Cloud Servers

[ppentertainments]

I am starting to make initial enquiries and research into getting a cloud server instead of having each of my websites hosted individually.

Anyone have any experience and can point out the pros and cons, and have any recommendations of who to go with ? One thing I have no experience about is the control panel used for a server, so again any pointers are welcome.

I will point out I am rubbish with computers and have little interest in learning so may be better to stick with hosting, however I have recently found the benefits of wordpress and have a few domain names sitting doing nothing hence why the interest in a server.

I use TSO hosts. I am no expert but came recommended from several sources.
Miles better than the expensive, but reasonably crap service I had before.

I second that. Have been with them for a few years. Plus they have been acquiring quite a few other reasonably sized hosting providers, so they're not going anywhere by the looks of things!

Great value for money, rock solid hosting that hasn't caused me any issues, and great support.

Can't ask for any more!

Do you have a cloud server or just have sites individually hosted ?

I think what you mean Chris isn't Cloud as such. What I reckon you're talking about is a server you hire which can host multiple sites. You look after them all from one place - a fancy control panel thingy.

Replacing several hosting companies with just one makes sense. Keeping them all on the same server looked after by the same account control panel probably isn't that bad an idea either. One bill. One login to administer them all.

Go with their reseller account - great price and will do everything you need it to do.

If we wanted to be pedantic, all web hosting is "cloud" - and has been since before the term cloud appeared!

That's exactly what I was thinking. If it's on the internet, it's in the "cloud".

I have all my sites hosted in one place with GoDaddy and they're my domain registrar, too, so everything is nice and easy. The Control Panel is dead simple and offers one-click-installation apps to make things even easier.
