Comodo, an online security provider, today announced an agreement that will see its flagship control panel, H-Sphere, powering the hosting operations of Ireland based hosting company, Hosting365.

H-Sphere is a multiserver web hosting solution capable of being scaled by adding more web, mail, database, and DNS servers without undergoing any downtime. It provides a control panel, admin interface, private label reselling, built-in SSL certificate management tool, virtual private servers, integrated billing, trouble ticket system and clustering capabilities, allowing the management of multiple Linux, FreeBSD and  Win200x servers as one centralized cluster.

This agreement is spread over a five year period and marks the strengthening of relationships between the two companies. Comodo claims that H-Sphere's many features and billing system will automate and improve web hosting tasks for clients.

"Comodo are delighted to have strengthened our existing ties with Ireland's premier webhosting company. We all know hosting is one of the most cut-throat arenas in modern e-commerce. Tight margins and a multitude of competitors mean its combatants must be willing to aggressively explore new markets and have the courage to develop innovative business models to generate fresh avenues of revenue growth. Alongside a naturally complementary portfolio of products, it is this shared desire to succeed through innovation that gives this partnership its vibrant synergies." said Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO, Comodo.
