Cloud Hosting
What is Cloud Website Hosting?
Cloud Based Hosting is a relatively new technology, but is quickly becoming the industry standard in Website Hosting. Cloud platforms provide scalability, flexibility, and elasticity for their users, often operating with a pay-as-you-go system for data, space, or applications. This allows a user to expand or reduce their site’s capabilities depending on their individual needs. Cloud Hosting operates on multiple servers, which “mirror” data across a cluster of processors. This prevents downtime and increases the quality for the website’s visitor.
Cloud Hosting can be a viable solution for both experienced and new users, however the ceiling is much higher for those familiar with coding, analytical analysis, and advanced software application.
