HostSRV.com: webMathematica Hosting for Sites of All Sizes
August 19, 2002--HostSRV.com is a pioneer in the business of hosting sites
that use webMathematica to perform complex calculations instantly.
Says founder Tom
Compton, "For a small subscription fee, users avoid systems administration
issues and have tech support to get over troublesome problems.
Additionally, their sites benefit from use of a dedicated server and
access to a pool of kernels."
A HostSRV.com account gives you everything you need to develop secure
interactive mathematics and calculation websites without the hassle
involved with maintaining your own system. If you are a Wolfram Research
webMathematica Premier Service
customer, you will receive a discount when you "park" your
license at HostSRV.com. For a limited time, new accounts are also eligible
for several hours of free consultation with HostSRV.com's webMathematica
programming experts. HostSRV.com's pool of kernels ensures that your users
will not have to wait between calculations. When your site works smoothly,
visitors keep coming back.
Two account holders featured on HostSRV.com's gallery page are Ken Levasseur
and Ben Langton. Both are pleased with HostSRV.com and recommend it to others.
Langton has been using HostSRV.com since early 1999 to create QuickMath, an
educational site that uses webMathematica to solve math
problems instantly and automatically. He says that his site "would simply not
exist without HostSRV.com." Levasseur, a professor at UMass Lowell, has
been using HostSRV.com for about a year. Although he also maintains a
webMathematica license on his own, he mentions that "my server
isn't as reliable as HostSRV.com's server."
Before Langton switched to HostSRV.com, QuickMath users submitted problems through
an online form. QuickMath automatically solved the problems and returned
the solutions by email, but he was unsatisfied with the volume of users that
his site could handle. "When HostSRV.com started offering online access to
Mathematica, I immediately saw that this was the only way forward
for the
site," Langton explains. "Mathematica and webMathematica have
both enabled me to realize my long-held dream of providing instant, automatically
generated solutions to common math problems."
Levasseur's site supplements his courses at UMass Lowell. The interactive tutorials and
examples help his students to get a more thorough understanding of important
concepts and encourage them to take control of their own learning process.
The webMathematica scripts provide instant visual feedback, so
students know right away whether they understand the material.
HostSRV.com has flexible account options that can accommodate commercial and
personal sites alike. In cases where none of the existing accounts fit the
needs of a potential client, HostSRV.com is happy to work with individuals to
find a customized solution. More information is available online.
