ElasticHosts, the UK-based cloud provider, has launched its cloud server offerings in the US, which the company says will provide ultra-flexible and easy-to-use server capacity for web hosting and on-demand burst computing.

The company claims that its cloud servers allow customers the cost-efficiency of buying exactly the capacity they need, with capacity being billed on-demand by the hour. Customers will also benefit from a user-friendly interface that can be managed from any desktop and allows them to create virtual servers instantly and resize their capacity immediately.

ElasticHosts said that its servers run any PC operating system and are configurable and designed to accommodate all forms of web hosting. The company is offering a 100% SLA with 100x credits for downtime.

Richard Davies, CEO of ElasticHosts, said, “We have designed ElasticHosts so that it can be used by almost anyone – it allows users to configure their servers specifically to suit their requirements.

“With our expansion into the US we are aiming to capitalise on this ease of use and offer customers on two continents a competitively priced, familiar experience when they move to the cloud. This reduces the need for training and dramatically speeds up deployment, leaving our customers free to focus on what they do best and drive their revenues.”
