Server Groups

A server group is a collection of servers that can be linked to one or more shared hosting packages. When a hosting package is linked to a server group, websites added to that package will be provisioned on the servers within that group. Server groups are useful for location-based hosting or ensuring websites are placed on servers with specific specifications.
