About

Get to know us a bit better.

Company

Somewhere in the Cloud is a small focused hosting company with strict beliefs in getting more done with less. We have teamed up with Rackspace Hosting® to bring their excellent cloud hosting solution to the little guys. Add up all of the years, and we have been hosting since 2001.

Technology

Behind Somewhere in the Cloud , cabinets full of both Linux servers and Windows servers power the over 100,000 sites and applications we host for our customers.

Every Windows-based page is served from clusters built and optimized especially for Windows, and every Linux-based page is served from clusters built and optimized especially for Linux. We use advanced load-balancing technologies to automatically detect the type of technology you are running and route each request to the proper pool of servers.

This is a great example of the power of cloud computing, since you no longer have to make a hosting choice between Linux and Windows. Both LAMP and .NET are included, allowing you to choose the technology you need site by site (or even page by page). The best part is that the cloud technology that can power both will probably cost you less than even one server of either type.

Will your site or application run on Somewhere in the Cloud ? Most popular apps like Wordpress, Drupal, and .NETNuke run really well.
