Since it was established in 1994, Atlantic.Net has expanded its reach from North America and Europe to practically all corners of the world. During those three decades, Atlantic.Net built a reputation for providing cutting-edge hosting and IT management services to big industry names. The company owes its success to a customer-focused ideology, summed up in its maxim: “Customer satisfaction is, always has been, and forever will be paramount at Atlantic.Net.”
Currently, Atlantic.Net Cloud Platform (ACP) offers cloud-based hosting solutions for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD Cloud Virtual Servers optimized for performance and scalability.
Numerous key features such as on and off-site back-ups, secure block storage, and 24x7x365 support make ACP the best option for those looking for cloud-based hosting on a budget.
ACP’s intuitive and user-friendly control panel and snapshot features increase shareability and make management and local storage much easier.
Unlike other hosting platforms, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure, Atlantic.Net provides users with a transfer capacity of 5TB in their basic package, which can only be matched by other platforms if upgraded after incurring substantial costs. Moreover, the transfer capacity gap grows even bigger with the choice of packages beyond the basic G3.4GB offered by the Atlantic.Net Cloud Platform.
ACP’s numerous hosting packages offer greater than 64 GBs of RAM and 16 vCPU processors. This robust hardware helps eliminate server downtime, provides users with second-to-none performance, and streamlines online operations of businesses by improving operational efficiency. Beyond this, ACP can offer even more RAM and vCPU processors to interested customers, as well as dedicated nodes that support custom VM sizing.
ACP offers up to 1280GB of NVMe SSD storage; even industry leaders cannot match this offering at ACP’s budget-friendly pricing. Currently, the pricing structure varies for Windows and Linux, starting at $29 and $17 per month, respectively.
