What are the different scaling tiers?

GearHost allows you to start off with a Shared CloudSite, scale to a Reserved Node all with a single click.

What is the benefit of multiple Reserved instances?

Adding more instances increases the speed of your application by adding more instance workers to complete requests to your growing user count.

What are the advantages over a shared host?

Most traditional shared hosting platforms are not clustered creating performance bottlenecks and service outages due to "noisy neighbors". GearHost shared nodes are fully independent from other applications providing 99.99% uptime and amazing performance, guaranteed to surpass your current host by 4X.

What are the advantages over a dedicated server?

In a dedicated server environment you are not able to scale very easily. You are limited as the physical or virtual server and can only scale vertically, if even that. Scaling with GearHost is done both vertically and horizontally with just a single click with no code changes.
