Technical Specs
This is where SiteCloud shines.
- Most web hosts assign each client to a specific shared web server. When any client site on a specific server gets popular, it slows down all the other sites on that server and the web hosts generally ends up disabling the “offending” site — the one that got too popular — because it uses, says, more than 10% of the CPU.
- SiteCloud’s infrastructure, on contrary, is load balanced and pooled together to ensure that any client site can be served off any server in the server farm. This ensures there are always resources available to serve your web site fast and consistently despite the load being put on the system, either by your own or by someone else’s popular site.
The platform is proprietary to SiteCloud and is unique on the market.
- Linux Based Platform (It does not matter if you’re running Windows or Mac OS X on your own computer)
- Latest Stable Version of MySQL 5
- Latest Stable Version of PHP 5
