Dedicated Cloud Hosting, Edge & Dedicated Servers

The term "Cloud Hosting" describes a web hosting service provided by a cloud computing system in which the processing operations (computing) and data storage are distributed across separate underlying physical server infrastructure layers. A Cloud computing system is virtualized by default. It has the following layers: Infrastructure hardware layer; Infrastructure hypervisor layer; Tenant virtual machine (server) layer; Tenant operating system (OS) layer; Tenant application layer.
Server environments provided as a service to IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) users (tenants) defined as "Public Cloud" and "Private Cloud" are hosted in the same physical cloud computing system. This is called "cloud hosting".
The term Dedicated Cloud Hosting describes a single-tenant cloud system. When you use a dedicated cloud hosting service, you do not share the resource of the dedicated cloud environment (cloud system) with other users. It is exclusively dedicated to you! There are different Dedicated Cloud Hosting technology models that an organization can use depending on its specific needs.

“Managed Cloud” is a term that describes a cloud infrastructure (cloud hosting) with included technical support and system administration of the infrastructure environment. Depending on the Service Level Agreement (SLA) the Managed Cloud may or may not include system administration and support of the network and software configurations, security settings, installed operating systems, the installed software applications, maintenance, and data backups.
The cloud infrastructure sold by the major hyperscaler clouds such as AWS and Azure is "Unmanaged" by default and there is no customer support or system and technical administration included in the service. If the users need to use a support they have to pay an additional fee to access the support. It usually starts at $100/month
All cloud infrastructure offered by HostColor is a "semi-managed cloud" and includes some level of system administration by default.

HostColor's core team has been managing servers and IT infrastructures since 2000. As an organization, Host Color LLC has over 20 years of experience in the hosting industry. To illustrate HostColor's experience, consider these two facts:

• HostColor (HC) began hosting content management systems three years before WordPress was launched, and had already been providing virtual server hosting services for seven years when Amazon launched its AWS with the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
• HostColor's team members have extensive experience with major operating systems, virtualization technologies, Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and hundreds of open-source applications at any stage of their development and business lifecycles. You can rely on HostColor to install and maintain a secure, productive, and cost-effective technology environment for your organization.

At HostColor, your organization is a valued client, receiving customized IT services and a best-in-class edge hosting infrastructure, not just a customer.

1. HostColor teams up with top-notch partners worldwide — Tier 3 and Tier 4 data centers — to give you access to over 100 Edge Server Hosting locations. We make it easy for you to deliver application services to your clients instantly with less than 5 ms network delay.
2. Our cloud hosting services are more transparent, safer and more secure than the big hyperscale cloud providers. When you use HostColor's cloud hosting, your data is private property and no one can touch it. It is the opposite of the big clouds where your data is subject to complex policies and terms and conditions that you cannot control.
3. We charge you less for Semi-Managed Dedicated and Edge Servers than the so-called "Major Clouds" do for unmanaged cloud services. HostColor's Dedicated Servers & Edge Hosting services feature large bandwidth quotas. Your monthly bill won't go up as long as you don't increase your CPU and RAM resources and data storage quota. We don't charge our Web Hosting, VPS, and Cloud Server clients for IOPS, DNS zones, DNS queries, or data transfers. Our infrastructure-as-a-service plans include free technical support.
