Cloud hosting makes applications and websites accessible using cloud resources. Unlike traditional hosting, solutions are not deployed on a single server. Instead, a network of connected virtual and physical cloud servers hosts the application or website, ensuring greater flexibility and scalability.
Key features:
Applications and solutions are deployed on a cloud network rather than an on-premises, single server.
Resources scale to user needs.
Organizations only pay for the resources they use.
Cloud hosting can support SQL (including MySQL) or NoSQL databases.
Solutions are automated and controlled using APIs, web portals, and mobile apps.
Benefits of Cloud Hosting
1. Flexible Pricing Structure
In most other styles of hosting you pay a monthly rate regardless of whether to not you utilize all of the server resources. With cloud hosting, you only pay for what you use.
So, if you’re expecting a post to go viral, or your site is receiving an unusually large amount of traffic, you don’t have to completely upgrade your package. All you have to do is scale your resources up during the traffic surge and down once traffic levels return to normal. Instead of having to pay for high hosting fee across the board your pricing matches the total amount of server resources you’re using.
2. Very Easy to Scale Server Resources
