6 Reasons Why You Should Consider Cloud Hosting
Cloud Hosting is a flexible, powerful and more cost-effective for website owners. If you’re experiencing, or expecting, high volumes of web traffic, cloud hosting could be for you. If you want a web host that will grow with your site and mould around you in terms of traffic, resources and cost, cloud hosting is the best bet.
What is Cloud Hosting?
The easiest way to describe cloud hosting is to imagine hundreds of computer servers in the sky. With cloud hosting, your website data and resources are shared out between them. If one server goes down, for instance, you’ll simply switch to another one, seamlessly. If you get a sudden spike of traffic, more cloud servers will pop up to take the strain. If your traffic dies down, the servers will disappear again. It’s flexible, mouldable and responsive to your needs. It’s a step up from traditional ‘shared hosting’ which places all your data on just one server. With shared hosting, you’re also sharing that server with hundreds of other websites, all fighting for the same resources and space. When your website is big enough to outgrow shared hosting, a cloud option gives you more resources and more flexibility.
