What are the benefits of hosting in the cloud over traditional shared hosting?
Complete control and flexibility along with the option of dynamic scaling. Cloud hosting fills the huge performance gap between entry-level shared hosting, and expensive dedicated hosting. With cloud hosting you are given a dedicated part of a server, and a fresh install of Linux with full root access. That means we are able to install any services, packages, or scripts we desire. Also, we are able to scale dynamically. What that means is, if you happen to get a huge spike in traffic such as a Digg, with a quick restart, we can adjust and upgrade your solution, and have you back up and running at full speed in minutes.
