Scheduled Scaling: More Resources When You Need Them, Less When You Don't

Do you need to adjust your server resources for an event tomorrow, next week, or next month? Expecting a spike in traffic, but just for a few days? Scaling resources up and down on your Secure Cloud Servers just got more convenient. We’re excited to announce that scheduled scaling is available today.

FireHost now offers three ways to adjust your cloud server resources through the customer portal.

• Manual Scaling: Resources can be adjusted up or down manually, anytime
• Auto Scaling: Usage thresholds can be set in advance that will automatically add resources to accommodate an increased load should an unexpected spike in activity occur
• NEW Scheduled Scaling: Resource adjustments, whether up or down, can be scheduled in advance to automatically occur on your predetermined days and times

“Startup Weekend is non-profit that is growing quickly in part because of recent media coverage. Every time we have a media hit we see a spike in traffic, which brings both rewards and technical challenges to our business. FireHost’s scheduled scaling feature helps us prepare for these events. Knowing we can schedule our servers to scale up when we need the resources, and back down when we don’t, is great peace of mind.” – Joey Pomerenke, CMO Startup Weekend
