Cloud hosting - Hosting for the future
Do you want no-hassle, scalable, realiable managed hosting? Then this is the hosting for you. Cloud Computing is something that will change the way business is done. The cloud isn't magic. It's just a fancy way of saying that instead of your website living on 1 physical server, it lives on lots; all at the same time. Cloud hosting offers a number of benefits to your website:
Self-Healing Hardware
Unlike traditional hosting, our whole infrastructure is cloud-based. Every server is self-healing: if any hardware fails, that server will fall out of the cloud and your site will come back online within seconds on new hardware. Automatically.Multiple Locations
