PHP5 and Windows 2008 Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting uses clusters of servers to deliver a stable and reliable platform capable of handling sudden visitor and increases in demand.
Instead of buying a fixed, capped amount of space and bandwidth on a physical server, cloud hosting clients are purchasing a monthly allowance on a cluster of servers at a fixed price with any overage charged at the end of their current billing period.

If you're thinking this similar to the way your mobile phone works, you'd be spot on.

Host Windows 2008 and Linux files on a single site

With SiteHQ cloud hosting, site developers are no longer constrained by the choice of operating system, our Cloud platform allows you to use Windows and Linux technologies side by side.

(See below for more details of support technologies)

A viable alternative to a dedicated server

With ultra-low charges for additional bandwidth and disk space and a robust network infrastructure, Cloud Hosting is ideal for sites which are outgrowing shared hosting but do not need, or maybe do not generate the revenue to support, a fully dedicated server.

Custom packages also available

We've designed out standard hosting packages to suit the needs of a wide range of site owners but we're also very pleased to offer custom packages tailored to your needs.

If you're looking for a bespoke hosting solution please contact us with as much detail possible about your site and we'll be happy to provide a quote.

Extra resource charges

Because it's designed to scale with your site's use, our cloud hosting service won't suspend your site if it exceeds the resouce quotas in your monthly plan. Any additional usage will be charged at the following rates:
  • Bandwidth 1GB £0.50
  • Disk space 1GB £1.00
  • Computing cycles Each £0.05
  • MS SQL Databases 50MB £5.00
Quoted prices are monthly and will be applied to your next month's invoice. MS SQL Databases are an optional extra and are not included in plans as standard.

What are Computing Cycles?

Traditional shared hosting packages normally limit the amount of server resources (memory, processing power) any site can use.

Because it's designed to 'scale up' with your site's popularity, Cloud hosting doesn't limit the use of these resources which we refer to as 'Computing Cycles'.

Our packages include an allocation of these 'Cycles' designed to fit the needs of most sites and, because we believe in openness and transparency, we list these in your package allowances.
