Cloud hosting

What is cloud hosting?

Generally, a cloud-hosted website is operating on multiple connected servers.
Instead of limited to a single server like what we have in traditional hosting services (dedicated/shared hosting), the website now has the access to multiple servers.
Virtually, the processing power is unlimited as you can always add a new server and scale up.

Benefits of cloud hosting

Cloud hosting benefits the users in various ways.
It’s scalability and cost efficient is the commonly known advantages.
As the technology is highly scalable (load balancing, hardware upgrades, etc), website expansion can be done with minimum limitations.
Think about the hassle of migrating your website from a shared server to a dedicated server;
think about server crash when your website experienced a sudden surge – all these problem can be avoided easily by switching to cloud hosting.
Cost is another huge plus if you need a lot of processing power.
Cloud hosting companies charge their users based on the quantity of computing power consumed.
It’s like your electricity and water supply bills – it’s pay-per-use thus gone are the days where you need to reserve massive server powers to avoid website crash from sudden traffic surge.
