Convergence of Managed Services and Managed Hosting
With the StoreGrid’s recent granular integration with cPanel for domain backup and WHMCS for billing and provisioning automation, we headed straight to HostingCon 2011, San Diego to get feedback on these integrations from the hosting community. What we got was more than feedback; we received insight into how the industry is shifting. We personally spoke with more than 150 attendees who mostly comprised of hosting providers, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and VARs. Many of the hosting providers who are currently offering pure hosting services that includes dedicated hosting, managed hosting, shared hosting, web hosting and VPN said they are looking … Read the rest

Mulling over the Minnows
While the U.S. and the world economies are still trying to come out of the economic crisis, companies have been trimming their work force. The luckier employees who still have their jobs intact now spend much longer hours at work, making up for the reduced work force. It has not been easy for the business owners either. A survey conducted by Grant Thornton International (http://www.gti.org/Press-room/stress2010.asp ) found that 76% of the business owners have reported increased stress levels over the last year, majority of them citing economic climate and increased work load as the reason for it.
In such … Read the rest

SMB’s reaction to Cloud – a Pro/Con Analysis
Why many SMBs are reluctant to Cloud?
“Cloud Computing” – a buzz word that’s on the peak of Hype Cycle for quite some time now is still a ‘jargon’ to many SMBs and Mid Market Companies. It was interesting to see the results of the ‘cloud hosting awareness survey’ conducted by RackSpace that more than two thirds of the SMBs in US are not familiar with the term “Cloud Hosting” – Wow!
Now, two questions immediately arise in our mind. Is that the Small Businesses failed to grasp the cloud computing technology or the Cloud hosting providers done … Read the rest
