So many web host here in the usa are starting to offer Cloud Hosting

You may wonder, What is Cloud Hosting ? Im starting to hear more about it

Cloud hosting in short-term is basically like clustered web hosting It uses a number of servers all connected together (a cloud), and sites on the servers can use resources from all the servers in that cloud. Processing power, hard drives, and memory are shared. Servers can be easily added or removed as necessary, and if one server is down, sites use resources from other servers instead.

The Advantages:

  • You pay for only the resources you need.
  • It provides good scalability. You can easily increase or decrease resources without moving sites to other servers.
  • Servers can be deployed instantly.
  • It provides better uptime than other types of web hosting.
  • Traffic spikes aren't a problem; the cloud can handle them.
  • If the servers are in different datacenters, datacenter problems can be less of a concern.
  • Different technologies can be used together that can't be used together without cloud hosting. For example, .php and .asp files can work on the same site, even in the same folder, drawing on technologies within the cloud.
  • You don't need to install hardware or software. Instead, you connect with a cloud that has the hardware or software you need.



The Disadvantages:

  • Lack of root access means less control.
  • Sites using cloud hosting can still have downtime if the connections between servers aren't working.
  • As a relatively new service, it doesn't have a long track record.
  • It isn't widely offered or used as of yet aside the USA and the UK.


I welcome you all to discus
