Spiral Hosting

Dublin, Ireland, Web Hosting Provider SpiralHosting.com announced on Saturday that it has re-launched its reseller hosting packages. The new packages include over twice the disk space and 50% extra bandwidth allocations.

On Spiral Hosting’s blog, company spokesperson Peter Armstrong commented:
“Spiral’s new scalable reseller packages include all the features required to run a successful web hosting business. We looked closely at what web designers and developers expected from their hosting solutions provider then we created packages to fit their needs and pass their expectations.

“Spiral Hosting are delivering solutions that resellers can sell to their clients and be proud to call their own. Resellers can choose their own branding and use our transparent name servers so your clients don’t know we exist.”

“Resellers can start with our 10 sites package and increase their package as their business grows. Packages costing as little as €19.95 per month are now available, with no setup fees and with unlimited databases and mail boxes.”

And our second announcement (in our Super-Month-of-Announcements aka. August!)…

We are delighted to now offer free web hosting for charities registered in Ireland or the UK.

If you are involved with a registered charity in Ireland, did you know they are also eligible for free .ie domain registration? We will happily help them setup their web hosting and register their domain name.

Also, we will provide highly discounted rates for other non-profit organisations who are not registered as charities.

Here is an interesting interview that I thought I’d share with you.

Via Silicon Republic, they talk to Aodhan Cullen, the creator of StatCounter. StatCounter provides free live web analytics services, and Aodhan started it in 2000 when he was only 16.

Aodhan says:
“We started with one shared server, and as more visitors signed up we moved to a dedicated one and it just kept growing and growing. We now have over 90 servers in Texas. At the moment we’re adding about two new ones every couple of weeks.”

I think we’re looking at a new announcement every day this month! Here’s our first promotion…

Spiral Hosting will give new customers switching from another web host 25% discount!

Do you want an excellent Irish host, super-fast Irish servers, and 24-hour support based in Ireland? You’ve come to the right place. We have a professional Concierge Team who specialise in transferring your files, email and domain without any downtime!

Another improvement to Spiral Hosting’s services for business!

Our Business Hosting package has today increased from 5 to 8 addon domains.

Via Damien Mulley, a Xiti Monitor survey has found that Firefox usage in Ireland has reached 38.6%. That’s 10 points above the EU average of 28%.

The results show just how important it is that websites are accessible across all browsers, particularly here in Ireland. Designers really need to take this into consideration more, as Firefox looks set to continue growing while Internet Explorer plays catch up.

This month so far SpiralHosting.com has 43% of visitors using Firefox and 46% using Internet Explorer.

Spiral Hosting are delighted to announce that with immediate effect we have increased the number of databases on our hosting packages.

Our Basic Hosting has increased from 2 to 3 databases while Standard Hosting has increased from 3 to 5. Business Hosting now has 8 databases and Enterprise Hosting now has 10 databases.

What to do with so many databases? Why not start a new blog, forum or photo gallery!
