Cloud Hosting
Hosting websites and applications used to be a matter of subscribing to a digital platform provider and essentially renting the use of a single server or computing cluster. Web hosting services have been around as long as the web itself. In the last decade, cloud hosting—where the website or app lives on virtual servers spread throughout the cloud—has become a prominent method of bringing digital assets online. Ready to get started?
How does cloud hosting work?
Cloud hosting works through the process of virtualization .With a virtual private server, a virtual layer is created on the server where content and other data can be stored. Those virtual layers can then be replicated on other servers on the cloud computing network, spread throughout other different regions across the world.
Types of cloud hosting models
Public cloud
Public cloud environments offer readily available, shared resources accessible over the internet. These resources, including servers, storage, and networking, cater to multiple users, fostering a cost-effective and highly scalable solution.
Private cloud
Private cloud environments offer dedicated resources for a single organization. These resources can be located on-premises within your data center or hosted by a service provider with a segregated infrastructure.
Multi-cloud
The multi-cloud deployment model combines multiple cloud services (public, private, or hybrid) to optimize cost, security, and performance while enabling a customized environment for specific workloads.
Why use cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting allows website and applications operators to add or remove resources when necessary. That includes more RAM, storage space, or support services such as security or data storage. Cloud hosting provides reliability and flexibility at a manageable cost. Cloud hosting also provides robust data backup and disaster recovery compared to shared or dedicated hosting on a single server.
Advantages of cloud hosting
Scalability
Because cloud hosting does not rely on a single server to store and deliver content, it can be easily scaled to meet the demands of a website or application by spinning up more servers across the cloud network when usage increases.
Flexibility
Cloud hosting allows for the freedom to use the appropriate solution that any situation requires by instantly provisioning the parameters of the virtual machines across the network.
Security
Cloud providers ensure strong physical and virtual security, protecting website and app data from threats. Security layers include firewalls, identity management, access control, and SSL encryption.
Performance
Faster load times and better reliability with distributed servers. Cloud hosting provides better performance, with servers in different regions bringing content to users faster.
Reliability
Because cloud hosting takes advantage of many servers spread across the cloud network, it provides great reliability and uptime. If one server on the network fails, another server can fill in and still provide service.
Cost
Cloud hosting often works on a pay as you go model, meaning that costs can also be scaled up or down depending on usage. In contrast, web hosting typically works on a monthly or annual flat fee.
