Cloud technology is the next step in the evolution of the internet, in the next few years cloud computing will be at the core of many things you do online. Google already has the foundations of a cloud based Operating System in place which essentially uses the same method as our cloud hosting technology. Why is this technology so much better? For a couple of very simple but profound reasons...reduction in energy consumption and wastage, and improved stability and perfomance through collective pooling of resouces.

In other words, the tech boffins have discovered a much better way of doing things.

Cloud Hosting is a revolutionary web hosting platform that is truly scalable and distributed across several data centres. Due to its limitless nature and upward scalable design it allows us to provide a truly unlimited hosting account, which provides unrivalled uptime.

By handling security, load balancing and server resources virtually you are no longer restricted to the limits of one physical piece of hardware. In basic terms, online operations are not limited to a single server, they have access to the processing power of a number of servers that are distributed in real time.

Our Cloud currently consists of 64 high powered HP servers using RedHat Enterprise Linux, across two data centres in the UK using HP shared storage replicated between sites.

In a physical environment, a web site (for instance) is limited to the resource constraints that is housed within the physical unit (RAM, processing power, bandwidth etc).

The concept of a cloud infrastructure no longer has this limitation - you, as a customer, can have as much computing power as you need. The nature of the infrastructure means that scaling up and down is seamless and thus spikes in traffic aren't problematic.

We can add more servers to our cluster with no impact or downtime on your hosting allowing us to provide our 99.99% uptime.

Our cloud architecture has the ability to provide the stability and resilience of a web hosting architecture that a few years ago only large corporate organisations could obtain through huge IT expenditure.
