Cloudcache: Why It Can Grow Your Website Too

This is a guest post courtesy of Jason Case, an online lead generation website developer.

I was offered a Cloudcache trial a few months ago as part of a special promotion, and so far I've had a great experience with this service. Unlike most cloud hosting services, Cloudcache is a cloud caching service secured by secure socket layers (SSL's), which means that data sent from the Cloudcache server to end-users is encrypted. That's one reason why I chose Cloudcache, and the other reasons may surprise you:

Cloudcache Secure Socket Layer

I sell many products on my website, both as an affiliate marketer and first-party products like eBooks and coaching videos. PayPal takes too big of a cut of what each person pays so I've quit using PayPal for my financial transactions. Furthermore, many of the things I sell are bought in shopping carts, which need a SSL to work properly.

SSL's keep your content safe too

Sometimes you want somebody to pay to see content, and the content is your product. Often, they will have to log in with a username and a password to get access to your content. This username and password combination needs to be encrypted, but that's not all. The content itself needs to be encrypted or else they could just tunnel in and pick up unencrypted content, as long as someone else is receiving that content. Even if not many people are consuming your content (so it's unlikely that a tunneler will be able to find someone else who wants your content at the same time as they do) they can still set up automated listeners (much like tapping a phone call) that will download content that's sent from your domain while they are away from their computer. However, Cloudcache let me encrypt my content so this is not a problem for me.

Cloudcache doesn't cut corners on lower tiers

When I was looking for cloud hosting services, I noticed that many lower tiered plans had missing features. The higher tiers weren't necessarily more costly for the service provider, but they included things that are critical to a working cloud hosting service. Worse, some of them would give you the premium tiers' features with the starter tiers for a few months, and then take the features away. This seems like a good thing at first, but then you realize that the features they took away are critical to your cloud caching service. Had I chosen a service like this, I would have been tied into an expensive service just to use a few easy-to-provide features.

Cloudcache doesn't throttle speeds at lower tiers

Even though I did not get a premium tier, I still got good features. There was no cap on my download speed or anything like that. The main difference between Cloudcache's tiers is that the higher tiers give you higher amounts of storage and more bandwidth, but the speed at which people get content is lightning-fast at the basic packages too. The only feature you get with the higher tiered ones is a custom SSL that runs through your domain instead of Cloudcache's domain.
