Cloud Hosting & Consultancy


“Cloud computing heralds an evolution of business that is no less influential than e-business”
Gartner

The thing that everyone’s been talking about in recent years on hosting is the move towards cloud computing. As recently as a year ago hosting your site on more than one server was way too expensive for many; these days the cloud makes hosting across many servers in many data centres affordable to all! There are many benefits to this in terms of reliability, scalability and resilience.

For the past 2 years we have been providing our clients with an option to host on the cloud. In early 2009 we moved all of our white label hosting onto Amazon EC2. In late 2009 we began work for Rackspace, developing and supporting their EMEA sites, we are helping them launch the Rackspace Cloud.

Known as Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute(EC2) Amazon are leaders in providing cloud hosting solutions and as of October 2008 have provided a 99.95% uptime SLA. With AWS, your website is served by 19 points of presence globally. Benefits include, different power connectivity and geographical location – all amounting to greater resilience.

As Cloud hosting represents a very different way of hosting, it is vital that your site is set up to benefit from this. We use Scalr to scale your site on-demand and utilise the suite of Amazon and Rackspace services to provide a responsive and cost effective solution to fulfil every requirement. We are cloud experts, we can help you get the most out of it.
