CatN vCluster for free!
CatN is a new hosting service that provides clustered php hosting, while offering levels of control similar to a dedicated hosting solution.
Why clustered hosting?
Clustered hosting has many benefits:
- Load is spread across numerous servers, reducing the reliance one machine, and avoiding bottlenecks.
- Your site will be spread across all parts of vCluster, so if one server goes down, the remaining servers will continue to host your site and keep it live.
- Different processes can be separated. We use a separate layer of servers for serving scripts to static content like images, which enables us to control resource use and guarantee performance of php scripts with dedicated resources.
- The nature of clustered hosting enables us to scale our super computer to meet any demands on capacity instantly. Experience no drops in performance when they receive a visitor spike, we simply add more servers to meet the new demands.

- Add a link in your email signature
I would like to add one of my own tips to this list that I think is most important when blogging:
- It is all about the quality of your post, post only quality content and your blog will be recognized for this. Read the rest of this entry »
