What are Cloud Hosting Services?
Cloud Hosting is the process of procuring computing resources, that is, data, from a cloud computing provider or an actual facility which hosts data, solutions and other such solutions. The Process of Cloud Hosting is a Service that differs greatly from Sharing a Server or Renting a Dedicated Server, with all of the pros and none of the cons.
Why is it Different from Sharing a Server or Renting a Dedicated Server?
A Shared Server: Filled to bursting
Imagine an aquarium, filled to the brim with fish. This is the condition of the average Shared Server: The shared resources, like CPU, RAM etc., are stretched thin between all the users. This helps in the fact that it has almost negligible costs, but the average speed may make you throw your PC away.
Many a times, we see businesses overestimate their needs and end up paying for a huge amount of computing resources like CPU and RAM, more than half which they do not require.
A Cloud Hosted Server: The middleman
Now, stretching the metaphor to an all-time thin, imagine a huge aquarium, divided into many private sections for the fish. This is the average Cloud Server: A certain amount of resources allocated to each user so that they do not encroach on each other’s speed. A number of Data Center Hosting Companies offer various cloud-based services.
This is the perfect setting, as when you need more space, you can simply rent more space, or in the case of reducing space, rent less space. The best of the pros are: You only pay for the resources you use, not a pre-determined package. One of the few cons of Could Hosting is that is costs more than a Shared Server, but that is canceled by the fact that you receive prodigal speeds.
