Overview
Our proprietary clustered hosting system allows customers to enjoy the benefits of the cPanel-based control panel while taking advantage of the robust, scalability and extremely reliability of a load-balanced hosting platform. Your web site will always load on the fastest available server, and that means if a server is down, our load-balancer will direct your traffic automatically. No more downtime due to "downed servers".
With the above comparison flowchart, you can easily see why the single server solution is no longer a viable option for web hosting.
Definition: "Single Server" - A single-server is a single server processing DNS, MAIL, MYSQL, PHP/WEB, etc. This can include shared hosting, reseller accounts, VPS, Dedicated Servers and even some colocation setups.
Why Clustered Hosting is so Great!
- Increased Server Reliability!
In the event that a server fails within our cluster, our load balancers will automatically detect the failure and send traffic, mid-connection to the fastest available server. This means even when a web server is down, your site will continue to load.
- Always fast! We mean it!
It's very common to see server loads on a single-server platform skyrocket due to a few users, whether they are abusive, getting Dugg, Slashdotted or StumbledUpon. Because of our clustered technology, we're able to distribute traffic amongst several dozen servers to handle the traffic versus just one server. We're always adding more servers too.
Example: 12 Dual Core Servers and 4GB of ram = 24 Cores and 48GB of Ram available to the cluster.
- Account Suspensions, Less likely
Most hosting companies suspend accounts for excessive use, usually following a Digg, StumbleUpon or Slashdot. That kind of defeats the purpose of hosting doesn't it? With our clustered hosting, your account will allow you to reap the benefits of receiving excess traffic spikes from promotions, plugs, etc. If your account does continue to consume more than its fair share of the environment, our sales agents will call you to discuss and work with you to upgrade to a suitable plan. Note: Malacious activitiy, exploited accounts will still be suspended in the best interest of customer service.
- Increased MySQL Performance!
MySQL requests are sent to a purpose-built MySQL server that is built with performance and redundancy in mind. The resources are 100% allocated to performing and serving queries, 24/7. On a single-server environment, this is on the same server that does the mail, php processing, slowing down response times for executing queries.
- It's still cPanel
We know customers love cPanel, which is a leading provider of web hosting automation software. We have used cPanel since the beginning and we have no plans to change it. Our cluster is integrated with cPanel, so you'll still be able to view e-mails, manage domains, view statistics, use Fantastico and our site builder as you've always have been able to.
- Scalable to beyond Dedicated Server Hosting.
We want our customers to grow, with growth comes the need for scalable solutions, access to faster processors to complete the tasks that your web site requires. This is why our cluster is so great. When you need more power, we are able to allocate more power. Our Enterprise Clustered Hosting service allows customers to upgrade seamlessly and receive what we call a "resource equivalent" of up to a Quad Core server, for much less. We can also deploy dedicated clusters for those who require it. Best of all, there is no need to move files or hire system administrators. You'll receive the same great service as you have always received. Vistapages WILL be your last web hosting company.
Straight to the point
This cluster was designed and developed taking into consideration the years of experience we have, including the problems we have faced in the past. We believe this technology is superior to most of our competitors and are very confident in the success of the service. The question is, will you continue to host your web site on a single server or move to a clustered hosting environment, the way hosting is meant to be?
