Aussie host offers fast SSD cloud servers

Back when I worked with the digital developers at a large publishing company, their work was frequently slowed by the challenges of finding a proper server environment. Of course, the company had it’s own server, but it didn’t have the management and coding tools that help developers work faster and smarter.

CloudWired is a new hosting service based in Melbourne that wants to provide those tools and the type of digital environment that Australian developers want and need to do their best work.

CloudWired offers a fast, cloud-based solid-state (SSD) platform that it says will let small businesses and developers create a cloud server in under a few minute. The service provides a simplified control panel that lets operators manage apps, backups, load balancing, Windows OS and other tasks.

The service also offers one click installation of Linux distros such as CentOS, Debian, FreeBSD, Slackware, Fedora and others. And, there’s a community discussion forum where users can trade tips and tricks.
 
Prices for hosting at CloudWired start at $10AU per month for 1GB RAM, 20 GB SSD and 1 CPU. More details are available at the CloudWired website.
