overview

Outgrowing A Single Sever? Distribute

Eventually any successful website will outgrow the capacity of a single dedicated server, instead of simply migrating the website to a more powerful server, we distribute the website across several servers. This not only provides a more than threefold increase in capacity and performance, but more importantly, our task distributed server cluster is specifically configured to allow for future growth, simply by adding additional servers. Best of all, the entire migration process is transparent, so you still continue to manage your website as if it was running off of a single server.

Benefits Of Specialization

An all-purpose server that is serving web traffic, executing code, and running databases can't maximize system resources to their fullest potential because processing power is lost when the server switches between performing different tasks. In our task distributed server cluster each individual server is specialized and configured to perform only a single task. As a result we are able to more efficiently allocate system resources and also streamline the server's configuration to increase the server's performance.

Three servers—One point of management

Our goal was to make a complex solution, simple. We developed a multi-server cluster where customers interact with their website as if it was on a single server, not realizing that everything is actually running on multiple machines.

Performance Advantages

Wish there was another lane when you're stuck in traffic? So do your website visitors when dealing with slow load times. A task distributed-cluster is the equivalent of replacing an overcrowded city street with a multilane highway—and fast load times make for happy visitors.

Moving From One Server To Three

No one thinks moving is fun. Thats why our tech support takes care of the entire migration process for you. We'll deploy your website into our multi-server cluster, keep you updated with a viewable online migration check list, and best of all when everything is complete you get to manage everything from a single point, never actually interacting with more than one server.

Always Intelligent™ Support—Always Free

All-inclusive. Our support services cover everything involved in managing your server, from software installation, to troubleshooting, performance optimization, even layout and planning for growth. The only thing better is knowing that there'll be no surprises at the end of the month when you get your bill.

Automatic Backups

Backups the way they should be, behind the scenes and automated. No configuration, no clicking, just daily, weekly, and monthly copies of all of your files and databases.

Instant Live Support

We don't put you on hold. We're here day and night. Yes, even 3AM, our team is wide awake, watching your servers, secretly hoping someone would message us (the datacenter gets lonely at night).

URL Content Monitoring

The simplest method of testing whether or not your site is working is pulling it up in a browser. If you can do it to check your site is working, why can't your webhost?
