Cloud hosting offers the client the best of both the worlds –
shared hosting and dedicated hosting.
Cloud server hosting work in quite a similar fashion as physical servers. However, their functionalities are different. In cloud hosting, the client rents space in a
virtual server, whereas in the other options, they either rent or buy physical servers.
Cloud hosting servers can effectively meet the requirements of both small and mid-sized businesses, with different needs and workloads. They can be configured to offer the level of performance and control of a
dedicated server, but at a much lesser cost. The client pays for the exact amount of space and resources they use, and can easily scale up and down as per their requirements. In most instances, they pay for the usage on an hourly basis. Resources are made available to them almost instantly. They can upgrade the RAM, CPU, and disk space within minutes. They can effectively utilize the tools available for auto-scaling, auto-management, and auto-provisioning. There is tremendous ease of set up and the level of reliability offered is phenomenal. Most businesses find this option extremely cost-effective, and that’s another reason behind its popularity.
