Map

Be close to your visitors

Do most of your visitors come from America or Europe? Each Silk website can be hosted in the USA or UK at no extra cost. Just let us know which Rackspace Datacenter you prefer when placing your order online.

Be in good company

Silk websites are hosted in the same Rackspace Datacenters as the websites for Nikon, The Register, Motorola, Confused.com, Bluetooth, Renault, and Liveperson.

No extra baggage

Our servers are carefully configured and optimized for one task alone: to host Silk websites as reliability and securely as possible. We don't have the additional overhead of other older scripting languages to support, so we can devote all our time and attention to optimizing Ruby on Rails for the best performance.
Rackspace

All the best ingredients

We've combined the very best application development platform, Ruby on Rails with the best supporting software (MySQL, Lighttpd, Mongrel, to name but a few), and the best hosting infrastructure provider – Rackspace to give you a solid, high-performing hosting platform that Just Works.

Disk Drive

Expand when you need to

Each Silk website comes with 5GB of disk space and a 20GB monthly traffic allocation. This is more than enough for 95% of websites, but should you ever need more, you can always purchase additional resources at any time.

Dedicated Solutions

Need even more security? Have your Silk websites hosted on your own dedicated server at Rackspace. We'll manage and update everything as usual, but your server won't be shared with other clients (ideal for financial companies). Please contact us for a custom quotation.
