OpenStack-powered Cloud Hosting Services offer a hyper-converged, instantly available, and highly scalable environment. With our user-friendly interface, you can easily build, manage, and monitor your resources. Our cloud provides a shared pool of computing, storage, and networking resources, all expertly managed to ensure service availability, functionality, and redundancy. You have the flexibility to allocate your CPU, RAM, and storage however you wish across as many or as few virtual machines as your resource pool allows.
Your resources operate across multiple servers and storage nodes simultaneously, ensuring that system failures do not impact your services. You can upgrade or downgrade your resources as needed, benefit from transparent resource-based billing, and enjoy the flexibility and collaboration potential of an open-source solution.
Public Cloud and Dedicated Cloud use the same great Sharktech cloud infrastructure, differing only in how you’re billed. You can choose the billing model that best fits your needs, while still enjoying all the features and benefits of our OpenStack-based cloud platform.
Our platform moves beyond rigid VM presets, giving you a resource pool to use however you need. Take an allocation such as 8 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, and 300GB SSD—you’re free to distribute these across multiple VMs in any combination, making it easy to tailor your cloud setup to your changing needs.
To protect you from unexpected charges, our Public Cloud plans (excluding Enterprise and Custom) come with a maximum resource cap, ensuring your bill never spirals out of control. Unlike some other platforms, there is no need to micromanage advanced quotas or navigate confusing interfaces.
Pay-as-you-go cloud: each plan includes a fixed amount of resources. Once you exceed these limits, you’ll only pay hourly for usage above the base.
You receive exactly the resources you order and are billed a fixed amount each month. If you pay for 8 cores, you get 8 cores. No more, no less.

Ready to build your own virtual data center with total independence? Sharktech eliminates restrictive vendor lock-in, giving you unmatched flexibility to customize and manage your cloud infrastructure on your terms. Our solutions are built for you, not for the vendor.
With Sharktech, you get layered safeguards designed from the ground up to protect both your operations and your bottom line. By keeping billing operations separate from infrastructure management, we reduce the risk of cross-system attacks and protect sensitive financial data. This also makes it easy for organizations to assign billing and cloud tasks to different teams without compromising security.

Sharktech’s OpenStack platform empowers developers by providing a comprehensive suite of RESTful APIs to interact with a full range of cloud services, including compute (Nova), storage (Cinder and Swift), networking (Neutron), and identity management (Keystone).
These well-documented APIs are built for automation, orchestration, and seamless integration with third-party tools, allowing you to programmatically manage every aspect of your cloud or virtual data center environment—from deploying virtual machines to building complex network topologies.
Try it hands-on! You can use any library that supports OpenStack, or our example Bash script. All you need is jq and curl. Take a look at the script on the right to see an example of a VM created from our script.
Easy and intuitive control panel allows you to manage your resources with ease.
Get your cloud portal access within seconds! Set up VMs with any configuration instantly.
Fully redundant systems, infrastructure, and network guarantee best-in-industry fault tolerance.
Allocate storage based on your requirements. You can choose between cost-efficient HDD, balanced SSD, and blazing fast NVMe storage.
Deploy your services at any of our data centers: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, or Amsterdam.
All our cloud infrastructure is interlinked via multiple 40G and 100G connections to our optimized redundant network.
Using Sharktech with OpenStack means you’re free from vendor lock-in and fully in control of your cloud resources. Unlike most hosting providers, we give you the flexibility to manage your own virtual machines and images, without restrictions or proprietary barriers.
With Sharktech’s cloud platform, you can upload any VM disk image at any time, whether through the intuitive web portal or directly via API. This makes it easy to migrate existing workloads, experiment with different operating systems, or deploy custom environments tailored to your needs.
Sharktech allows easy access to download your server disk images whenever you want, whether for offsite backup, disaster recovery, or to take with you if you decide to change providers in the future. You’re never locked in or forced to use only Sharktech’s cloud; you retain complete control and ownership over your virtual machines and images.

Data transfer costs are a major concern because they can make up a large part of monthly cloud bills, especially due to high egress (outbound) fees. This pricing model often locks clients into a provider, making it expensive to move data out. Even balanced traffic can result in unpredictable charges due to traffic spikes. Sharktech addresses these concerns with a straightforward approach: no charges for ingress (inbound) traffic and much lower egress fees compared to major cloud providers. This ensures transparent, predictable costs and gives clients true control over their data without lock-in.
NVMe is the fastest cloud storage option, offering low latency and high throughput—ideal for databases, AI workloads, and high-performance applications. However, NVMe is also the most expensive as the performance comes at a cost.
SSDs provide a good balance of speed and cost for general-purpose use. HDDs are slower but more affordable, making them suitable for large archives and backup storage. The right choice depends on your performance needs and budget.
Estimated performance per Volume*:
SSD Storage: 350MB/s – 6,000 IOPs
NVME Storage: 1.2GB/s – 18,000 IOPs
HDD Storage: 120MB/s – 3,000 IOPs
*Results may vary depending on several technical factors.

AWS and other hyperscalers, such as Google and Azure, are known to be quite costly. It’s not a massive problem with big companies, but it can be detrimental to small and medium enterprises. At Sharktech, we guarantee very high quality and at least 40% cost savings compared to hyperscalers.
Cloud Hosting is a form of hyperconverged virtualization that connects infrastructure level resources to a scalable, redundant and easy-to-manage online platform.
Smart VPS is a stand-alone service that allows you to create virtual machines with limited interoperability and resource availability. A cloud is a network of interconnected servers.
A Dedicated Cloud is a prepaid model of Public Cloud Hosting. With Dedicated Cloud, you prepay for the resources you wish to use and can request an increase of these resources at any given time. Public Cloud Hosting allows you to exceed your limit at any given time but be billed for hourly usage.
Yes, you have exclusive access to your resources and are given the functionality to create network and system security measures to enhance your security features.
On-Premise Solutions require expensive early investment in data center solutions (i.e. power redundancy, cooling, physical security), equipment, and a technical team managing these resources, and planning scalability. With our Public Cloud Hosting, you are utilizing our pre-built shared, but secured, cloud hosting environment, which our team manages at a fraction of the cost of on-premise solutions.
While we are indeed a smaller company than those big names, that is not necessarily a bad thing! This allows us to provide you a more focused cost-effective solution. Unlike the big names, our solutions do not run on proprietary software locking your business in place. Instead, we provide you an open-sourced based solution ensuring your success is empowered by your freedom.
