Cloud Hosting

Cloud VPS hosting is the latest hosting service. Its predecessor, VPS hosting, is still popular; however some of the technological aspects may make it obsolete in comparison. VPS, also known as Virtual Private Server, is a virtual server that is dedicated to one customer This means there can be several customers on Virtual private servers in the same physical server hardware infrastructure. If there is more than one user of the server, the service is automatically managed by the hosting company. Cloud technologies have brought some confusion to the hosting market as the need for numerous physical servers have been eliminated. The VPS consists of some smaller server parts - nodes - which are kept in different physical servers. Each nod is like a little server with its own RAM, CPU and disk space. All the nodes are connected using advanced technological solutions turning the VPS to one powerful entity.Cloud VPS has two main advantages:

• The additional features can be added without turning the server off completely, therefore the online project has 99.9% uptime. This also means that Cloud VPS can be used for powerful and large scale projects.

• In case of server issues, there is no danger that data will disappear, or the website will not work properly, as all the resources are immediately allocated to other nodes and the website will continue to work as usual. Increased security solutions allow hosting of time and money sensitive projects which should be running 24/7.

Cloud VPS hosting is provided on an international level as some services may require physical servers which are located not only different datacenters, but in different countries. International hosting companies such as Host1Plus can provide a wide range of hosting services. For a quote on services, please contact our support team.

Cutting Edge Technology

The newest technological advancements in data synchronization and resource allocation have created a new form of data storage and broadcasting. In other words, every node of a particular hosting plan is considered to be a just a piece of a much larger cloud system. The “cloud” consists of partial information that is located on different physical servers in order to prevent misbalance and dissemination. This way, the data is safe from outside influence. Cloud hosting is unique. It has unlimited storage capacity and resources can be expanded without ever turning it off. That means no downtime and no physical interference by the co-location center staff. The service is managed remotely using specific software, managing the cloud hosting plans and updating their features. Host1Plus uses own cloud solution for this purpose, therefore all the server management actions can be done quickly and efficiently as there is no need to outsource the system administrators.

• Cloud hosting is a cutting edge technology which allows the hosting of not only large websites and online tools, but also internal projects for international companies and businesses that rely on remote employees.

• Cloud hosting is also associated with SaaS (Software as a Service) technology, which allows specific software to be used online rather than installed to the hundreds of employee computers. For example, there is no need to use Microsoft Word because there is an online solution. While word processing is complicated software, accounting and project management software have been developed more for online usage than local.

Host1Plus can offer specific solutions which can save thousands of dollars per year.
