In regular hosting, whether all the resources are utilized or not, a customer will always have to pay for the contracted resources that they signed up for. That monthly cost translates directly into wasted operating expenses. Cloud hosting is different from traditional hosting in that it doesn’t lock customers into expensive contracts that are based on calculating resources to meet their peak demands.
Cloud computing allows customers to scale vertically and horizontally, and based on the demands of their users, it ensures there are plenty of resources at any given time. If a traffic spike occurs, you can scale up to meet demands. After the traffic trails off, it’s just as easy to scale down. And if additional components are added, you simply adjust capacity as needed.
