CLUSTER HOSTING

In our unique cluster web hosting architecture, every hosting account is load balanced across the entire cluster. Traffic spikes are automatically routed to different nodes, ensuring that every site is always available. Don't be lured into the promise of high performance claimed by "virtualized" architectures. Trust true load balancing on an enterprise cluster architecture for scalability and reliability.

Start as big as you'd like, add more power whenever you need it.

We can assign your website to the shared nodes in the cluster, configure it to run on a particular dedicated or semi-dedicated node, and even provide multiple dedicated nodes just for your site. Load balancing your website on multiple dedicated servers is a phone call away. Even with a dedicated node, a small amount of your traffic will be load balanced to the cluster - so if the node were to ever go down, your site will continue to be served by our shared cluster.

Hang on - that's not Cloud Hosting. It's Cluster Hosting.

Ok - right! You got us. But that means you know the difference and that's why you're here! In the technical sense of the term, Cloud Hosting usually implies virtualized servers, applications and even services. In many cases you have to write your applications to proprietary APIs, and lose control of your data. Then you have to pay "per-cycle fees" to use the APIs and processing power. Good luck figuring out how many "cycles" you need ahead of time... Also, in a typical cloud environment, you'll find big servers sliced up into little ones.

We don't believe any of that helps you. In fact, we have taken the opposite approach. Instead of taking a big server and slicing it into smaller ones (eg: virtualization), we've taken about 16 big servers and glued them together into one BIG cluster - that to the world looks like ONE server. Get the point? Instead of getting 1/16th of a server, you could get 16 servers all working together for you. Starting for the price of a shared hosting account.

Clustered Application Deployment Without Application Changes.

On top of all of this - your web site and application can usually be deployed on your clustered / load balanced hosting account without any application changes. We use a centralized database server for you to connect to (and make it look like a localhost connection) plus a clustered file system that makes your private data and web space accessible to every node in the cluster. Including your php sessions, etc. So go ahead. Install that application and get load balanced instantly!
