Cloud Hosting: A Summary

Cloud hosting is the latest hosting platform which involves the use of internet for delivering hosted services. With cloud hosting, every required resource from computing power to computing infrastructure, applications, storage, business processes and more can be delivered to you as a service wherever and whenever you need.

The term ‘Cloud hosting’ has been inspired from the ‘cloud’ symbol used to represent Internet in computer network diagrams and flow charts and denotes the complex infrastructure of the Internet. In cloud hosting, the ‘cloud’ is the set of hardware, networks, storage, services and interfaces that enables the delivery of required resources to the users.

Based on user demand, cloud services include the delivery of resources (such as infrastructure, storage etc.), either as separate components or a complete platform, over the Internet. Unlike traditional hosting where your resources are limited to just one server, Cloud hosting services make use of the power of many servers. The resources required for maintaining any website successfully are spread across these web servers.

You can access these resources as and when needed through cloud hosting in order to maintain your website. This new web hosting technique can be distinguished from ‘traditional’ hosting by its three distinct features.

Cloud hosting is elastic which means that the consumer can have as much or as little hosting required at any given time. The service is sold on demand, where you will only have to pay for the amount of hosting that is used, and it is fully managed by the provider.
