Advantages of the Approach of PlanetHoster
The offer of PlanetHoster, which enables the creation of several independent N0C accounts rather than offering a single access to an account, provides high availability.

The Account list button takes you to the list of accounts as it appears in the Web Hosting – > Resource Management – > HybridCloud (dedicated) – > account, where “account” stands for the name of the account (how).
AutoPeakPower (APP) – Burst Power
A ticket must be created so the support team activates this function (how).
For HybridCloud, the AutoPeakPower indicator (APP) provides the time during which the boost was applied during the month:
This function is extremely useful. In fact, if your server experiences a very high influx of visitors and, as a result, your dedicated resources start to run out, APP automatically increases your CPU and RAM resources by 2.5 times, up to a total of 48 hours (in blocks of 4 hours, so you are entitled to 12 free boosts per month). This saves you the hassle of logging into your customer area and adjusting resources accordingly.
