eUKhost announced earlier today that it will now be offering a new private cloud hosting service.  As may of you will recall the latest update from eUKhost; “Installatron” auto-installer script installer plugin for shared and reseller hosting customers.

The new service is based on a dedicated cluster of web servers deployed in a VMware cloud structure. The eUKhost’s private cloud hosting is nothing more than a VMware cloud server.  Nothing to special. eUKhost just wants to enter into the cloud hosting world and this is their time. eUKhost clients will have the usual access to provisions, licensing, setups, monitoring and complete cluster management, ensuring that they have enhanced security measures, improved backup, better equipment and experience no downtime.

New cloud hosting customers will have access to eUKhost’s 24-hour technical support at no additional cost(as of right now).

Their new cloud servers will be VIcentre server with Windows 2008, an SAN storage server for centralized shared storage and four ESX host servers, which can be customized to each of the new cloud hosting customer’s requirements.

“We’re delighted to be able to offer our clients private cloud hosting and are looking forward to hearing customer feedback in the coming weeks and months,” says Ryan Watson, business development manager at eUKhost. “The benefits of our private cloud hosting are numerous. You will be guaranteed 100 percent uptime for instance and have dedicated disk space and monthly bandwidth for your needs. There are also a number of operating systems that can also be employed including Linux CentOS 5.x, Ubuntu 9.x and more besides.”

Please let me know if you have tried eUKhost’s cloud servers out.  I would like to know if they are as good as some of their larger cloud hosting providers servers!  Prices starting at £ 33 a month.
