Clustered Hosting Technology Eliminates Shared Hosting Problems
Concentric Clustered Hosting is designed to eliminate the problems inherent with typical shared hosting infrastructures. Our technology provides a ‘clustered’ handling of security, load balancing and necessary site resources.
Clustered Hosting ‘virtualizes’ your resources beyond the limits of one physical piece of hardware. Your Web site and applications are not limited to one server. You access the processing power of many servers and your applications are distributed in real-time. This means that you can purchase as much computing power as you need from a virtually inexhaustible source, and even the largest customer never consumes more than a fraction of a percent of the total server pools’ processing capacity.
Clustered Hosting also places controls and protections on scripts. A poorly written script can cripple a server; Concentric Clustered Hosting secures and assigns script processes to individual accounts by isolating script processes with our patented ‘Virtual Domain Environment’, so a script with loops and critical flaws will only impact the performance of the site it is included on.
Traffic is dynamically load-balanced across many Web servers by Clustered Hosting as well, so the impact of an increased load is diluted. Additional servers can be added to the cluster with no impact on active customers. Clustering ensures that Web servers are available to handle huge spikes in traffic.
And security is a fundamental feature of Concentric Clustered Hosting, not an afterthought. There are multiple tiers of security protections integrated into the Clustered Hosting platform, including intelligent routing, redundant switching fabric, and built in firewall and proxy technology. Clustered Hosting protects against both internal attacks common to shared platforms, as well as Denial of Service and other external types of attacks targeting Web servers.

Explore the benefits of Clustered Hosting technology:
- Increased Reliability: With Clustered Hosting, your site is not affected by other sites on the same server.
- Greater Performance: Clustered Hosting provides virtually inexhaustible resources, so you’ll see a higher level of performance and greater computing capacity than when you share these resources and a server may be overloaded with accounts.
- Added Security: With Clustered Hosting, you control access to your account and your ‘Virtual Domain Environment’ unlike shared hosting, where security risks are inherent.
- Affordable Prices: Clustered Hosting provides the benefits of a dedicated server, at shared hosting prices.
