MaximumASP, a provider of web hosting services, today announced the availability of a new line of Microsoft-based virtual web hosting.

The company explains that its 'Virtual Environment' powered by Virtuozzo, provides a leap in server virtualization features and resources, while still providing the same high level of Superior Support for which MaximumASP is known in the industry. Each Virtual Environment performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; VE can be rebooted independently and provides independent root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processor utilization, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

Silas Boyle, Managing Partner of MaximumASP explains "The Virtual Environment provides a lower priced alternative to our dedicated server offerings without making any compromise on quality. Each Virtual Environment performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server for its users and applications.

"SWsoft's Virtuozzo software delivers powerful server virtualization technology as part of MaximumASP's Virtual Environment web hosting solution," said Kurt Daniel, Vice President of Marketing and Alliances, SWsoft.  "Virtuozzo's low overhead architecture will help MaximumASP maximize its resources in the competitive hosting market with capabilities such as automated provisioning and upgrades, and self-management tools that increase server utilization with minimal downtime."
