Why Do I Need a Hosting Server?

Need to Host Multiple Sites - with the Merlin Hosting Server, you get all the tools you need to become your own Internet Service Provider - in either a small or big way. Set up web sites, email accounts, stores, etc. for multiple accounts. Growth - Start with simply one System Admin account for your own use. Then sign people up for their own sites. When Merlin is "maxed out", simply buy a second unit, plug it in, and keep on adding accounts. Communities - The Merlin Hosting Server is great for a community that wants to give its members web-sites and email accounts. A great way to tie the community together! All your Internet needs in one box - Merlin applications cover almost everything you would need for an Internet presence. All from one source - one customer support number.
