Get down from the cloud! We are pleased to officially announce our Cloud Website Hosting in Mauritius service as from today. This is the first time in Mauritian Internet history where all citizens of our country will be able to host their website on Cloud Servers for the same price as a cheap Shared Host. (Ok I stop the dramatic intro)

So friends, in fact I have been hosting clients websites on Cloud Hosting servers (RackSpaceCloud) since January 2010. Until now the offer was only to clients and companies who paid me to design their websites. Today, after much thought, I am offering this service on Island Crisis too, to the whole country. So what is it exactly?

You all know that websites must be hosted on a server right? And 98% of websites are in fact hosted on Shared Hosting which is the most affordable in term or pricing (but not really the best option if you are very serious about your work and traffic). Shared web hosting in Mauritius can cost from $4 to $17 a month and basically it is simply hundreds of websites being hosted on one server (one computer).

I have had a look around and see that no one is actually offering cloud hosting which is also in an exponential demand these days as more websites and applications require more computing power. So what is cloud servers hosting? In simple word, this mean that your website is hosted on a hard disk, but among thousands of similar disks (servers). The advantage of cloud hosting compared to traditional shared hosting or even traditional dedicated server hosting is that with cloud hosting you have a nearly unlimited power in terms of computing power and resource and which is easily scalable on demand. Furthermore, hosting on the RIGHT cloud hosting company also provides you hosting support unlike others (which I believe is the most important thing when you choose a host).

Whenever your website encounter a sudden peak of traffic, load balancing and backup servers and resources are available to fulfill your website’s request. Cloud Hosting in simple words is Reliability and Performance. Whether you are developing a web application, corporate website, high traffic forum or news website and even a personal blog, we have the solution for you now.

Now to clarify things, if you are going to make a small personal blog or website, you might not really need the power of cloud hosting. Any shared hosting (you can check our Hostgator shared hosting offer here) will also be fine in this case. However to make things more interesting, we are offering our simplest Plan Level 1 at one of the lowest price of $5/month only.

With our cloud hosting provider Rackspacecloud, we have finally found a simple deal for local citizens to experience the power we use behind Island Crisis and at an affordable price. Normally a monthly service from RackSpaceCloud costs around $150/month (Rs 4800/month)  and with our additional add-on we pay around $200 a month for it – We know that many of you cannot afford such a fee for hosting a website. Since most of the time over 90% of our available resource remains unused, we are now offering the same service but with fragmented capacity in terms of disk space and computer cycle at an affordable fee starting $5/month only!

To view more of the offer, you can read the Cloud Web Hosting in Mauritius page here. I have also written a FAQs to answer all the common questions relating to the hosting offer here.
