Abstract

Processes for classifying, and dynamically adjusting, tiers for web services are described. Depending on the classification of the web service, support resources (e.g. servers, storage, bandwidth or other communications resources, etc.) may be configured in different ways, such as, for example, sharing resources among one or more of the web services, or isolating the resources for particular web services from those of other web services. Various electronic storefronts may be provided by a service provider to merchants/customers of the service provider. The service provider may classify each of the electronic storefronts for the merchants to a plurality of tiers. Such classifying may be performed, for example, during an enrollment of the merchant with the service provider, and/or during operation of the electronic storefront.
