XserveRack.com To sign up to qualify for special pre-launch pricing, visit the XserveRack.com web site at http://www.xserverack.com/ __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
