GlowHost Launches Cloud Hosting Solutions for SMBs

New solutions offer several key benefits over traditional dedicated servers.

GlowHost.com, Inc., a web hosting solution provider, recently launched a line of cloud hosting services designed to deliver a next-generation hosting platform for small to medium sized businesses. Cloud hosting service starts at USD 75/month for full management and an array of features.

The company articulates that its cloud hosting solutions, branded as Cloud VDS, offer several key benefits over traditional dedicated servers. Namely, cloud hosting provides greater redundancy and reliability than a dedicated server, because computing resources are distributed across a wide array of hardware devices, instead of one physical machine. Additionally, since server resources are utilized more efficiently, the company can deliver the service at a much lower cost than a comparable dedicated server solution.

It states that unlike other providers who offer generic cloud hosting solutions without disclosing technical details, the company is clear in its specifications. All Cloud VDS plans include specific CPU, RAM, and data storage resource allotments, with instant scalability available in the event of usage spikes. Data is protected by redundancy on multiple Storage Area Networks (SANs), and servers receive power from two completely independent electric grid sources. Customers can also completely customize their cloud hosting solution, including selecting from more than 30 different operating systems, and cloud customers enjoy rebootless kernel updates ensuring even higher website availability.

"Our new Cloud VDS uses virtualization technology with a long track record of stability, security, and reliability. In fact, it powers more than half of the world's public clouds in service today. Not only can we provide greater computing capacity at a lower cost, but we can offer our customers a substantially greater level of control and scalability. Our prices and features can beat every one of our major competitors, and we are poised to remain a market leader in this emerging sector," said Matt Lundstrom, GlowHost President. "It's time to move away from older generations of hosting technology, because the business case for those technologies has vanished."
