What is Cloud Hosting?

The cloud is a redundant network of servers and other hardware resources that work together to provide dependable, scalable resources for hosting applications and services such as websites, email, and databases. The ability to scale available resources is made available within seconds rather than hours or days, as is the case with traditional hosting. All services are fully managed by Server Intellect on redundant hardware, so you can focus on your core competencies while receiving a superior return on their investment in IT resources.

How does it help me?

Compared to traditional single server shared hosting environments, the cloud offers instant scalability and automatic redundancy at an unbeatable price. We can summarize the key benefits of the cloud as RSVP:

Redundancy The cloud infrastructure automatically protects the hosted services from failed servers affecting the available resources, a key feature previously unavailable in shared hosting		Value Allow Server Intellect’s team of Microsoft Gold Certified technical experts to fully maintain the hardware and manage your Public Cloud Hosted Services. Save yourself time and money.
Scalability Need to boost your RAM or increase your website’s bandwidth to accommodate increasing traffic loads? Server Intellect’s Public Cloud provides the flexibility to scale your website to meet demand within seconds.		Performance Our highly scalable and redundant Public Cloud eliminates the hassles of wasted resources and inconvenient downtimes while maximizing your website’s availability and response.

What is the uptime?

We offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee with all of our Public Cloud Solutions.

In what ways does it scale?

On the cloud, you can quickly adjust almost every aspect of your package to fit your needs. You can add more RAM, bandwidth, or load balancing upgrades to handle your resource intensive applications and increased traffic load. You can also increase your website and database storage to hold rising amounts of user content.

How does the cloud compare to dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers and traditional shared hosting environments provide the user with a non-redundant hardware hosting solution containing single points of failure. If your server goes down without redundant hardware, your website is down until the problems are identified and solved. This downtime can cost you a significant amount of money and problems. The Public Cloud recognizes potential problems quickly and automatically provides redundant hardware resources for your services.

What is a public cloud?

A Public Cloud is a networked environment where hardware services are intelligently managed via a role based OS protocol with inherent load balancing and demand allocation. It provides a set of resources that all of our Server Intellect customers can pull from to use on-demand.

What is a private cloud?

Unlike the Public Cloud, Server Intellect’s Private Cloud provides full administrative privileges and remote desktop access equivalent to dedicated servers while still offering the scalability and redundancy similar to that of the Public Cloud.

How does billing work in the cloud?

We charge a flat monthly rate depending on the services and amount of resources that you select from our cloud services. We also offer the ability to quickly scale both the processing power and RAM as you need it.

Is my data safe in the cloud?

All customer data is stored in its own specific and non-shared application pool with all industry standard security protection protocols and resources, including: software and/or hardware firewalls, state of the art virus/intrusion protection and access control lists.

In addition, the Public Cloud offers inherent redundancy to ensure that your files are not lost in the event of a hardware failure.
