Choosing the best blog hosting solution
Cloud Servers
For a low-cost, highly-flexible platform that can scale up quickly when needed, consider our Cloud Servers solution.
It’s ideal if you have unpredictable blog traffic levels or are not sure how much server space you’ll need on a regular basis. By hosting your blog in the cloud, you’ll only pay for what you use, and have the peace-of-mind that you can access extra capacity whenever you need it.
If you don’t have the time to manage the servers yourself, we can do it for you. Rackspace Cloud Servers with a Managed Level puts the administration of your blog infrastructure in our hands, leaving you to get on with other priorities.
Dedicated Servers
Alternatively, if you have specific requirements – such as extra security for e-commerce or mission-critical performance – we can offer you your own personal solution. Rackspace Dedicated Servers can be tailored to your needs and enable you to select a specific server size so you get the right transfer speed for your needs. Choose from 5GB, 20GB or 150GB.Getting started
