Clustered Web and Database Hosting

What is Web and Database Hosting?

Web hosting is a type of service that allows someone to make a website available over the World Wide Web, this is necessary for any company who wishes to have a website that is accessible over the Internet. Today, most websites require some sort of database to manage content of the website. BitBlock Web and Database hosting services are Clustered and backed up daily. BitBlock provides a Web and Database Hosting Service and is Canadian based.

What is "clustered" and why does it matter?

While some providers deliver web sites and databases running on a single machine, BitBlock uses multiple machines together. This provides higher performance and reliability. If a single web server or database server fails, we can address the issue in the background but your web site keeps running. Your clients will never notice. Reducing the risk of downtime means your website is available when your clients need it.

Why is it important that my Hosting Service is in Canada?
