Not exactly! Cloud computing and managed hosting are entirely two different layers – compute resource and management resource. Managed hosting layer sits on the top of the resource layer.
Cloud hosting provides elastic, on-demand, and cost-effective computing resources to the businesses. It enables businesses to move from onsite IT setup to resilient, elastic and reliable servers. On the other hand, managed hosting helps in consolidating, managing, streamlining and securing these compute resources. Managed hosting enables businesses to effectively manage complex networking, compliance and SLAs.
