Why settle for a VPS when you can have a slice of the entire grid behind your application.

Most organizations follow the same process when setting up their web application or service. When their site starts, it resides on a shared hosting service. As it grows, it needs its own server, and then in many cases multiple servers to handle the increased traffic. Each of those growth steps involves costly hardware purchases and increasingly specialized staff to manage them.

Grid services practically eliminate these growing pains. Even on the smallest Grid Hosting package, your application is spread out across our grid of servers. As your needs grow, we simply dedicate more of that grid for your use and you've increased capacity in minutes, without expensive hardware or managed services.

Key Features

Time-to-market
Gleargrid’s AppLogic based grid service lets you can accomplish everything you can with traditional co-location, but in a fraction of the time. There will never be a delay to provision hardware, rebuild images, and test configuration changes. Even rolling back to test previous versions takes just minutes.

Complete Control
Whether you are just using one or more gVS in our grid or running your own grid Virtual Datacenter, you are in complete control. You are free to set up things exactly the way you need it, upgrade and rollback whatever you need. All in the comfort of home or wherever you prefer as long as you have internet access.

On-Demand Scalability
With cleargrid, you can start small and scaling no longer means having to configure new servers, reinstalling software, and moving your data. Your application can be scaled from a fraction of a server to dozens of machines with no code modification at all. You'll never need to overprovision again and pay more only when you need to.

Universal High Availability
Data loss and extended downtime will be a thing of the past. All data on any single gH, gVS or gVDC is automatically mirrored across the grid it resides on. When a server fails, all data remains available, and affected appliances will be are automatically restarted elsewhere on the grid. Your application will be back online within minutes, not hours, not days. All these happen automatically means no more late night trying to restore a failed application, making IT management that much easier.

Convenient Snapshots
Gone with costly redundant hardware and tones of gear for Traditional backups only protect your files. Actually restoring and using the data is complicated at best. In contrast, AppLogic snapshots are a complete executable instance of your application with all of it's data. Every time you need you can roll to a running version of your application that runs when restored and includes all the data from that period.

Forget about data-only backups. With cleargrid, you can back up a whole multi-server cluster, complete with the configuration settings, code, data and everything else. It's called an application snapshot. There is no need for restore - you can start the snapshot as a separate application - even side by side with your production system.

Efficient Use of Resources
A Virtual Datacenter is one of the most efficient ways to use hardware. You can deploy a wide range of services - from a simple virtual server for web hosting to complex n-tier applications in the same gVDC, allocate resources simply, and manage them from the same web interface. With a Virtual Datacenter, you have total control over the allocation of every bit of processing power, storage space and bandwidth capacity.

Easy multi-tenancy
AppLogic makes it so easy to deploy and scale individual copies of your application for each customer. This way the complex multi-tenant architectures can become a thing of the past.

Developement and Testing
Developers often write their code without access to the whole application. After all, deploying the application has been cumbersome . . . until now. With a Virtual Private Datacenter you can simply copy an entire n-tier application and run a new copy for each developer, each with a fraction of the resources of the primary application. These copies can be run on the same Virtual Private Datacenter without interfering with the primary application in any way. And when it's time to test the new code you deploy dozens, or even hundreds, of copies to speed testing.
