what is Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of web hosting available and is slowly being taken up by most web hosting providers since cloud hosting services allow web hosting providers to offer web hosting services which will come with an uptime guarantee of either 100% or very close to that if 100% isn’t completely achievable. Cloud hosting services make use of a number of different servers meaning that there will always be at least one server available to cope with the load that is going to be put on the cluster, and in most situations each server is generally assigned to perform a single task meaning that a single web hosting package will never be relying on a single server in a cloud web hosting environment. Most web hosting providers are able to offer a wide variety of web hosting packages hosted in a cloud hosting environment meaning that regardless of your requirements you should be able to find a cloud hosting service that will meet your requirements effectively.

The main attraction of cloud hosting for most people is the levels of reliability that are on offer, and at the end of the day you should ensure that reliability is one of the main factors that you consider in a web hosting package if you wish to find a web hosting service which will meet your requirements properly; your chosen form of web hosting can generally affect the level of reliability that you are going to be guaranteed, but with cloud hosting services all web hosting services are generally offered with the same high uptime guarantee. Cloud hosting is recommended if you are running a business and you rely on your website for a source of income since in such a situation justifying the cost of a cloud hosting package should be easy for you; in such cases you will find that you are losing money if your website is down for whatever reason, and by choosing a cloud hosting package you can be sure that you won’t have to worry about downtime by any means. The system architecture of a cloud hosting environment means that at the moment only larger web hosting providers are able to offer cloud hosting services, and this means that cloud web hosting services can be quite expensive regardless of the web hosting provider you go through; many servers are required to make a cloud hosting environment workable, and because of this only larger web hosting providers have the funds and resources that will allow them to get started with cloud hosting - smaller web hosting providers are likely to lack both.
