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.

Apple Today vs Apple 2000

Friday, September 24th, 2010
I thought this was a funny example of Apple back in 2000 compared to Apple today.  With all the advances in technology that we have infront of us.  The things we bought yesterday are outdated and are virtually useless.  Alright, you can still play Oregon Trail on this old 2000 Mac but it’s just not the same as WOW or any of the other games out there.  No, I do not play World of Warcraft but I do know the game.   We have so much technology at our fingertips, why aren’t we using it?  Are we still using old technology to power our future.
Cloud hosting is the way of the future and the way that we can all move from the old iMac g4 to the new iPhone4.  We can’t host our sites on servers that are 10 years old.  That’s a lie, we really can and we do but they aren’t near as good as the brand new Dell blade cloud servers that are available to us. Cloud servers are the way of the future, will you be the one stuck on the old 2000 server or the new 2010 blade cloud servers?  I’m gunna go with the cloud servers!
Stats:
1. Google shows us that sites that load faster, get better ranking.
2. When a person visits a website, you  have 10 seconds to grab their attention before they are gone. If your website takes 10 seconds to load you might as well wave goodbye to that person.
3. Pay less, get more
4. Only pay for what you use.
