ElasticHosts virtual servers come in sizes to suit all businesses, from a basic, but fully capable server from £29 per month to high-end configurations with up to eight cores, 8 GB memory, 2 TB disk.
ElasticHosts makes flexible virtualization easy. You configure our sophisticated infrastructure to match your needs with any web browser, giving you an unmatched combination of instant flexibility, ease of use and cost efficiency.
We were inspired to found ElasticHosts by the enormous impact of virtualization on every aspect of server technology, but realized that our customers sometimes find it a challenge to achieve the scale and expertise necessary to exploit this alone. We provide easy-to-use web hosting solutions, offering all the power and control of a traditional hosted server, but managed from any web browser to expose all of the additional benefits of virtualization.
We are a carbon neutral company and believe that widespread use of virtualization is key to revolutionize data centre energy efficiency and to avoid projections that the worldwide data centre carbon footprint will surpass even airlines by 2020.
Our founders
Our founders, Chris Webb and Richard Davies, have more than a decade of collaboration and experience in the web hosting industry behind them. They first met in 1995 when they were both medallists at the International Physics Olympiad, representing Britain. In 1998, whilst studying Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, they founded their first web hosting company Arachsys Internet Services Ltd, and started the development of many of the technologies applied by ElasticHosts today.
