Features

Cloud hosting is a new type of hosting technology that brings website scalability to everyone. Classic shared hosting involved placing your website on a server at a hosting company that used that same server for many more customers. If your website, business, or blog outgrew the resources on that server, either you paid for a very powerful dedicated server or paid a network administrator to build a server cluster to handle the increasing load.

With cloud hosting, your website is hosted seamlessly in "the cloud", and powered by a large cluster of services that grows (scales) based on demand, but you never have to worry about scaling, redundancy or load balancing. We manage all the "techie" aspects of the website scaling experience. The only thing you have to worry about is your own website design/code and how to bring in more visitors!

Scale My Site Cloud Hosting is powered by Rackspace equipment on a cluster of hundreds of servers located in their world-class, Tier-1 data centers that have a zero-downtime network policy and rapid hardware replacement program. These data centers are physically located in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, and backed by Rackspace's cloud service.

Cloud hosting offers the newest in automatically scaling technology, but you should make sure it will work with your application.
