The benefits of cloud hosting
Cloud hosting is a relatively new term that some of you may not have heard of. Cloud hosting services provide hosting for websites on virtual servers. The virtual servers pull their computing resource from wide-ranging underlying networks of many physical web servers. Cloud hosting is available as a service rather than a product and is therefore often compared to services such as electricity and gas utilities. It is similar to a pay as you go service where the customer can use as much server space as and when required without having to commit to a huge yearly outlay to which they only use the full capacity of the service once or twice a year. This is a massive benefit to customers who require flexibility at their busy times whilst keeping the costs down of their hosting throughout the rest of the year. It is very secure and also quite competitive in terms of the cost of the service.
