Cloud Servers That Behave Like Real Servers

Like traditional hardware, our platform can be understood using familiar terms: servers, drives, IP addresses, public networks, and private networks. This familiarity ensures an easy transition. Yet, our platform allows for the deployment of computing resources as if they were software. Want more memory, larger disk, or an IP? Resources can be managed on-demand because cloud computing is hardware as software.

High Performance Cloud Hosting Servers

We guarantee the availability of reserved CPU, RAM, and disk. And, at times when a host server’s CPU is not fully allocated, the unused CPU is freely and automatically allocated to our clients’ running servers.

For your databases, websites, and computationally intensive applications, Open Hosting delivers performance.

Bring Your Own Operating System

If it runs on standard Intel & AMD architecture, it will run at Open Hosting. And, with no technical restrictions in place, you are welcome to bring your own operating system.

. . . Or, Use One of Ours

Upstream Access by InterNap

Network access to the Internet is fundamental to hosting. That’s why our platform connects to the Internet through Internap. Their real-time route optimization is essential to our ability to provide high performance cloud hosting.

Secure Networking with VLANs and Firewalls

Our VLANs route encrypted and unmetered network traffic among your servers on infrastructure physically distinct from the public network. This means your network traffic is protected and unlimited.

On our platform, network firewalls are easily deployed and configured. Operating independently of your server, they block traffic before it hits your server.

API for Platform Automation

The API expands on the functionality of the control panel, offering complete control of the platform. We also provide a command line tool, drive upload tool, and a drive download tool that allow you to exercise our entire API without writing code.

While the API and drive upload tool remain the most robust means of moving large drives, an FTP service makes these moves simple.

Console Access

Console access means having hands on the server. Open Hosting has addressed a longstanding challenge to remote computing by embedding VNC into our platform. Using a freely available VNC client, you can watch your server boot and enjoy cloud computing free from boot-time mysteries.

Linux KVM-based Virtualization

Linux KVM takes advantage of the latest generation of processors to provide native performance in a fully virtualized environment. Linux KVM is the best available virtualization.

100% SLA

Open Hosting has built its platform, both hardware and software, as a reliable, highly available service. Many layers of management and redundancy ensure reliable up-time. Read our SLA for more information.
