What is cloud hosting?

Take a moment to watch the video to understand what is cloud hosting. Be ready to accept the fact!

Shared hosting is the most popular hosting solution that can suit most company with tight budget. However, user has to share resources with other users on one shared resource. If your website is hosted on shared hosting server, you and other user will share same server resources such as CPU, Memory, disc space, bandwidth etc. All your data and application will be hosted on same server with other user application on shared basis. Each user will be imposed a limit of usage for the underlying server resources and share a portion of cost running a full server. All users will fully utilize the server resources and cause high server loading. If one user overload the server, other users may suffers low speed or downtime.

On cloud hosting, more than one server are configured to work as if it is a single server. Even one user overloads and break one of the server, all users may not see the interruption or downtime. Cloud management system has moved the affected cloud to working server without the notice of all users. Cloud hosting overcome the shortfall of shared hosting and reduce or elimnate the impact of server downtime.

Why choose cloud hosting?

Based on the report by Forrester Research, SaaS(one tier of cloud computing including cloud hosting) is growing dynamically and continously in companies.

In the world of cloud computing, SaaS (Software as a Service) represents most of the market. While other components, PaaS (Platform as a Service), IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and BPaaS ( Business Platform as a Service) experiencing strong growth, the SaaS application appearance seduces businesses. Forrester notes that services offered via this technology is very standardized and shared resources are massively limiting customization offers.
