Web Hosting
A Truly Elastic Cloud Solution
Comtek System Solutions’ web hosting solution utilises autoscaling technology meaning that the resources of the server scale automatically. Bandwidth, memory and processing power are scaled up or down instantly – depending on demand. We offer true ‘elastic cloud’. Even in a surge of traffic, your website will still maintain the same experience for every user. This is because a site isn’t hosted on one or two servers. Instead, it can access the whole platform’s resources: multiple servers, this is just one of the reasons our hosting offer is so special!
If there’s a spike in demand and your shared hosting ‘neighbours’ become busy, it doesn’t affect your site speed. Busy sites are isolated from others.
This doesn’t happen at other hosting providers, as websites controlled by cPanel are restricted to single servers. With other hosts, if you share a server with a busy site, it will affect your site too.
The Latest and Greatest
In order to offer the fastest shared hosting experience, we employ the latest technologies in our hosting options. Taking the time to investigate all performance-boosting technologies available in order to offer the best to our customers.
Better Load Balancing
Load balancing is about sharing traffic across servers. It mitigates failover by moving your site to another server if that server goes down, by utilising the best-in-class hardware on a robust 10Gb network we offer a different calibre of load balancing.
Our global load balancing solution makes use of detailing monitoring that responds to traffic loads and applies balancing as necessary, even across multiple servers. With Comtek, your site stays online and remains fast no matter what load the server is under.
Google DNS
We’ve harnessed the power of Google’s global fibre network to build our DNS platform on the same infrastructure as Google. DNS ensures that when you browse to a domain name or find an email address it always resolves to the correct IP address, it essentially translates IP addresses to domain names/email addresses. DNS is an essential part of the internet, so we spare no time in making sure it’s reliable.
