Scale My Site - How Does It Work?

Cloud hosting with Scale My Site is a new form of website hosting.

Many website hosting providers will proclaim "unlimited" this or "free" that. What usually ends up happening is that your website is added to a single server at the website data center with hundreds of other websites. More websites will continue to be added to this one server, until the load on the server can't take any more. This is fine for a short time, until one of the websites on that server suddenly get featured on a news outlet somewhere, and then that entire server with all the hundreds of websites will start to succumb to the abnormal amount of traffic and visitors.

Website hosting with Scale My Site is different.

Our platform instantly splits requests for your website across a large server cluster. This means that instead of one server, your website is instantly shared across many, many web servers. As traffic in this cluster increases, we can automatically add more nodes to the system, thereby providing a fully scalable platform for your website or web application.

If you wanted to setup your own infrastructure to handle these types of situations, you could easily spend $1000s per month just to get started. You would need your own load balancers, webservers, database servers, sufficient bandwidth, and networking equipment to tie it all together. With Scale My Site, all you need to get started is $10... and then you only pay for what you use! If you start off slowly, you only pay the minimum required. If you suddenly get listed on Slashdot, Digg, CNN, or elsewhere, your website will be able to handle the influx of traffic until the traffic dies down, and then you won't keep paying for equipment you're not using.
