Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server support for Helm with groupSPARK

05:49:11 - 06 August 2007

WebHost Automation (webhostautomation.com), producers of leading Windows webhosting control panel Helm, have announced the release of a new module that enables webhosts to offer Microsoft Exchange hosting services via a third party.

By partnering with Microsoft’s biggest Hosted Exchange reseller groupSPARK (http://www.groupspark.com/), and developing a support module to facilitate the process, Helm users will no longer need to have their own servers or pay for expensive licensing.

As Hosted Exchange markets boom – with growth predicted to exceed US$600 Million in the next year – Helm users have been requesting that WebHost Automation find a way to help them capitalize on the trend.

The answer was to produce a module that will be freely available for use with Helm, and operating through a third party to maximise benefit while also reducing additional workload for the hosts themselves.

While customers must sign up directly with groupSPARK to start using the system, this process is easily facilitated by signing up via a page on the WebHost Automation website.

Once signed up, Helm users can become resellers of groupSPARK, paying just $8 per user per month for hosted Microsoft Exchange services, while being able to set their own resell charges for their customers.

“Helm has not previously offered support for Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, something that our customers have been seeking a solution to for some time. We believe that we have found a truly beneficial way for them to provide hosted Microsoft Exchange,” said Mark Hall, Founder and COO of WebHost Automation.

“By facilitating use of Microsoft Exchange via groupSPARK, hosted Microsoft Exchange will make life far easier for hosts by taking the actual management off their hands.”

The Microsoft Exchange/groupSPARK module is available to all licensed Helm users, and a 30 day no obligation trial is available from groupSPARK.

During the trial period hosts will be able to access the full service to see the full range of benefits it can offer to their customers, and how it eliminates the management needs for themselves.

And there is also a special offer to go with this new development.  Anyone that signs up here at http://www.webhostautomation.com/GroupSPARK, can prepay any amount between $100 and $5000 and get double that amount in credit! So if you prepay $1000 you get $2000 in total credit! Credits have to be used in the first year.

WebHost Automation Limited is based in Bristol, United Kingdom, and has developed Helm, the only true multi-server control panel software for Windows.  Since start-up in 2002, WebHost Automation has grown steadily, and now has customers in well over 130 countries.  The Helm community can be found online at http://forums.webhostautomation.com
