What does inetsmart use for a storage system? Have you done anything there to make it redundant?Nothing as important as your website should be served from a single hard drive, but you'd be surprised by how many web hosts have little more redundancy than a pair of crossed fingers. We're different - and for good reason. The advanced architecture powering our hosting solution uses groups of high-performance, network attached storage devices to reliably serve every web page, image, and email. Inside each storage device, drives are mirrored to each other in a RAID configuration to create a first level of redundancy. And, as a final precautionary measure, all data on the system is automatically backed up on a repeating schedule.
How often does inetsmart backup information?
inetsmart makes backups of your data on a nightly basis. However, its purpose is for disaster recovery on the server side. If for any reason a storage node on our side were to crash, our backups will be there to replace any lost data. That should give you peace of mind.
With that said, we recommend that you make periodic backups of your site and data to your local computer since we are unable to extract an individual site's data from the nightly backups. If you need a backup of your MySQL or MS SQL databases, they can be exported through our online utilities or by connecting directly to the servers using desktop software.
How far can I really scale?
In truth, there are no limits. We currently have users pushing thousands of requests on single domains. The most important issue is whether your site will be compatible with the Cloud. Please refer to our F.A.Q section to ensure you can run your applications successfully on the Cloud.
Can most programs be loaded onto Cloud Hosting?
Just about any Web application should run well on our clusters as long as the script meets standard server requirements. Generally, you just load an application onto Cloud Hosting and it should run unmodified. If you have questions about a specific application, just ask.
