What is cloud hosting?
The term 'cloud' is used to describe a number of very different products, but in The Software Licensing Company’s (SLC) case, it refers to on-demand, scalable, virtualized servers accessible over the internet.

 

How do cloud servers differ from dedicated servers?
When buying a typical dedicated server, you have to pay an initial set-up fee and commit to a contract for a year or more. There is usually a lead time on the hardware, and it is difficult to change the server specification as your needs evolve. You are then paying for the server 24 hours a day, not just when you want it up and running. 

Cloud servers, on the other hand, can be deployed immediately. Users have access to an easy-to-use web control panel with no setup charge, a low minimum price point, and no commitment to a contract. As your requirements change, you can instantly scale the resources you use up and down,and can even pay-as-you-go for the hours your servers are running.

 

How do SLC cloud servers differ from traditional Virtual Private Servers (VPS)?
Traditional VPS providers slice up large dedicated servers to share them between customers. VPS providers use container technology, such as Virtuozzo, to isolate multiple users on a single server. By contrast, our KVM (What does KVM stand for?) technology enables every user to run their own isolated copy of an operating system of their choice. This provides a greater choice of operating systems, higher performance, more flexibility and security guarantees.

 

How does cloud hosting differ from shared hosting?
Shared hosting solutions only give you access to your server through a web control panel, where you can manage a number of websites hosted on that server. With our cloud server, you get full administrative control over your server and the ability to install any software you like and configure it exactly how you wish.

 

How does cloud hosting differ from a CDN (Content Delivery Network)?
A CDN is used to distribute copies of static media content such as images and videos to the network, nearer to your customers. This enables them to download these files with lower latency and less chance of bandwidth contention. It only works for static media content, and cannot be used for dynamic content or more general compute applications in the same way as cloud servers.  

 

Do you offer managed hosting services?
No, we only offer a self-managed service. Our infrastructure is very easy-to-use and you can install and administer it just like physical hardware. However, we can recommend partners if you would prefer a fully-managed product.
