Cloud Hosting

What is the Cloud?

Cloud hosting is an alternative to dedicated server hosting using highly available virtualization technologies. 

The hardware on which your web hosting runs is virtualized. This brings a number of huge benefits, including a higher secure environment, the ability to offer unlimited web space & unlimited bandwidth allowances with a massive 99.99% uptime.

How is it so reliable?

We use the latest virtualisation software to abstract your Plesk hosting services from the hardware that it sits on.

The storage is centralised in a highly available Storage Area Network (SAN). This not only makes the network a lot quicker, but also means that you're no longer reliant on the physical machine on which your web hosting runs.

Our Cloud hosting cluster controller watches all Plesk hosting services day and night, and if it detects a failure of any critical hardware, it'll automatically move the hosting onto spare hardware. 

You won't notice this, and our engineers would then simply replace the failed hardware with no impact to your web site or e-mail services.

We're so confident that it works, that we guarantee your hosting won't drop below 99.99% availability for the month.

Cloud Performance

Because there are muliple servers processing your data at the same time, our cloud platform has averagely 30% faster in responding time than a tradition hosting environment. What does this mean? This means you site can present your business in front of your customer much quicker than your competitors therefore your business will get a better impression from your customers and the most of all you will get more traffic from search engines than your competitors.

Green Initiative 

Overall we believe our hosting uses approximately an eighth of the power of a modern similarly specified physical web hosting server. Combined with the energy reduction procedures we're putting in place across our datacentres, it adds up to make a real difference.

We are the only company in the UK that offers free Cloud Hosting to your customer (terms and conditions apply).
