If you use shared hosting (as I do) you share a server with dozens of other Web sites. If you need more performance or more control, you move to a dedicated server owned and supported by the hosting company, or you host your own server in house. You can also put your own physical server in a hosted site called co-location. You provide the server and software, and they provide the location, power, physical security, and Internet access. Now let's talk about a new wrinkle in the cloud called IronScale, a company trying to create a new niche they call “automated managed hosting.” http://www.itworld.com/small-business/59081/ironscale-servers-cloud#comments Development Hardware Internet Operating systems SaaS Server and data center Small business Storage Virtualization Opinion hosting IronScale Saas virtualization Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:38:03 -0500 James Gaskin 59081 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/google-sets-pricing-for-app-engine-080527 Google is announcing pricing for its App Engine service for Web application hosting Wednesday, maintaining a free tier, then charging for storage of more than 500MB of data. http://www.itworld.com/google-sets-pricing-for-app-engine-080527#comments SaaS News application Google hosting Tue, 27 May 2008 21:14:36 -0400 abennett 44412 at http://www.itworld.com
