What is Cloud Hosting?

[Tommy]

Can you explain me what is Cloud Hosting ?
and how to use it ?

Thanks

Cloud web hosting is a type of web hosting services that uses the resources of several physical servers, which means your website uses the virtual resources of several servers. This advantageous because web hosting services such as (mail, ftp, etc) run on different servers and a failure to one of the services will not cause a device failure.

@hostnurese, Thanks for good explanations
Can I know about price of cloud hosting to shared hosting or VPS
has it more differences ?

 

[HostNurse]

The prices differs from one hosting company to another and shared web hosting would be cheaper than VPS hosting. Note that not all web hosting companies provide could hosting services.

As I mentioned VPS is more expensive, but you have allotted resources that are not shared by everyone. The CPU and memory are shared across all accounts on the machine. You have full control over your server. While with shared hosting you are sharing all resources and you have no control over the server.

For simplification; A dedicated server is like owing/renting an apartment, VPS is like owning/renting a room and shared hosting is like renting a bed in a room.

Cloud web hosting is hosting that uses the resources of several clustered servers. Basically, this means that your website uses the virtual resources of several servers to accommodate all the aspects of hosting your site. The load is balanced, security is taken care of and hardware resources are available virtually so they can be used when needed. The cluster of servers is the cloud.

hey thanks for the explanation ,few more advantage I want to add with this reply:-

1-No dependence on hardware
2-Increased Reliability.
3-Infinite Scalability.
4-Infinite Performance.
5-Resource and Energy Efficiency.

What is Cloud Hosting?
Cloud hosting is based on the most innovative Cloud computing technologies that allow unlimited number of machines to act as one system. Other hosting solutions (shared or dedicated) depend on one machine only, while cloud hosting security is guaranteed by many servers. The cloud technology allows easy integration of extra resources, such as space or RAM and thus enable website growth.

Cloud Hosting Benefits
Highest level of website performance guaranteed by multiple machines
Guaranteed server resources (CPU, RAM)
Redundant data storage
No single point of failure
Website growth flexibility
Lower pricing and generous features

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) which are available in a remote location and accessible over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the common use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.

At the OP, are you looking for something special? Or what?
Is location important for you?

Cloud hosting is a form of hosting solution where the service provider places the hosted data or applications in a cloud environment rather than on dedicated servers. Cloud hosting allows users to avoid costly over-provisioning. Cloud hosting can also be combined with dedicated hosting to create a hybrid hosting environment.

cloud hosting (also called clustered hosting). Cloud hosting is a web hosting service delivered from a group of connected servers. cloud hosting uses a number of servers all connected together.

Some of the advantages are It provides good scalability. Also you can easily increase or decrease resources without moving sites to other servers. Traffic spikes are handled by Cloud.
Cloud provides better uptime compared with other hosting.

Cloud hosting is something which provides hosting for website on the virtual server. It also acts as an alternative to hosting websites on single servers. It is available as a service rather than a product. Cloud hosting have features as Reliability, Physical Security, Scalability and Flexibility, Utility style costing, Responsive load balancing.

Cloud processing is a common term with regard to anything that requires providing hosted services on the internet. These types of solutions are generally separated in to three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was influenced through the cloud symbol which often used to symbolize the actual Internet in flowcharts and layouts.

A cloud service has 3 distinct characteristics which differentiate it through traditional hosting. It really is deeply in love with need, typically through the minute as well as hours; it really is elastic -- users may have whatever amount of the service because they want at any time ; and the service is actually fully managed through the provider (the customer requirements absolutely nothing however a pc and Internet access).

 

[ChadTrejo]

Cloud hosting service provides hosting for websites on virtual server and can be considered as an extension as a concept t of clustered hosting where websites are hosted on multiple server. With cloud hosting the network of servers that are used in vast and often pulled from different data centers in different locations.

Hosting services that are provided to customers via multiple connected servers that comprise a cloud, as opposed to being provided by a single server or virtual server. While security and lack of full control of data are the most frequently cited concerns with cloud hosting, there are numerous benefits possible with cloud hosting, including increased reliability and accessibility, seamless scalability and cost efficiency.
