The hype of the hosting world. The new kid on the block. And the hardest to describe. If we were to describe it, [ layman or technical terms alike ], would take hours or 100's of text pages, literally. Why? Well, because is the most intricate [ it's intricacy being also its most misused virtue ] and also the most misunderstood hosting environment, whose initial noblest scope was long ago left behind, and now is used more as a marketing "show of" by too many providers and "adopted" for all the wrong reasons by [ also so many ] users.
So, what it is really Cloud Web Hosting? That depends on who you are. For a hosting provider a suitable platform to better mix, match and manage its infrastructure components and features. If you are an end user, one way to look at it would be a well defined 'hybrid' hosting environment. We mean it. A mix between the Shared and VPS hosting [ behind which the best hosting world knowledge hides ] it serves a clearly defined purpose. And on the right hand it serves it very well.
Oh, yes, of course, let's not forget. The purpose: On-demand delivery of scaleable IT resources whenever and wherever needed, to create a level playing field for all. The small guys and their bigger siblings alike. - Please note that this is an extremely simplistic, in layman terms and as close as possible nontechnical description, of this type of hosting environment.
N * vCore CPUs
A modern server motherboard has 4 CPU 'sockets' [ slots ] . That means they are equipped with 4 server grade CPUs [ processors ]. Each of these processors is made of several [ 8 to 28 ] 'mini' CPUs referred to as 'cores' or 'virtual' CPUs. So, an entry level server will have 32 'logical' or 'virtual' CPUs. Each VPS instance, will be allocated a preset number of 'virtual' CPUs.
N * GB Traffic Allowance
The amount of monthly data 'download' allowance. A page view or an email sent counts towards your data 'download' allowance.
N * GB ECC RAM
As with the CPUs a server motherboard will have several [ 2 to 24 ] memory 'sockets' [ slots ]. Each memory module is 32 GB in size. So, again, an entry level server will have at minimum 64 GB of memory. Each VPS instance, will be allocated a preset percentage of that memory.
N * GB CEPH configured NAS [ 'hard disk' ]
The capacity of your Cloud 'virtual' CEPH configured NAS. For you as an end user this means a reliable alternative of a storage medium. In an as much as possible nontechnical terms, it means that your 'virtual' hard disk is part of a big [ huge ] array of unified storage capacity [ many physical hard disks ] linked together [ CEPH ] and connected to a network. Hence NAS 'Network Attached Storage'. CEPH in itself is a software program used to scale, unify and manage a wide array of physical hard disks. The name CEPH, is just a 'label'. The name of that software.
N * IPv4 & IPv6 / * N Subnet
The amount of IP addresses allocated to your VPS instance. You get 1 x IPv4 [ the old type, IP address ] and 1 x IPv6 [ the modern type of an IP address ] /64 Subnet. A 'subnet' is a set of IPs. A /64 subnet has more, a load more than 64 IP addresses.
Note: Although we do not impose nor recommend the number of domains, databases, email addresses, and so on, that you may have in your hosting account, you should be aware that the limit would be dictated by the size of content you intend to store and that of the data allowance your hosting plan has.
Operating System
CentOS 7 | One of the most used and reliable 'linux' server OS. As Windows there are many out there available, but unlike Windows they are developed by different software companies and therefore, the cost and purpose vary accordingly. CentOS 7 is one of them.
Software Stack
A minimum set of software packages installed on a server or hosting plan to allow seamless functionality of your online presence. LAMP [ Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP ] and/or LEMP [ Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP ] are the most prevalent ones. For VPS, Cloud and Dedicated servers different 'software stacks' are available if required.
BackUp & Storage
Although all our Public Cloud Web Hosting plans content is triplicated across several hard disks, we also backup & store your Public Cloud Web Hosting plan content daily, on separate storage media, with up to 3 days in areas retention. Just in case.
Server Security
In addition to the free TLS | SSL Certificate offered to protect your communication, we install as standard in all VPS Web Hosting accounts a software firewall and, an 'optional' [ licence based ] antivirus package to protect your content against malicious attacks.
Note: Although we do not impose what type of software you may upload and use on our servers, any such upload would be checked for suitability and security.
Generically speaking, if you do not break any law, there should be none. However, on moral grounds [ at least ], you should not, and may not use our hosting infrastructure to promote hatred, bullying, discrimination [ on any ground ] post messages [ or allow others to post ], that can be construed as calls to acts of rebellion or terrorism, or post and promote any content or conduit pertaining to pornography [ of any kind ]. None of those would be allowed nor tolerated. Should that be the case, your site and content would be deleted, it's content submitted to any law enforcement agency if required, and your account terminated. No exceptions whatsoever.
