FREE Dynamic Website with Unlimited Hosting

The Benefits of Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting is an alternative to dedicated server hosting.

It uses virtualisation technologies designed to maximise availability.

What are the Benefits of Cloud Hosting?

The server on which your website is hosted by Wynchcote is virtualised.

This offers a number of huge benefits, including:

1) the ability to offer customers unlimited web space and unlimited monthly transfer (or bandwidth) allowances with our Unlimited Hosting Plans;

2) the ability to offer ALL customers, whichever hosting plan they choose, an impressive 99.99% uptime.

How is the Cloud so reliable?

All Wynchcote hosting plans are managed through a Hosting Plan Control Panel, through which customers can manage every facet of their hosting plan, including the creation of email accounts.

Wynchcote servers utilise the latest virtualisation software to abstract your hosting services from the hardware they sit on.

The storage is centralised in a highly available Storage Area Network (SAN). This makes the network much faster and means you no longer have to rely on a physical machine or hardware!

A Cloud hosting cluster controller watches all controlled services 24/7.

If the controller detects a failure of any critical hardware then it will automatically move the hosting onto spare hardware.

This will not be noticed by users of your website if and when it occurs. The failed hardware will then be replaced by our engineers with no impact to your web hosting services, including your email.

This is how we can guarantee 99.99% uptime.

The Cloud is Super Efficient!

Traditional web hosting servers are under-used. Typically, about 75% of server hardware is operated at less than 25% of its maximum capacity. This is a waste of expensive resources which customers would otherwise have to pay for!

Through the pooling of both backend storage and frontend servers, hardware costs can be significantly reduced. And of course the cost savings can be shared with our customers!

The Cloud hosting platform allows for full load balancing, off-site backup space, instant SAN disk backups and statefull failover. These services would just not be possible with a traditional physical server setup.
