A single server will only provide the power and speed that its hardware is capable
of handling. When traffic spikes or unplanned growth occurs, one server simply can’t
keep up. The vendor would need to quickly provision new hardware in order to keep up
with demand. This process can take anywhere from 2-24 hours, while the website suffers
downtime and slow response times due to a struggling server. That doesn’t even include
all the time spent preparing the server for production!
Our infrastructure has hundreds of servers in a common cloud, equally distributing power
and resources to websites. Each website is allowed to use as much computing power it
requires at any point in time. This allows each website on the cloud to have “bursts” of
traffic and resource usage, without affecting any other website’s performance.
With dedicated servers, your infrastructure is restricted to the resources available at that single
point in time. In order to have optimal website performance, additional servers and resources need
to available on hand at all times and ready to be launched into production. This results in the added
costs of wasted resources that may be available but unused, along with high depreciation costs of hardware.
The cloud loves growth! In fact, it was built for it. Sit back and enjoy the publicity that your site is
receiving while our system automatically scales your site with exactly more space, bandwidth or
computing cycles it needs. With our scale pricing, you only pay for the additional resources you need – nothing
else.
Downtime, slow response times, or hardware problems are a very common occurrence with dedicated
servers. Since machines are not perfect, every server in the world is prone to having some type
of hardware problem. If a piece of hardware in the server fails for whatever reason, your website
is down until someone can replace that part. The most common hardware failures are hard drives,
leaving your data always at risk!
Our cloud infrastructure was designed specifically to avoid downtime from hardware problems. Each
and every site hosted on the cloud is laid out across large clusters of servers, which automatically
re-adjust as performance changes. If one server fails, other servers in the cluster will take over and
continue to operate for it. Your customers and visitors never notice any problems, leaving your site
fully operational 100% of the time.
Dedicated servers are configured with either Linux or Windows technologies, forcing you to use the
platform they have installed and leaving you no choice but to use certain software. When you need to
install an application that requires a different operating system, a new dedicated server is required!
Our cloud hosting allows you to have both Linux and Windows technologies on the same platform. This allows
you to work and manage how you want, leaving you the option to run your site and applications with freedom.
We take care of all the load balancing, clustering and safe storage for both these operating platforms.
Most dedicated servers are unmanaged and leave you with a bundle of complications. The added expense of
managing your own dedicated server or paying an IT professional adds up quickly. The server will come with
either no control panel or a confusing mass marketed control panel that does not accommodate your needs.
Control panels such as cPanel ® and Plesk ® are also prone to hackers, spammers, and viruses.
Managing a website is already a complicated task, why should you need to worry about all the technical
aspects behind it? Our cloud infrastructure was carefully crafted to provide customers the highest level
of management available. Additionally, we built the most user friendly control panel from the ground up,
making the loading and management of your website seamless and easy. Upload files, create databases,
and add email accounts through a stunning interface free of clutter and confusions!
