For unknown reason, there is intense racing between hosting companies to advertise the launching of their hosting clouds, I agree that hosting industry need some fresh products, but to call anything you have a “cloud” is plain fraud.
To be “Cloud” you need to able to spread your website over multiple hardwares, with full failover (High Availability), load balancing and easy to expand over more hardwares when you need more resources ..
But what really sold today is a Xen virtual dedicated server that can get more resources when need, no failover, no mulitple hardware, no HA .. simply Xen VPS.
In return, the BEST you can get is a dedicated server performance with higher price.
check my chat session with a “Cloud” provide:
- Paul: Greetings, my name is Paul. Welcome to ***** Sales. With whom am I speaking? How may I be of assistance?
- you: Paul I have a question
- you: is what you are selling is really Cloud? or its just VPS on a node?
- you: I mean .. does my instance can spread over several nodes?
- Paul: Hello, it is based on Xen, so it only is using the single node
- you: from what I see in your website and similar, the largest instance is 1 dedicated server .. why youdo not say we sell Xen VPS and you are done!

Finally, we signed a contract with our prefered domain registrar enom.com to provide the Whois Privacy Service (they call it ID Protect or Domain Privacy Protection) for free with any new domain registration.
Current users will get the private domain registration automatically with hosting account renewal for free, or for $5 one time fee to add private registration at any time.
We used to offer this service for $7/year ($6 goes to enom.com and $1 as transaction fees) and although this service still not for free from enom.com, we have decided to bear the cost to protect our valued clients.
How does ID Protect ( Domain Privacy Protection ) work?
- Shielding your private information
Your private contact information is not exposed. It is held in confidentiality and protected by the Domain Privacy Protection Service. Their contact information is displayed to provide you with the highest level of protection against spammers and identity theft.
- Dynamic eMail System which stops spammers dead in their tracks
Without Privacy ID, spammers can obtain your email address from harvesting and then use it for spamming purposes and redistribution to marketing firms. Your email address can stay on file with various spammers and marketing firms for years. Due to the dynamic email system, your visible email address is constantly changing, so while it is being harvested and redistributed, it will change and the previous address will no longer work for the spammer. The Domain Privacy Protection Service secures and maintains your real email address on file so you receive important information regarding your domain.
- Offering your complete control
You retain full legal ownership and control over your domain name. You can sell, renew, transfer and change settings to your domain name just the same as before. Your domain control panel provides you real-time access to easily manage your domain name.
