SiteGround has been pre-selecting a cloud server company for a long time now awaiting the day to switch to a cloud hosting provider.  Today the company’s chose The Planet Server Cloud as the new standard for its cloud offering.  According to SiteGround, The Planet Server Cloud uses the best cloud hosting virtualization technology on the market to deliver a service with outstanding reliability, redundancy and flexibility, which is suitable for business websites of all sizes.

“We were early beta participants in The Planet’s Server Cloud testing, which provided us with opportunities to offer feedback on the platform,” said Tenko Nikolov, CEO of SiteGround. “Our customers rely on us to provide them with the best options to support their businesses, so we’ve thoroughly evaluated cloud options on the market. We were looking for pricing predictability and ample bandwidth allocations, in a no-surprises package for our customers. The Planet Server Cloud behaves like a dedicated server by guaranteeing our fair share of space, traffic and CPU, at a cheaper cost. It’s great for small and big sites that want to cut costs while at the same time get a reliable service.”

“Server Cloud was expressly designed for our existing customers, with a platform that’s purpose-built for web-based businesses,” said Carl Meadows, senior product manager for Cloud Services with The Planet. “For resellers like SiteGround, their customers operate websites that depend on platform stability. They’ve got to be up and running around the clock, providing the performance guarantees that keep their customers coming back.”

As you may already know, this is a huge step up for SiteGround considering they have always seemed to be in the lower end hosting world.  Switching to the cloud server should help them to save money and be able to scale their new servers to fit a lot more people on them.
