New Product – Cloud Hosting

admin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:08:59 +0000

We are proud to announce our newest product, the Cloud Hosting is now available for purchase in our main site.

As you aware, cloud computing technology is already rapidly adopted in various implementations in the IT field nowadays. Of course, web hosting is one of it.

So what is the difference between conventional web hosting and cloud hosting?
The most significant difference is, conventional web hosting, are hosting your websites in a standalone server, which prone to single point of failure. If the server was down for maintenance, your website will be offline. If the server is suffering high loads, your website may load sluggishly.

While when hosting your website on a cloud environment, the above issues will be eliminated. It is because your website is hosted on various servers, load balancing across all servers in the cloud. So if your website is suddenly in need of high resource usage, it will still loads smoothly without you noticing any slow down. If one or a few of the servers in the cloud is taken offline for maintenance, you website will still stay online and serve by the other servers which are still online in the cloud.

Of course, higher quality comes with higher price.
The cheapest cloud hosting plan of ours, is current start from $15/Month.

For more details on the cloud hosting plan’s specs, please visit the link below to find out more!
