As we usher in the New Year this week, I’d like to officially introduce our new SUREclient Cloud Hosting Platforms:

Simple Cloud Website Platform

This is the perfect starter plan for small to moderate websites with moderate web traffic such as informational sites, blogs etc, our original shared hosting plan has been significantly upgraded with more resources and hosted in a highly available shared environment.

This plan includes 1 FREE domain name registration. Additional domain names can be registered for just $10 per year.

Semi-Dedicated Cloud Platform

For sites that need some extra horsepower and additional features, the Semi-Dedicated Cloud Platform features not only more disk space, but also higher prioritization of system processes. In addition to 1 FREE domain name registration, this plan also includes 1 GeoTrust QuickSSL certificate (an $80 value).

Dedicated Cloud Platform

Experience the ultimate flexibility with the Dedicated Cloud Platform which features your own customized server environment with full root access, while still having our Dashboard control panel for easy administration.

This plan is ideal for large websites and busy e-commerce stores with multiple storefronts, and includes both 1 FREE domain name registration, and 1 GeoTrust Premium QuickSSL certificate (a $100 value).

All of our hosting plans are powered by the SUREclient Cloud featuring high-availability redundancy. Both our Dedicated and Semi-Dedicated platforms are also optimized for demanding applications such as Magento Commerce.

One of the fundamental goals of the Open Source Magento E-Commerce application is its ability to scale with your business as you grow. This is also one of the underlying driving forces behind SUREclient — delivering a reliable, scalable hosting solution for your business — one that you don’t ever have to worry about outgrowing.

Taking Off the Wraps

Never fear, we’re anything but newcomers to the field of Magento hosting. In fact we’ve been quietly hosting a growing number of successful Magento sites for several months. Since the general release of Magento back in the Spring of this year, we have been actively working with our hosting clients and developers to maximize hosting performance for this popular e-commerce application.

The time has finally come, and we now have all of the critical pieces in place to formally offer these solutions in our hosting cloud to businesses like yours who are looking for the quality of service that we deliver. We’re now absolutely confident that you’ll find SUREclient Cloud Platforms to be the perfect match for Magento — with competitive pricing that won’t burst your budget!

Magento-Optimized Environment

The SUREclient Cloud boasts fast processors, high-performance SAN-based RAID1+0 15krpm disk storage, dedicated high-performance MySQL server, and highly-available redundant hardware components. Data connectivity consists of high-bandwidth peering with most of the major data providers.

Our cloud platforms consistently outperform dedicated hardware servers and other limiting hosting environments in both performance and reliability. Learn more about the SUREclient Infrastructure to see for yourself.

Free Magento Installation & Migration

To get you up and running in the SUREclient Cloud just as fast as possible, we offer Magento pre-installed on your hosting platform at no cost. Simply select the ‘Magento E-Commerce Application pre-installed’ add-on when purchasing your hosting platform, and we’ll see to it that the latest release of Magento is installed on your platform.

Not anymore! The technical answers to that question can be found in the SUREclient Cloud where you’ll find the finest array server-grade equipment and advanced technologies delivering our world-class hosting services:

• Robust Server Technology
• Server Hardware
• Server Virtualization
• Storage Hardware
• High-Availability Optimization
• Fully-Equipped Data Center

Robust Server Technology

Unlike many of our competitors who rely on large numbers of low-end consumer grade computers, all of our servers are server-grade rack-mounted equipment operated in a secure enterprise-class data center environment. We spare no expense when it comes to selecting and deploying the very best server and networking equipment.

SUREclient efficiently distributes services and customer platforms across a cluster of physical hardware servers forming the SUREclient Cloud. Each cluster is made up of at least five hardware servers.

Our systems technicians work closely with HP, VMware, and other system vendors to assure that our server infrastructure is always operating in optimal condition.

Server Hardware

While our server hardware arrays are regularly upgraded and expanded, our equipment operates with the following minimum specifications:

• Server-grade HP Proliant rackmount servers
• AMD 2.4GHz Opteron 280 processors or better
• Each physical server runs a minimum of 4 processor cores per server
• Fully-burstable 100Mbit Fast Ethernet connections to internal and external networks
• Flexible isolated VLAN internal network configuration with virtual firewalls available between VLANs and/or the Internet.
• Dual power supplies with dual redundant UPS backup power

Server Virtualization

Built on the industry-leading VMware ESX server virtualization platform, the SUREclient Cloud effectively deployes hosting platforms across a cluster of physical servers. By dividing functions into individual components, virtualization technology completely isolates each of the components from each other.

The isolation not only significantly increases security but also guarantees a minimum block of resources for each service component. By constantly monitoring and evaluating all services running on the system, the SUREclient Cloud is able to utilize spare unallocated resources where and when they are needed most.

Our VMware server cloud also features VMotion – a powerful leading-edge technology that constantly monitors the load conditions on each server cluster, and can instantly move a service from one physical server to another server — where more resources are available — without any interruption or downtime whatsoever.

As load increases on the system over time, we can easily build out specific components, adding hardware, redundant virtual services, or data storage — whatever is needed. We are not held back by limitations in any one area.

Growth and scalability is what SUREclient Cloud hosting is all about.

Storage Hardware

SUREclient high performance storage is provided by SAN storage units utilizing redundant hardware throughout with high-performance RAID 1+0 mirrored data striping. All of our servers are connected via Fiber Channel to high performance redundant SAN storage arrays that are capable of easily handling thousands of I/Os per second for each individual service.

• Dual-redundant fiber channel controllers and switches
• Dual-redundant SAN controllers
• SAN disk shelves containing 15k RPM SCSI disks with RAID 1+0 data striping each containing 20+ spindles per array.

There is simply no comparison between the level of performance this storage environment delivers and the low-end consumer grade storage equipment used by most web hosting providers. In fact, never before has this level of high-performance storage been available at such extremely competitive pricing!

High-Availability Optimization

In addition to handling the most efficient use of hosting resources, the SUREclient Cloud provides unmatched high-availability and reliability. If a hardware server were to fail for some unexpected reason, the affected services would immediately and automatically be moved to another server in the cluster where they would continue operating seamlessly without any down-time at all.

Benchmark performance testing has shown that SUREclient Cloud platforms consistently outperforms not only other traditional shared hosting solutions, but also dedicated hardware servers — even servers specifically tuned and optimized for the service under test.

By eliminating individual points of failure within the hardware architecture, we can deliver true high-availability to assure your website will experience maximum uptime and performance.

Fully-Equipped Data Center

Behind the scenes at SUREclient, our state-of-the-art data center provides high performance Internet connectivity, redundant power with multiple feeds and backup generators, and tertiary fire suppression systems. It also boasts multi-level physical security including restricted access areas, 24×7 security guards, alarms, motion detectors and video surveillance. The data center ensures that each SUREclient component is connected with a low latency, fully-meshed, redundant network at all times.

Growth and scalability are the cornerstone principles driving SUREclient. Host your website with confidence… choose SUREclient!

Reason #2: “You Get What You Pay For”

While the old adage may sound trite, it has never been more true than when it comes to web hosting providers.

Unlike the abundant array of value hosts out there who are promising ever-increasing unbelievable amounts of resources at very little cost, SUREclient hosting platforms are carefully crafted to guarantee reasonable levels of service that we can absolutely deliver — day in and day out.

As any IT professionally would readily tell you — all bandwidth traffic and storage capacity costs real money. You can be assured that providers claiming these unrealistic “unlimited” offers won’t hesitate to pull out and use policies buried in their service agreements to suspend your accounts once your website crosses the threshold where they are no longer making acceptable profits.

The unfortunate irony is that when your site is suspended or shut down, it occurs most often at the most inopportune times — when your website is at its busiest, and you’re relying on your online presence the most for profitability.

We understand that success can come unexpectedly. All of our plans come with “soft caps” which won’t suddenly shut off your website when you exceed a certain level. While reasonable charges apply when exceeding your hosting plan’s resources, we’ll work with you to keep you going as your business grows and picks up.

Expecting a larger-than-normal surge of traffic to your site? Contact us ahead of time, and we’ll work with you to make sure you’re on the hosting plan that’s best suited to meeting your needs and makes the most business sense for you.

Reason #3: We Love What We Do

We take great pride in developing and delivering a world-class hosting service. Countless weeks and months have been spent researching and experimenting both new and old technologies — building SUREclient into what it is today.

Benefit from the years of experience that we have put into making our service available to you. Get started hosting with SUREclient today! Contact our team at 1-888-371-SURE.
