Indeed it's a copy of your drive which isn't booted until it's needed - either
because your site is down or you boot it through your control panel.
That's part of how we keep the price so very low - we need only enough
processors to run any clones which are needed at the moment.
I was a little hesitant to even answer this question because I mentioned Clonebox
once about six months ago, then yesterday I accidently said "Clonebox"
when someone asked about Throttlebox and kandah's been in that thread
and this one saying "that shit has been spammed here alot lately."
So in six months I've mentioned it twice. Jeez, Kandah, I didn't know
answering a question about our stuff a few times per year qualified as
"been spammed here alot lately". I suppose it's just the political season -
everybody is going around inventing ridiculous accusations about everybody else.
The site sure isn't pretty yet. We're waiting for our site designer to get
back to us. We had people asking what we could do for them in this area,
so we figured we'd post some information for now. As Gigolo said, I'm a
mad scientist tech guy, definitely not a Dreamweaver artist, so we just
got the info up there for now while the graphics guy does his thing to make
it pretty.
