    Thanks for the article, Ted. I am always interested in seeing how our customers are using our hosting products. Regarding the charges, you are correct: you will only be billed for the resources you use and there is no minimum charge. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I am the Hosting Product Director for Go Daddy.

    This is a good article. I have looked into cloud hosting in the past but have avoided it due to the costs but these look reasonable to say the least. Support is also a big plus for me and in the past I have been happy with GoDaddy.
    I recently signed up with a Clustered Hosting package in the UK which offers me load-balancing across multiple redundant web servers. Im paying a small amount for this and so far Im more than happy but in the future when I outgrow this current setup I may take the plunge and give GoDaddy a try. Thanks.

    Hey Ted, great post on “outsourcing” CPU capacity. It’s incredibly annoying to have to wait for a SEO tool to do it’s thing (while you could be doing things in the mean time) and then see it crash. Although paying by the hour sounds expensive at first, it’s better than paying for a second computer in your office/home, lol!

    I seldom comment, but i did a few searching and wound up here How to Set Up Your Very Own Cloud Windows
    Server for SEO | Coconut Headphones. And I actually do have a couple of
    questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be simply me or does it look as if like some of these remarks come across as if they are written by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on other places, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your shared pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    I have definitely considered cloud hosting, but the cost just doesn’t seem to make sense yet. I hear crazy good things about AWS though.

    Outsourcing CPU power is definitely smart; unless you truly have the need for the dedicated power paying by the hour is the way to go.

    Impresive tutorial, probably most of us considered about getting hosted in the cloud just that most of the times costs are really something to consider over performance.

    I’m not sure if it really worth the effort to go into the cloud if you have a small site, rather than using a few clusters (if you got a sys admin).

    Cloud hosting seems to be way too expensive still, however, I can see the benefits of it. I have definitely ran into situations where I thought I should get it.

    I agree with Alex on the size of your site. If you don’t have a very large site, you’re probably better off saving your money.
