With a rapid expansion in the web hosting industry, provisions for multiple-platform hosting services are becoming popular by the day. It is generally seen that what a medium, large or a growing web host desire for is a solution that can provide easy management and single interface for hosting servers running on Windows and Linux. HC9 provides a unique opportunity to manage hosting servers running on different platforms through single interface. Hosting Controller is the only hosting automation tool that supports both Windows and Linux hosting within a cluster. This provides flexibility to manage Windows (IIS) and Linux (Apache) web servers simultaneously through a centralized single interface.

It proves quite cumbersome to manage Windows Active Directory, through its own built-in native tools. We have the solution. Hosting Controller provides an easy way to add users, groups and contacts to Windows Active Directory. It provides an intuitive, web-based solution for managing Active Directory accounts and enabling various services such as Exchange and SharePoint against them.

Managing multiple servers is not only a tedious job but doing it manually also involves additional resources. Now you can manage multiple servers through single interface within a cluster. HC relieves the pain of logging into different servers separately and performing related management tasks. HC is designed and built as a software system to facilitate administration tasks, manages a cluster of servers that exposes a centralized interface posing as single virtual entity.

A single Web Server can be part of multiple hosting clusters. Likewise Mail/DNS/DB servers may serve more than one HC hosting cluster.

An out of the box website builder that provides new definition to professional websites. You as a website owner or a hosting provider can take full advantage of Site.pro.

Now with HC each Customer can have an entirely separate box to himself. This means dedicating a server and its resources to a Customer (Resellers and Clients) while still being able to manage it in a cluster. Wonderful isn't it. Confined within the limits of a server, the Customer now gets to create and manage his accounts with the added convenience of being able to access remote machines for Secondary Non-Web needs.

In HC, a cluster can be made independent of the NAT i.e. you can have a server of the cluster outside the NAT. Previously in HC6.1, DCOM remote call was limited to the machines within the NAT IP range because of DCOM limitations. In .NET based remoting service there is no such limitation. In simple words you can get your dedicated servers from different vendors around the world placed in different data centers and still have the option to manage them through single interface in a cluster environment.

Hosting Controller enables you to import existing non-Hosting Controller users into your system. Hosting Controller gets the list of users from the operating system, and you can state whether they will be created as a Reseller or a Client account, what Admin/Reseller account the user will appear under, and what Service Plan the user will use.
