UK-based hosting software developer Webhost Automation Ltd. is proud to announce a new licensing model for it's multi-server management system, Helm, targeted at start-up web hosts.

Since it's launch in December 2002 Helm has attracted a lot of attention from windows-based webhosting companies due to it's ability to offer true multi-server distribution of services for Windows 2000.

"Helm is designed for Web hosting operations of any size and we've already attracted attention from the more established hosts. We want to ensure that we can help the smaller start-up firms get off the ground by using Helm to help manage and automate their business and our new license provides this opportunity." - Mark Hall, Director of WebHost Automation Ltd.

The new "Single Server" licence for Helm, allows small or new webhosts to get the benefits of Helm for a one-off cost of just $300. This allows the hosting of an unlimited number of domains and services on a single server with 30 days technical support also included.

To encourage web hosting companies to grow, WebHost Automation Ltd. also offers a discounted upgrade path to move from the Single Server Licence to the standard Helm licence as needed.
