SiteCloud leaves Amazon's EC2, the cloud server platform is basically a website hosting provider that is quite new in the industry. Many experienced hosting professionals founded this company in the year 2010. During its launch the services of SiteCloud were powered by the cloud computing platform of Amazon.com which is known as EC2. The company entered the market of cloud hosting with different plans. There are twelve packages that are offered by SiteCloud. However the services provided by them had some problems with the servers based on the Amazon platform. They received several negative reviews from the clients. Due to this reason SiteCloud has left the Elastic Cloud environment of Amazon. The hosting provider has now built their own server network and is hoping to get more happy and satisfied clients with positive feed-backs.

At present SiteCloud's hosting services are powered by Single Hop. When SiteCloud leaves Amazon's EC2, there have been certain changes in the services of the company.

With the change of the infrastructure and technology the dedicated shared and VPS hosting services have been consolidated into single packages. The price range of these hosting plans starts from the rate of $4.95 per month. However there has been no change in the price structure of the reseller plan. It starts from $19 per month.
