Isn’t cloud computing just the internet?
You use the internet to connect your device to the cloud, but the internet is just the connection – the cloud is where your data lives.

Isn’t it possible to lose your data in the cloud?
Your data is actually much safer in the cloud than on your computer. Your computer can be stolen or corrupted quite easily, but cloud companies spend millions on systems and experts to protect your data.

Aren’t you stuck if the internet goes down?
These days, the internet is like electricity – it’s very rare for it to go down and when it does you just have to wait a short time for it to be available again. In the meantime, all your data is safe in the cloud.

Isn't cloud computing expensive?

No, not at all! It’s much cheaper because you only pay for what you use. You’re not paying for endless upgrades, system maintenance, support fees or additional hardware like backup systems.

What all cloud services you offer?

We provide Cloud LUM SSD Windows and Linux VPS, LXC Linux VMS and Rapid V Cloud with High availibility feature.

What exactly, LXC VPS hosting mean?

This is an advance version of openVZ virtualization technology. It is supported natively by the Linux kernel. LXD is a new technology which load applications faster than OpenVZ vm's. This particular hosting supports only LINUX OS.

What LXC stands for?

LXC stands for Linux Containers.

When to opt for LXC VPS?

In case you need a low price but very fast VPS on which to host your web applications or websites, without a lot of customization at the server level involved, on a shared kernel, we would recommend a LXC container. It has the main benefits of giving the user instant application portability without worring about setting up the VM, at a great price.

Is easy upgrades possible in LXC VPS?

Being able to upgrade your disk, memory or the number of cores on your VPS without any reboots needed, we strongly reccommend this type of VPS when dealing with crtitical operations and downtime is not possible.

What all templates LXC VPS offers?

Following are the templates which LXC VPS offers debien, ubuntu, centos, centos+cpanel, centos+plesk and centos+cwp panel.

How secure is LXC VPS for my data?

By running key services within separate containers, you can ensure that a security flaw in one will remain better isolated from affecting other services. This may sound very similar to chroot jails, but LXC offers much more than just file-system isolation.

What are the limitations of LXC VPS?

Due to its use of Linux cgroups, LXC containers can be configured with limitations on resources. When running a large number of containers, this can ensure that the most important ones get first priority.

What is SSD?

SSD stands for ‘solid-state disk’ or ‘solid-state drive,’ and is basically a fast and reliable data storage device for your server. It functions in much the same way as a traditional hard disk drive (HDD) but operates at a much faster speed. SSD uses flash memory chips to store data and has no moving parts. This helps eliminate the time taken to ‘find’ data (sometimes called ‘seek time’), which is associated with conventional hard drives.

What is Cloud SSD VPS?

We are using KVM hypervisor virtualization technology. All SSD VPS plans come with pure Solid-State-Drives (SSD) with raid 10. Both Linux and Windows OS supported. We provide cloud management portal for VPS management. From cloud portal you can get console access, backup, stop/start/reboot VPS.

Why should I use an SSD virtual server?

SSD makes things run faster. An SSD virtual server will offer high-speed read/write performance, quicker provisioning times and faster random access for your websites, storage, and software. Basically, any scenario where disk I/O speed is a factor will be improved by SSD.

What are the advantages of using an SSD virtual server?

There are many pros of using an SSD virtual server, but the main one is speed. Acess to files is quicker. Our SSD has been designed to deliver an increased level of performance and reliability, while also providing outstanding speed. A virtual server fitted with SSD is also more environmentally friendly than a standard virtual server since it will consume less energy and run cooler.

Can I revert back to my non-SSD server once I’ve upgraded to SSD?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the different technologies used, upgrading is a one-way process. To move back to a standard virtual server, you will need to provision a second server and migrate the applications and data manually.

How secure is my data in Cloud SSD VPS?

Data is important to any webmaster with high secured storage capacity and accessibility. As traditional HDD consists of moving parts, it can result in wear and tear. Additionally, there are chances of losing data by some small mishandling. There are no such moving parts in SSD and hence it eliminates all of the above factors of data loss. Hence, your data is extremely safe with SSD.

How do you allocate resources?

Each cloud server is made up of one or more units called nodes. A node is allocated a guaranteed share of CPU and RAM resources as well as SAN storage space and monthly bandwidth. The more nodes you assign to a Virtual Machine, the more physical resources will be dedicated to your system. Unlike many other providers, we do not oversell or share any resources between machines.
