How Cloud Hosting Functions And Powers Hosting

By Katay Don Sasorith


While many or us are familiar with the popular Windows commercials where computer users, for various reasons, shout "to the cloud", those of who actually know what a cloud is and how for example Xen hosting works is very slim. But this is an option that, for anyone who owns an online business, should be looked into a cloud server and seriously considering as the networking and server solution of choice. Cloud hosting is seen and considered by many to be the "wave of the future" in networking due to the capabilities this option allows for.

The cloud, in its basic form, allows for the pooling of resources from a large number of different computers in a way that lets you allocate them to processes and applications that need them most, using a virtual environment. For the home user, this means that the resources of all computers in the home can be "networked" for the sharing of resources. But for businesses, many don't have the amount of resources at their disposal that it takes to run the daily processes and applications necessary to run their business. This doesn't mean that a business interested in a cloud network is out of luck.

Cloud hosts are network server hosting companies that specialize in cloud networking. This means that just as with the traditional dedicated server, you purchase your resources through them and have access to all the resources, functionalities, and customization that you can get with a traditional physical server. But without all the hardware hassles and issues when it comes to maintenance. You pay for your services monthly with cloud hosting, just as you would with any other networking solution. Your network is managed in a virtual environment as opposed to a physical server. As it is simplified and easy to use, there are many who are seeing clearly the great benefits that working in a virtual environment can have for their business.

When you choose a cloud host, your options are in no way limited. Versus the dedicated server, they compare favorably on every count. This networking solution can be completely customized the exact needs of your business, just as you can with a physical dedicated server. Cloud hosting also gives you all the speed and reliability when it comes to data transfers. With virtual private network technology, cloud servers are now as secure as dedicated servers, and offer the same level of advanced functionalities that physical servers do. Technology, as it always does, continues to advance, meaning soon these options will surpass the capabilities of the vaunted dedicated server.

What makes these options most attractive is, perhaps, the fact that these are less frustrating and less expensive alternatives to the physical dedicated server. As these are virtual servers, there is a minimal amount of hardware, and now, maintenance and other tasks can be performed remotely. This leaves to savings that are passed on to you as a business owner. During these trying economic times, we are all acutely aware of the positive advantage of any sort of savings.

Look into your options for cloud hosting today to see how it could benefit our business and help you save a bit of money as well.
