Europeantenders.com, an online resource for finding government and public sector contracts throughout the European Union, is being hosted by
Rackspace
Managed Hosting Europe. The site (www.europeantenders.com) offers the latest up to the minute news about hundreds of public sector tenders throughout Europe.
Managed by Inovica Ltd, an award winning full-service Internet application developer and online company incubator, Europeantenders.com offers subscribers access to contracts worth an estimated EUR1 000 billion per year. The site is updated five days per week and each update includes between 500 and 800 new tenders and business opportunities. Europeantenders.com also provides an announcement service that e-mails subscribers news of new tenders as they are made public. This service matches company profiles and business focus to these tenders.
Adrian Teasdale, Digital Futurist, Inovica, says: "Having looked seriously at five other hosting companies, our decision to choose Rackspace was based on their committed support and level of network uptime. Rackspace`s level of service to date has been truly outstanding. They had our server online within hours of the request. Support is really 24 hours -- which is great -- you can always get to talk to someone on the phone and never get an automated answering service. If there is ever an emergency then you know that Rackspace will be there for you.
"We have other dedicated servers around the world with different providers, but for a mission-critical application such as Europeantenders.com we needed to use a hosting provider we could trust - Rackspace were the people that we called.
"Security is also a high priority for us and we know that Rackspace takes the security of its servers very seriously. We currently have one Linux server with Rackspace for Europeantenders.com, but we intend to increase this as usage of the site develops."
Dominic Monkhouse, Managing Director, Rackspace Managed Hosting Europe, explains: "Rackspace has a long-term reputation in Internet hosting with technical support staff who go that extra mile to serve customers. Rackspace`s committed approach to excellent customer service illustrates its 100% customer focus and this is what we term as Fanatical Support. Our customers really feel that they can trust us with their Web sites. A site such as Europeantenders.com, which has users logging on from all over the world, needs to be available 24 hours a day. We ensure that it is up and running all the time."
