[edit] Overview

Hosting Controller Automation Solution is a business and operational support system for hosting service providers, including shared web hosting for both Linux and Windows. It also supports SaaS and Enterprise hosting services like MS Exchange, Virtualization, SharePoint and BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

[edit] Latest release

HC8, released in March 2009, manages different hosting services in both cluster and simple environments.[1][2]. The latest upgrade in HC8 version is released as 8.11 in June 2011. It provides support for web hosting companies to manage Windows and Linux servers through a unified interface.
