CLOUD SERVERS: CONTROL PANEL

SCREEN SHOT TOUR OF THE CLOUD SERVERS CONTROL PANEL

"With Cloud Servers, everything is very low risk. I can spin up a server, and take it down. And it's just pennies. Cloud Servers makes me feel I'm in control. With other hosting services you always run into issues. They say you can't do this or that because of XYZ. With a Cloud Server, you can do whatever you want!"

ANDREW GRAY, PROGRAM COORDINATOR, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

Following along with our customer, Andrew Gray, we took a few screenshots as he created a new instance of Cloud Servers using our slick online control panel. Andrew enjoyed root access to a new Cloud Server. Even though he had never administered a server before, Andrew was able to spin up a Cloud Server with no issue. The steps he used to create it are detailed below. Of course with Cloud Servers with a Managed Service Level we are on hand to help you through the process too!

Thanks to Rackspace Cloud Hosting we can now afford to run our 65k page, fully optimised website. This has been designed from the ground up to be fast and flexible and though still under intensive development and testing we are beginning to see some very encouraging results. We have the capability to offer multi currency, multi language sister sites and have used the immense flexibility of the cloud hosting package to run up new servers to test the code base on a staging server then simply destroy it afterwards.
