subject: SiteCloud's revolutionary cloud infrastructure helps businesses succeed online [print this page] Many hosting companies promise the world in terms of space, bandwidth, the amount of e-mail accounts and databases you can create, but what about the underlying hardware of it all? What happens when a customer gets mentioned on CNN or on Digg? What happens?
These days it doesn't take much to start a web hosting company. All you need is a bit of technical skill, a server and cPanel. You're now a web hosting company owner. A customer trying to purchase service does not know what goes into the back end to ensure the best possible service.
Traditionally, web hosting providers such as JustHost, BlueHost, Lunarpages, iPage and others use "single-server" and install cPanel. Firstly, a single server has physical limitations and when those limitations are reached, you get slowed down service or a server crash, causing your web site to be unavailable. Secondly, you have all of your services (web, mail, databases) all on one server, this only adds to the physical limitation problem. Thirdly, you are sharing the single server amongst hundreds of other users. If one of the other customers causes an issue, you're affected. If you're that customer causing a problem, you're suspended.
It's not uncommon to go to Digg, visit a mentioned site and be greeted with "Web Site Suspended" or "Web site Unavailable". This is due to the fact that the web hosting provider is unable to cope with the influx of traffic. The client who owns that site who has worked really hard on achieving this great feat has it ruined by a suspended page instead. Defeats the whole purpose of trying to build up a site right?
That's where SiteCloud is so different and actually helps its clients achieve success. SiteCloud has developed a revolutionary proprietary load balanced cloud hosting platform that features cPanel. Their infrastructure automatically balances load across many different servers. All of the services are distributed and are not on a single server. As far as the customers are concerned, they are still shared on the same platform, but because of the distribution of load, you can get listed on Digg and your site will continue to load consistently fast without interrupting service to other clients on the platform. Instead of being suspended, SiteCloud encourages growth and helps customers succeed online.
