Why do you only have two name servers? Try better dns like at least three in different global positions then ditch the cloud hype. It's a just a cheesy sales pitch and at this point more harm then good.
Unless you think you can run a network better then Amazon?
The main reason is several additional points of failure. More load, more hardware, all for what faster loading speeds? I will put our premium bandwidth against any cloud any day and be much faster most of the time.

dwhs.net was faster by 2.8 seconds. It has won 100% of all encounters.
Average time to load over 8 tests was 0.6s
GALAXYVISIONS.COM
But your still faster then hostgator and dreamhosts sluggish network if that makes you feel better.

Dreamhost is a nightmare and hostgator is about the same. Really worth saving a cup of coffee a month over people? Sorry for the rant but you have to wonder why people ruin business opportunities over a couple bucks. |
You are like 3 years behind on technology my friend. You have no idea how Cloud is created, nor do you know what the technology consits of. And yes. I can build the same Cloud that Amazon has if I had there money. But I don't. I know more about cloud and virtualizaton in my left hand, then you know about hosting in general. You are making yourself look like a fool for anyone who knows about this technology, and you are supposed to be a hosting company. Not saying your shared accounts are not good. But you obviously do not host large enterprise customers.
I am certified in both VMware and Citrix. If you want me to scan my certificates for you, let me know. So I have done my homework. I have sold and built my share of private clouds to many private companies.
You truely have no idea what Cloud hosting is.
Here are some reason why people go virtual
-Less Power Consumption - usually around a 10 or 15 to 1 ration of physical server to virtual server
-Ease of management - creating a virtual server with Windows 2008 R2 takes about an hour from start to finish to roll out a new server. Good luck ordering new hardware, building it, installing the OS and having it online in less then 3 days if you dont have a spare server in stock
-High availability - Using VMware, you can use VMotion, DRS and HA to ensure if one physical host fails, the virtual servers will move to the other physical host automatically.
-Less switching infranstructure - You can also use virtual nic's with VMware and you can do inter VLan routing and switch management with the Cisco v1000 virtual switch on top of VMware
- Maximize hardware - If you take the average server, they usually use 10-15% of there resources (this is fact, look it up), which means you are paying for 85-90% of a server you will never use. This is a waste of money
This is just off the top of my head. I can go on. But again, you have no idea what Cloud is used for or what its made of.
