Windows Cloud Hosting Packages
Our Windows 2008 cloud hosting uses clusters of servers to deliver a stable, reliable and easily scaled platform capable of handling sudden visitor and increases in demand, ideal for growing and popular sites.Because we know flexibility and affordability are vital for your business, our packages don't rely on inflexible capped space and bandwidth limits. Instead, clients purchase 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.

A viable alternative to a dedicated server
With ultra-low charges for additional bandwidth and disk space and a robust network infrastructure, our cloud-based Windows 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.

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

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.
