What Is A Cloud Server?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

The service that is delivered from a network of servers which are connected is referred to as cloud hosting. It is also referred to a cluster hosting. This network of servers is more often than not located at various data centers around the world. They do not have to be located in the same data center. That is how versatile it is.

This type of hosting allows the user to have flexibility. They are able to purchase the resources that they need instead of being limited to what the previous hosting options had to offer. The user is also able to expand or decrease these resources as the need arises without the fear of additional overheads and extra inventory. They are in turn provided with uninterrupted connectivity.

There are other benefits to cloud hosting. Fist of all it is rather cost effective. The clients are only billed for what they use. There is no need to worry about a jump in the cost when traffic surges. The extra bandwidth is not required as everything is load balanced. This type of hosting also provides better performance, flexibility and much better security features. The client can make their contribution to saving the environment as they do not require as much hardware and as a result they use less power.

If you have a small internet business or are just starting out then this type of hosting is for you. Once you have decided to use cloud hosting you can concentrate on building that business without any added concerns or the need to recruit extra staff. It is great for those who are on a very tight budget.

Not so long ago it required a number of IT persons to do what can now be done by one person in no time. You are able to launch your own server with your own code in merely a matter of minutes. It is unbelievably easy to use.

The need to contact the host to increase or decrease your bandwidth is fast becoming archaic with this new type of hosting. Cloud hosting is amazingly affordable with all the options that it has to offer.

Cloud Hosting Basics

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Cloud hosting also referred to as enterprise hosting is currently the most trendy and reliable hosting solutions available nowadays. Since its inception it has eliminated a number of problems and challenges that can occur with hosting. This type of hosting has many benefits. A few of these are highlighted below.

The first thing that can be noted about this type of hosting is that it is a group of clustered servers which share processing speed, hard drives, memory and power among other things. It is extremely cost effective and allows for scalability. The joy of this type of hosting is that if for example one of the servers crash then all that has to be done is to get the malfunctioning server replaced.

Cloud hosting is the number one choice for small to medium businesses as it provides consistent service. Due to the cluster of servers that it possesses there is no chance of work being delayed or disrupted. The advantage of this too is that it allows for faster downloads and also offers the option of having more than one hardware or software to be downloaded simultaneously without slowing down the process.

Unlike the long-established hosting methods the user is able to have more than one code as various servers can support different codes. The user is able to have ASP and PHP files. There is no longer the need to make a choice.

Larger businesses are not be left out as they too can benefit from the cluster of servers. It can be quite beneficial on days which the business gets an excess amount of traffic. The resources are more than available to deal with this upsurge.

There are three basic types of enterprise or cloud hosting. There is Private hosting, Public hosting and Hybrid hosting. With these entire options one would think that it would be a costly venture but it is quite the opposite. It is most affordable especially for the newer businesses. The only costs that you would incur are those for the power and space that you utilize. Resources can be added and removed as they are needed.
