Elastic is our favorite word.

We packed even more wonderfully springy elastic capabilities into the Elastic Server platform with our new ElasticHosts partnership. Today we are proud to announce Elastic Servers can now be deployed to the ElasticHosts' UK-based cloud computing infrastructure. The new ElasticHosts deployment option is available on our Server Configuration page.

ElasticHosts is the second European cloud infrastructure provider and the world's first public cloud based upon KVM, the native Linux virtualization platform. The company provides flexible server capacity in the UK for scalable web hosting and on-demand burst computing such as batch processing, dev/test, disaster recovery and cloud bursting. ElasticHosts offers competitive pricing for both subscription and burst use, fast direct links to the UK/EU internet, data storage within EU jurisdiction and outstanding performance for any PC operating system with fully flexible sizing.

Get that Elastic Server up in the ElasticHosts Cloud!
To deploy your custom-assembled virtual server to the ElasticHosts cloud start the same way you would for any other Elastic Server build, choose your desired software components. You can do this easily by visiting from one of our popular Elastic Server Sites (e.g. Rails, Django, LAMP, etc.) or select from our Bundle Explorer and add them to your software component bundle cart (MySQL 5, Apache 2 and PHP 5).

When your custom stack is assembled just the way you want it, select the "ElasticHosts" radio button from the "Ready to Build" screen (seen here). Give your server an appropriately pliant name, choose whether to share your server and use a static password, and click the "Build Now" button. In a few minutes, you'll receive an email with a download link to your rubbery new server ready to be sent to ElasticHosts. Just forward your Build Confirmation Email to support@elastichosts.com and your Elastic Server will be uploaded your ElasticHosts account. Check out our Quick Tip video for more information.

"Installing and configuring software components and operating systems on virtual servers from scratch in this multi-sourced world is extremely time consuming and expensive," said Richard Davies, Founder and CEO of ElasticHosts. "CohesiveFT's Elastic Server automates this process allowing our users to concentrate on the benefits of our highly scalable, flexible, and cost effective KVM-based UK cloud. The combination of ElasticHosts and Elastic Server is a fast track to realizing returns from cloud computing - ElasticHosts customers can immediately deploy well over five thousand custom-built server images"
