Advantages of cloud web hosting

**kappa84** · 07-27-2010 01:35 PM

We should start this thread by first explaining what exactly is cloud web hosting ? A cloud web hosted site means that specific website is operating on multiple web hosting servers, connected one to each other. While dedicated hosting and shared hosting are limited by a single server, a website hosted with that method has access to almost unlimited process power while once it gets limited, a news server can be added so the power level goes higher. The benefits of using cloud servers is obvious here.
Cloud web hosting advantages differ from user to user, but two of its are the cost and scalability. A website operating under a cloud web hosting platform has almost no limitations in its future expansions : no problems with migrating a website from let’s say a shared server to a dedicated one, not server crash and so on. On the other hand, the price is somehow related to how much of the computing power one website is using, therefore when the website is not under load it uses less power, but when traffic boosts arise the reserve provided by the cloud servers is more than enough to handle its.
With these days’ cloud web hosting providers’ offers, there is no obstacle in using the more robust cloud web hosting instead of shared/dedicated ones.

Frees Up Internal Resources: By placing storage and server needs in the hands of an out sourcer, a company essentially shifts the burden placed on its in-house IT team to a third-party provider. The result: In-house IT departments can focus on business-critical tasks without having to incur additional costs in manpower and training.

I like the new concept & cloud hosting with VPS networks very much. but keep in mind that your website content is still SOMEWHERE on some server. and if the right server crashes ( nameserver for example ) that holds and manages the location of your scripts/content you r still fucked : )
