NOT ALL SERVER ENVIRONMENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL!
There
is truly no point to having a great website if it doesn't perform well.
We've had a decade of experience in the industry, and have worked with
many different server configurations. When you trust our hosted CMS
with your web development project, you can be sure your site sits on
the best servers in the industry. Here's why.
CLUSTERED SERVERS
Since
your sites will sit on a clustered server environment, they will have
the scalability to meet your clients' demand for server resources.
Clustered servers are the premier hosting solution, because they offer
your sites virtually unlimited resources instantly, with extremely high
levels of server support and maintenance at a very low price. Ever
wonder how Google and other huge national websites can meet their
traffic demands? Clustered servers are the answer.
INDUSTRY LEADER IN SERVER ENVIRONMENTS
Not
only do our sites sit on a clustered server environment, but they are
hosted by the most respected server company in the world, Rackspace.
All our sites are hosted in Texas.
WORLD CLASS RELIABILITY
Databases
are backed up automatically every 24 hours, and web content is backed
up hourly. And Rackspace guarantees their servers to be 99.99%
reliable. It's your business on the line, so only trust the very best!
SIMPLE ECONOMICS
Since
our software is a fully hosted solution, you are getting hosting and
use of a top notch Content Management System (CMS) software for one low
cost. With our simple proprietary CMS software, you get hosting and the
use of our CMS for just $25 per month for up to 20,000 page loads (not
including your own admin page loads). If a site is wildly successful
and needs more page loads, we charge only an additional $20 per 10,000
page loads per site on a month by month basis. With us, there is never
a hosting contract, and there are no expensive overage charges. You
only pay for what your sites use.
If you require a module which
needs to be routed to an external server, such as a custom Flash video
player, or a module which accommodates large file uploads (over 20 mb),
additional server charges will apply.
USING A CMS ON CLUSTERED SERVERS VS. DEDICATED OR SHARED SERVERS
By
nature, a CMS is database intensive and demands wide ranges of CPU and
memory resources. We've tested our CMS on many different server
environments, including dedicated, virtual private, shared and
clustered servers. We found that using a CMS on shared hosting
environments was not practical, since the hosting company will limit
your usage of the database and server resources. In fact, we were
kicked out twice by shared hosting companies due to excessive demands
on the servers.
While using a CMS on a
Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a dedicated server may work, we were
only able to serve a limited number of visitors due to the fact that
those server environments typically have web content and the database
sitting on the same hardware. For this reason, we've found that using a
clustered server environment is a far better option, since all the
system resources are distributed among hundreds of servers.
Clustered servers also provide an additional level of protection during denial of service attacks, since the affected hardware can be isolated and removed from the grid.
