You can view more on that here: http://www.thewhir.com/marketwatch/120606_EIRCA_Disputes_DIYHosting_Sale.cfm There's around 300 sites that have so far picked up syndication, I expect more will follow soon, which should give you a general idea of how big a deal that whole thing is. I'll be posting some related articles over the weekend, but the general gist of it is that we're going to wait for a decision on DIY before going forward with EIRCA's H-Sphere offering (or not, whichever the case may be). With regards to competing against resellers: One of the reasons we held off for so long was discussions with the current resellers regarding this [possible] issue. It was decided by all involved that EIRCA offering high-end application hosting was in no way competing with resellers; resellers couldn't offer the same type of hosting because it is very intensive both on the server resources (hence the insanely high powered servers) and on the support side. The solutions being offered by This Is Hosting, it is safe to say, won't compete with our resellers on any level. Hi Roger,

Going to your http://www.eirca.net Web site, I find Cpanel, but not H-Sphere reseller hosting. It also appears you are entering into the retail hosting market, which means you would be competing against the reseller, correct? What URL is needed to find your H-Sphere reseller hosting? Roger Hi Simon,
