Preferred H-Sphere Partner

SoftLayer’s strategic partnership with EIRCA Ltd. makes them the preferred solution provider for SoftLayer customers looking for managed H-Sphere Clusters. H-Sphere, now owned by Parallels, is a control panel for managing servers. EIRCA leverages SoftLayer’s leading network-within-a-network topology to provide secure and fast data movement between H-Sphere servers that reside in all of SoftLayer’s data centers. SoftLayer will be the exclusive provider of dedicated servers for all EIRCA customers.

Our H-Sphere reseller hosting solutions introduce Geographically Clustered Services (GCS). Geographically Clustered Services give you greater protection against downtime by spreading different critical services through a cluster, or group of servers, across a number of different locations. See our network introduction for more information. Our GCS currently spans Seattle, Washington and Dallas, Texas. Two additional locations are to be added before the end of the second quarter, 2008.

What makes EIRCA stand out? Beyond the basic fundamentals that make up a web hosting provider, you'll find a team of highly trained professionals that are dedicated to delivering fast, efficient, friendly and business-enabling reseller web hosting.

EIRCA's Uptime Guarantee

In 2005, EIRCA decided to change things up. We introduced "Double Your Money"; the industry's first and only guarantee that gives subscribers double their monthly fees back in the event of an unscheduled outage that last more than 43 minutes in total. You did read that right. A guarantee that gives you the ultimate in protection, and doesn't have you rolling on the floor with laughter (or despair) when it comes in to play.

We take your web sites seriously. We don't believe that giving you a credit that wouldn't even buy you a cup of coffee is fair. It's not fair to your users, it's not fair to you.

H-Sphere was first released in January 1998 as a tool to reduce operational costs associated with running a web-hosting business. On the front-end, it has a user-friendly interface which allows online ordering and customer self-care. On the back-end, it delivers a system for managing hosting plans, operating systems, database platforms, and e-commerce services.
