Are there any resellers that use Rackspace and the H-Sphere Control Panel?

I recently noticed that Rackspace was using H-Sphere, and that's what made me take another look at H Sphere. I thought "if a reputable company like Rackspace is using H Sphere, then it can't be that bad."

What would make you think hsphere is bad? From what I've heard its "the best" control panel currently on the market.

Their site is incomplete. It looks like they haven't started yet. Their order button doesn't even work. What bandwidth providers does Inflow Nashville use? I like the fact that they are in my area.

I don't know Im still looking at one time they had a map telling which bw providers in each facility. But its probably a mix between ATT, UUNet, Genuity, Sprint, and C&W. Best bet would be to call them. And be sure to tell us on here.

Chrisb, correct Weberz does not use Rackspace. I have no idea why you would correlate that with spam though. Kinda silly.

I asked about Rackspace AND H sphere (as in combined), but someone posted a host that isn't a Rackspace host... so since it didn't apply, I'd call it "spam". I hope you understand now.

I'd call it spam only if it was from a representative of Weberz, which it does not appear to be. More than likely it was simply an oversight, and so labeling that spam is, well, silly.

I agree, it does sort of look like spam, but then again it dosen't because at the moment he dosen't seem to be a representive of weberz.

Hmmm... Scott, I think it's silly that you use the word "silly" so much. :)

Hopefully this isn't "spam" but we use rackspace, and h-sphere (aka hostware)

Not at all! Sounds like a great combination to me. Thanks.

I hate to disrupt your thread even more than it has been already chris.

I happen to be the only person at Weberz, so I can say for sure that it is not spam from me.

I had heard that rackspace was using H-Sphere for some type of reselling.

I could have sworn that I read a press relese at thewhir.com, but cannot find it now for the life of me.

Rackspace has taken the H-sphere product and is reselling it as "Hostware". It is no different, they just offer support, and charge a monthly fee for licenses verus paying a per license fee.

For the record, Weberz is not in a rackspace facility, Weberz is in the Inflow facility in Nashville, which Chrisb is aleady aware of.

Thanks Tracy for that info. It was not meant as an insult to your company or to anyone else. I was really joking because I had never used the spam avatar and wanted to try it out. I guess I should have made that clear.

No offense intended Chris, I just hate to see the slightest misinformation lead to worse topics... I could just see the next question about the quality of Tracy's service would result in a post pointing to this thread and a quote saying "they appear to be spammers." Knowing Tracy a little bit, I got a bit defensive. I know how badly things get taken out of context in forums.

Scott, you are not kidding about things being taken out of context and believe me it can happen real fast.

Thanks for the post's btw.

Email me at tracy@weberz.com, I think that we must be on two different wavelengths and we need to get together so we can get on the same wavelength :D

Seriously email me because now I have no idea what you are talking about.
