Berlin, Germany, - OnlineClock.net, Creators of the world's original Online Alarm Clock, have moved their alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown and timer applications to the security of a Cloud Hoster.
Back when he came up with the idea for his website in 2006, Tom Churm, the creator of the most successful Online Alarm Clock website, had no idea that it would become so popular. "Well, it was basically just one of those brainstorms that comes to you shortly before you fall asleep," explained Mr. Churm. "It's not as if I had studied or done research or had set out to create a really popular website. One night the idea literally just came into my head as I lay in bed: how about an alarm clock that you could use on the world wide web."
In March, 2010 it will be four years since Mr. Churm had his original idea for an Online Alarm Clock Website at http://onlineclock.net/
"There was the original web hoster, and they were great," said Mr. Churm. The problem was, however, that OnlineClock.net somehow made it to the start page of Digg.com. This resulted in the web server breaking down repeatedly under the weight of so much web traffic. Soon thereafter we were asked by our web hoster to simply move our site to a different hosting company, since their web servers were apparently not designed for so much traffic."
Since then, OnlineClock's traffic has grown considerably. OnlineClock.net claims that they are dead serious about providing a dependable alarm clock that can be used online, right in any normal web browser, and that this is why they aren't skimping when it comes to web hosting. This is the reason, claims Mr. Churm, why Online Clock has now successfully completed a move to a "Cloud" Web Hoster. This refers to a web hoster in which resources and bandwidth can be almost infinitely scaled upwards based upon demand. Websites on Cloud Hosters are typically hosted in clusters, and sometimes on virtual machines having several backups. More importantly, a Cloud Hosting set up provides very close to 100% guaranteed up time with full redundancy, so that it's very unlikely that your favorite internet alarm clock will break or go offline.
"When we were considering the move to a Cloud Hoster," said Mr. Churm, we had the choice of going with a cheaper web hoster or simply paying more to get a higher level of dependability. We very clearly chose dependability, even though the cost to us is greater. We have now laid the groundwork for having an Online Alarm Clock Service that will be ubiquitous and omnipresent...and even more dependable than the old wind-up clock in your grandfather's bedroom."
