Combating Scrapers and Heavy Load Events

A Docker container on Cloudlets is the ideal solution for combating heavy load spikes. Normally someone attacking or scraping your app causing hundreds of requests per second would slow to a crawl or stop working at all. If a promotion sees an influx of hits from legitimate customers you need infrastructure to be able to handle it. With dynamic cloudlets you have access to extra resources on the fly whenever your app requires them without you doing anything. Cloudlets just handles it for you.

Instead of losing business by being offline, you just pay for the extra resources only when your app actually requires them. Don’t risk losing sales by choosing standard hosting services, let us worry about your hosting, so you can work on your sales.

Dynamic or Fixed Cost Pricing

Dynamic Pricing model
Cloudlets dynamic pricing is our standard pricing model, it is priced similarly to AWS if you used 100% of your CPU/RAM resources 100% of the time, if you use less than your available resources ALL the time, you will pay less with Cloudlets. Imagine presenting to your boss a solution that will save their business 30-50% in hosting costs, provide better performance.

Fixed Pricing model
Cloudlets is generally based on the dynamic pricing model below based on your actual resource usage, however, we have created a premium fixed hosting plan specifically for PHP website hosting.
