The story showcases the Netfirms clustered hosting platform. “Clustered hosting is better on all levels… It’s faster to develop on, it’s more reliable because there’s no single point of failure and it’s going to be up 100 per cent of the time,” said Jason Matheson, Product Manager for Netfirms, in the TopHosts article.

Matheson also stated, “We offer clustered hosting because it increases efficiency and reliability, two things our customers expect from us. It’s only a matter of time before other hosts realize clustered hosting is the way to go.”
