Cloud hosting is the next generation of web hosting systems. It is highly reliable and can cope with massive spikes in web traffic automatically.
Our cloud hosting offering is backed by Rackspace - the leader in network connectivity and web services.
Unlike some cloud hosting providers our service is very easy to use, it is made to work almost exactly like traditional shared hosting - there are no cloud configuration control panels to navigate through and no endless options for server type, memory allocation etc.
You just sign up for an account and use it!
From the moment you upload your files they are replicated across multiple storage arrays, your website is served from clusters of web servers and if your traffic spikes the load is automatically spread across these arrays (known as nodes).
Email is also covered - with multiple email clusters with webmail available as standard.
Databases are also available with MySQL and MS SQL clusters.
You can choose to use Linux or Windows hosting - and a unique feature of our cloud hosting is that you can run Linux scripts (e.g. PHP) and Windows scrips (eg .ASP) on the same site at the same time. This is achieved by serving your native Linux files from Linux clusters and your native Windows files from Windows Server clusters.
It's affordable!
Until recently the only businesses that could afford such clustered set-up's were large blue chip companies such as Amazon and Google... But we are now able to offer smaller 'chunks' of the cloud system which makes it affordable to small business owners and individuals.
Plans start at a very reasonable £15 per month!
