Version 6.3 of the Asbru Web Content Management system for PHP, ASP and JSP/Java has been released. The latest update provides many improvements for hosting providers and web designers, who wish to offer the Asbru Web Content Management as a hosted service.

The Hosting Edition of the Asbru Web Content Management System already enables hosting providers to host multiple individual clients each with completely separate websites built and managed through the Asbru Web Content Management system.

The new version 6.3 includes an application that automates the ordering and delivery of the Asbru Web Content Management system as a hosting service. Hosting service customers can now add their website hosting requirements to a shopping cart and when they have successfully completed an order their website is automatically setup and configured. A customizable email with their new website details will then be emailed to them alongside their invoice.

The application is fully customizable enabling hosting companies to add their own look and feel to their store front. Hosting companies can also develop their own Asbru Web Content Management website templates for specialized sectors and enable their customers to select these when ordering a website. A hosting company working in the healthcare sector may for example wish to offer website templates meeting the needs for this particular sector.

The new application also includes functionality, which enables hosting service providers to provide support to their customers. Customers can submit support tickets through the application and participate in a support forum moderated by the hosting service provider.

Finally, in version 6.3 hosting service providers have an improved administration interface for hosted websites including the possibility to categorize hosted websites into for example sector or customer location.
