Using Cloud Sites
1. Load up your website content
You can create a new Rackspace Cloud powered site—and even add some email accounts—in less than five minutes. Load-Balancing, clustering, and redundant storage are all inherited by your application automatically, without any effort.
2. Watch your websites scale
From the first byte served, your site is hosted on advanced clustered technology designed for high-traffic, high-performance websites. When your site grows bigger than what's included, you pay inexpensive scale pricing for exactly what you use and nothing more.
- Scale your bandwidth

Built on a Standard Platform
Most of the new hosting platforms require custom-code and architecture to make your application work. Cloud Sites is different because it's designed to run your application with very little (if any) modification. The Cloud Sites platform is built on existing web standards and powered by the proven technology that you know and use. That means you get the benefits of a scalable platform—for free—spending zero time coding towards custom APIs or data schemas.
Runs both Linux & Windows
Cloud Sites uses the best server technologies from both sides of the fence, fused together in a way that just has to be seen to be believed. Learn more about what's supported on our Cloud Sites TrueHybrid page

Comparing Rackspace Cloud Computing Products
Cloud Sites is used to quickly host very scalable and reliable websites.
Unlike traditional web hosting, this is not a massive amount of customers crammed on one server. Instead, it's a massive amount of servers that power each visit to your web site.
You'll want Cloud Sites if you're looking for web hosting without the hassles of managing a server or the poor performance and reliability common with virtual hosting.
Cloud Files is unlimited online storage for media, files, and backups.
If your web application needs a lot of storage for images or user-generated content, Cloud Files can store it all for pennies per gigabyte.
You'll want Cloud Files if you've ever asked yourself, "How are we going to store all that?" The best part is that you only pay for the online storage and bandwidth you are currently using. Cloud Files is big online storage without the big costs.
Cloud Servers allow technical users to get custom servers in minutes with full root access.
With Cloud Servers get what you want when you need it, Cloud servers are both instant and disposable. Make a new Server for staging and four new Servers for production. Delete one; create three more. You only pay for what's provisioned and Cloud Servers start at under 2 cents an hour!
