Cloud Hosting
What is ‘cloud hosting’?
Wikipedia says: Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the “cloud” that supports them.
How does that help me?
- Because of the scalability of cloud hosting, you need no longer fear traffic spikes or “the slashdot effect“
- Your website will load fast regardless of who is viewing it.
- Your website is mirrored across multiple global servers.
- The pages of your site are served from the server nearest to the viewer
How much does it all cost?
1 Package to suit all needs:
- 5 GB Disk Space
- 10 GB data Transfer
- 25 POP Accounts
- 1000 computations*
- R100 per month
* A computation is a means of calculating the load used by any given site. To give you an idea of how many computations you might be using, here’s some stats… 10 computations are equivalent to:
- about 2.1 million page views using a database-driven content management system
- about 25 million requests for a static 15KB image
If you feel you have a website that is likely to exceed the above mentioned specs, please ask us about our tailor made packages.
