Posted on July 29th, 2011Go Daddy, with its 4th Generation Web Hosting (4GH), is going to restructure the entire Web Hosting Landscape. Constructed under a cloud background, the latest hosting platform offers its clients with several remunerations, such as safety, presentation, scalability and worth, in comparison to the traditional shared web hosting.
With the shared hosting system, numerous websites of the company’s clients can be accommodated on a single server. If the Web server malfunctions, all those on that server will get affected, for example, if one of the hosting servers experiences an issue, all the websites hosted on it, by the company’s clients, will also stop functioning. If one of the websites, accommodated on that server, has a heavy traffic, it may result in loading problems or speed issues with all the other websites, housed on that server
Go Daddy introduced 4GH after considering the feedback received from its clients. With the help of a new structure made up of several Web Hosting servers connected together, these problems would no longer occur. Since websites functioning under the new 4GH system are hosted under the cloud held up, with numerous servers to balance the load. If the server faces a problem and goes down, one of the other multiple servers replace it, so that clients do not have to go through any interruption in their service. If there is heavy traffic on a website, the load is balanced through resource allocation, so that the other websites, on that server, can function at normal capacity.
“4GH was created to help our customers succeed,” stated Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “For example, a customer would be mentioned on Oprah or CNN and suddenly their web server had more traffic than it was designed to handle. We’d quickly move them to a dedicated server to protect them, along with our other shared hosting customers. It was like an epiphany – we needed a new platform that could react immediately. You could say, with 4GH our customers who suddenly find themselves in the limelight won’t miss their ’15 minutes of fame.’”
Go Daddy had begun cloud web hosting, before the term for it, was even founded, however, its latest launch of the 4GH reaches a whole new level of cloud services. With the new generation 4GH, if greater quantities of servers are required, the collection can be increased, in order to offer all Web Hosting clients with stronger power. Clients who have acquired Go Daddy’s 4GH services, with proprietary Dynamic Traffic Management, Dynamic Defense Management and Dynamic Server Management are getting a near-enterprise form of service, at a cheap monthly rate.
4GH Web Hosting is also sponsored by the company’s vigilant 24/7 Site Defenders team, a great tribute to Go Daddy in putting a halt to cyber crime and identifying weaknesses in website security. The employees of Go Daddy have, recently, been awarded with the honor of “Best Security Team” at SC Magazine’s 2011 global awards event.
