As A Fairly New Technology What Are Some of the Common Complaints About Cloud Hosting Solutions?

By Katay Don Sasorith


Having become a buzz word amongst the industry, cloud hosting is seem by many as the networking and server technology of the future. The cloud host has a long way to go to live up to the potential this solution eludes might be possible, as there are ideas for future functionality that we have yet to figure out. While the cloud is by no means perfect, there were a few concerns brought up regarding cloud computing when it was first introduced, but thankfully these complaints are no longer issues when it comes to the cloud.

A cloud host, as its fundamental level gives you the ability to, as like the options you currently receive from your dedicated server hosting options, have access to a huge amount of resources and customize your server to all your needs with advanced functionality, storage capacity and fast data transfers. There is far less physical hardware required for this server and networking solution, meaning the main difference is that these are virtual, not physical services that means that maintenance, upgrades, and even troubleshooting can be done remotely.

Many businesses have found this to be an attractive option as a cloud host is often a more cost effective solution that a traditional dedicated server hosting solution, even though it is the most advanced and cutting edge technology available. Cheaper for the hosting company as well, due to the lack of necessary hardware inputs, significant savings get passed down to the customer. Through the use of highly sophisticated add ons such as cloud control panels, working in a virtual environment makes even the most complex tasks easier to manage.

Cloud hosts, as with VMWare hosting and dedicated server hosting solutions, give you the ability for full functionality and complete customization of your server to all the needs of your business. One of the early complaints about cloud hosts was that there was really no way to completely ensure that your "instance" (what a cloud session is referred to) was truly private and secure. A lot of red flags were raised in the minds of businesses who were considering early adoption.

Solutions to these problems became available fairly shortly after they were noted. Through the use of virtual private networks, a cloud host is now just as safe, if not more so, that the information on a physical dedicated server is. It now competes in terms of functionality with other solutions, making it very attractive for many businesses.

In the early stages, another common complaint was in reference to the difficult cloud servers had running multiple applications simultaneously, the server would get bogged down, and at worst, your instance would be shut down meaning that the entire application will have to be started again from the beginning. There are now a huge variety of software solutions for the cloud host that maximize the efficiency that the cloud server processes necessary daily application processing, making these operations run smoothly and without issue. And in these easy to use environments, you no longer have to physically initialize certain tasks, it is easy to automate a lot of important, yet tedious daily functions, freeing up more time for you to focus on your business.
