Why ElasticHosts virtual servers beat Amazon EC2 |
Our virtual servers are tailored for web hosting, unlike Amazon EC2, which is a less targeted virtualization solution.
| Feature | Description | ElasticHosts | Amazon EC2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic virtualization | Run multiple virtual servers on physical hardware. |
|
|
| Free choice of operating systems | Run any operating system designed for PC hardware and any software on your virtual server. |
|
(Linux only) |
| Fully flexible sizing | Resize your server, changing your processor, memory, disk or bandwidth on demand to fit your current capacity needs. |
|
(only 5: small, large, extra large, high-cpu medium, high-cpu extra large) |
| Easy-to-use web hosting services | Benefit from a full suite of accompanying services that you need to build your web application (e.g. domain registration, DNS), all managed from any web browser. |
|
|
| Automatic redundancy and failover | Rely on automatic reboot of your virtual server in the unlikely event that it terminates due to software or hardware failure, together with RAID 6 redundant storage of your data, without the need to explicitly store to S3. |
