Head in the Clouds

Tuesday 1st September 2009

Web Factory is thrilled to announce that, from 1st September 2009, it will begin to host all its clients’ websites on the Rackspace Cloud, meaning our clients will be benefiting from load balancing, clustering, redundant storage and automatically scalable websites.

Rackspace Hosting is the World's leader in hosting. Since 2001 Rackspace has been hosting and supporting mission critical websites, Internet applications, e-mail servers, security and storage services for over 6,000 customers.

Watch Your Website Scale

In the past, we had to work with our customers to anticipate increases in volumes of traffic to their website and plan upgrades to their web server to cope with increases in demand. This might be due to seasonal increases, such as Christmas, or new marketing campaigns going live.

The Rackspace Cloud is a highly scalable web platform that grows with your website, which means that if your website experiences an unexpected increase in demand, your website will automatically and seamlessly scale to support the increased number of visitors. The end result is a website that’s always available, always responsive and never slow.

From the first byte served, our websites are hosted on advanced clustered technology designed for high-traffic, high-performance websites. When your site grows bigger than what's included, you pay inexpensive scale pricing for exactly what you use and nothing more.

Other Rackspace Clients

At Web Factory, we believe who your customers are speaks volumes about the quality and reliability of a business. That’s why we were keen to learn about some of Rackspace’s other clients, which includes:
