Cloud Sites Hosting
It's shared hosting on steroids!
Has traditional shared hosting let you down? Stress no more, welcome to the world of the cloud
If you could benefit from increased uptime, on-demand access to system resources and 24/7 support from real engineers then read on....
As a direct replacement for the shared platform that a lot of customers start out on we think that Cloud Sites from Rackspace is the perfect replacement.
Here at Speedchilli we are able to offer you access to the cloud services run by Rackspace for a fraction of the cost you would pay them directly. The minimum cost per month when hosting direct with Rackspace on the Cloud Sites platform is approx £60 (depending on the exchange rate) but with us it is as low as £5. We have been providing our customers access to the Rackspace Cloud (previously known as Mosso) as an alternative to shared hosting for over 2 years so we know how well the platform works.
It's easy to get started;
- Order your plan.
- Once activated upload your site to the cloud and your site will start to be served with from the Cloud taking advantage of the automatic load balancing, redundant storage and clustering technologies.
- Now you can worry about your business rather than your site.
