Managed Cluster Hosting for High Traffic Sites.

High availability, powerful performance, scalability and a configuration based around your needs.

Introducing our Managed Application Cluster

A hosting solution designed & built, with you in mind.

 

To serve the requirements of busy websites that host an application such as Wordpress or Magento we have designed our Managed Application Cluster.

Traditionally a busy website would be hosted on its own server which can have RAM or CPU's added at peak times (vertical scaling). While this is also possible on our Managed Clusters, we can also add additional servers and spread the traffic between them seamlessly (horizontal scaling). All of this happens in the background allowing you to manage your website in exactly the same way as you are used to.

Powerful integrations for Magento, Drupal and many more.

Our Managed Clusters integrate tightly with the following applications allowing cache to be utilised and controlled seamlessly for superior performance: Wordpress, Magento, Joomla, Prestashop, Opencart, Drupal, XenForo, MediaWiki and CS.Cart.

Features & Options

Cluster Load Balancer

Load Balancer

This component receives all traffic and distributes it to web servers. If any web servers are offline or busy, the traffic gets passed to an available server in the cluster.

Cluster Web Servers

Web Servers

The cluster contains as many web servers as required to handle serving the web pages to visitors. During seasonal peaks it is easy to add servers to the cluster.

Cluster Database Server

Database Server

A central database server (or multiple replicated servers) is used by web servers to connect to making sure all contact across the cluster remains in sync.

Cluster Performance

Performance

Utilising Litespeed load balancers and web servers the speed of hosted websites is the fastest it can be, exceeding any other web server software based on third party tests.

Cluster Caching

Caching

Popular applications such as Wordpress and Magento can utilise caching built into Litespeed to serve repeated content without having to generate it for each page view.

Cluster Redundancy

Redundancy

As all components of the cluster can be replicated in a high availability environment parts can be taken offline (eg maintenance) without causing any downtime to website visitors.

Due to the bespoke nature of our Managed Clusters we can examine all requirements before putting together a custom solution with future-proofing built in. For this reason, we do not have preset packages or pricing but some typical configurations are shown below:
