Located in the United States, we are a team of two developers and system administrators.
We have experience in the hosting industry for over 9 years now and are involved in hsphere for 6 years.
The Hosting Automation Software H-Sphere written by PSOFT offers since version 2.4 an interface for integrating custom H-Sphere Addons, H-Sphere Packages and Plugins. These H-Sphere Addons, provide new or override default HSphere functionality.
There are different types of plugins that can be created for H-Sphere. At this point we are working in two of those hsphere plugin categories.
-
EasyApp Plugins
- 3rd Party Plugins
One type of Addon is utilizing the EasyApp Engine, an Interface written to enable 3rd party vendors to integrate Web based Applications so they can be easily installed from within the HSphere Hosting control Panel by their end-users.
This allows your End User to install a Web Application with the click of a button from his HSphere Hosting Control Panel. No need for the h-sphere end user to fight with FTP access, Binary/Ascii upload, Unix Permissions or Creating MySQL Databases. Less Customer Support for you since our install prevents all the common issues you experience when customers try to do the install by hand. Our bundles do all this for your end-user. Our Predefined values are chosen sensitive to security and some, like Database parameters, are hidden from the customer. (in some cases we could create a more secure install then the Vendors installer itself). Secondly, our experience with these applications will ensure a high quality experience for your end user. (setting permissions on upload directories for example!)
Last, we are trying hard to only include high quality Applications. Examples at the moment are Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, Serendipity and ZenCart to just name a few. More EasyApps are added over time.
The second type we are involved in are 3rdparty Hsphere Plugins like our Postini Plugin.
These plugins are only using the HSphere Control Panel Framwork, but not a dedicated SDK like easyapp does.
It has the advantage of being more flexible and allowing us to basically incorporate any feature imagineable in Hsphere.
Why a Subscription model?
We are committed to be there for you and deliver high quality updates to you for many years to come.
Our Team is highly qualified and experienced and this just costs money. To keep this team and to be able to pay attention to all the little details as well as keep up with the constant new releases, we decided to offer a subscription to our EasyApp Product. This ensures that we have an income that will keep the team motivated to produce the quality EasyApps and other addons that we are producing right now.
We are here to stay!
