Have you ever been suspended by your web hosting provider for excessive resource usage? I did and it sucks.
One of my blogs’ articles hit big time on Digg and drives quite a large number of visitors to my site. It’s great and a wonderful feeling hitting Digg’s front page, but the good times are short-lived. Soon, without any notification, my hosting provider shut down the site for excessive CPU usage.
In a disbelieve, I contact the support and get the reply that my site is causing problem to other sites in the shared hosting (I use shared hosting on this one) – so they don’t have any other choices than suspending my site.
What a bummer. I worked hard to build the blog in such a way so it can actually hit it big on social media sites, only to find the blog to be suspended.
The support team suggested me to either optimize the site better OR sign up for VPS or Dedicated hosting plan. The former is okay but the latter is not ideal. VPS and Dedicated hosting are expensive, and I don’t want to pay such amount of money – $60-ish to $100-ish a month – on regular basis.
To cut long story short, I decided to look for options.
I found info about cloud hosting. Cloud hosting is a virtual, dynamic and scalable web hosting infrastructure, which resources are allocated automatically on demand.
Cloud hosting will definitely solve my site suspension problems. Due to its ability to allocate resources automatically, my sites will never go down due to a huge amount of traffic – all in a fraction of VPS or Dedicated hosting costs. Maybe it’s a good bye to traditional shared hosting?
Cloud hosting is typically self-service, but this self-service idea is not really hitting big time in my mind. Also, I’m used to work with cPanel/WHM. This is clearly not supported by cloud hosting.
Or is it?
I continued my search and found SiteCloud.
SiteCloud is a new cloud hosting that is 100% eco-friendly and carbon-neutral. Not only that, the great thing that makes me falling in love with SiteCloud is due to the fact that it runs on cPanel/WHM! Indeed, SiteCloud is the world’s first cPanel/WHM cloud hosting.
SiteCloud also offers some additional perks, such as free site migration, free domain for life, etc. It is also offering unlimited space and bandwidth, and allowing you to host unlimited domains in an account.
I move my sites to SiteCloud and so far the experience is all good. The support is great and although it claims to provide great support to North American clients, it’s actually offering the same top-notch support to clients from other countries, too.
Check out SiteCloud to see whether it can help your site getting traffic without guilty feeling

I’ve never heard about cloud hosting before, but it actually sounds very smart. I might look into that.
Site Cloud looks great, thanks for sharing information
“to provide great support to North American clients” — this is what i want
best regards
I hear that, it happened to me as well, some of these shared hosts are very bad in doing business and it sucks.
This is the first time I’ve never heard about SiteCloud or cloud hosting, it’s seem that it is very helpful. And for me it’s not just helpful on the sites and as you’ve said it is also environment friendly. This is really an efficient solution.
this self-service idea is not really hitting big time in my mind.
Cloud hosting is a great choice in this situation. I am a big fan, I have a friend who runs an ecommerce store on Magento. Using cloud hosting has really helped him increase his sales by improving load times.
Any feedback from you?
