Cloud hosting : Solution for Small Business

Cloud hosting has become buzz word in the hosting industry today because this kind of hosting benefits the users from various angles. Unlike the traditional hosting where the site is hosted on a single server, in cloud hosting, the site will be hosted on multiple servers. This ensures the uninterrupted service even during any issues in any one of the server. Compared to other hosting techniques, cloud hosting is very economical because of the reason that we pay for what we use.

Generally, the expensive shared and dedicated hosting best fits for stable and large and established companies because their income largely depends on online businesses. But when we speak about the small and budding companies, cloud hosting is the ideal solution. When the website goes down, it is obviously going to impact the business, but cloud hosting overcomes this downtime, by providing an continuous sservice. Moreover, no frequent downtime issues will be experienced when we choose this kind of hosting.

The cloud storage will be of much help to the small companies for which database storage becomes the prime factor. The data would be safe and would function with high performance. Data centric problems can be avoided in cloud hosting because our site is hosted on different servers.

Even when the small business grows in a big way and there is need to open new branches. When we use some other hosting package, problem arises when you want to expand your website. In the conventional hosting techniques difficulties occur in the transfer of site from one server to another server whereas in cloud hosting we have the server is located in secure data center and site can be easily transferred. Cloud hosting can eliminate the hassle of expensive hardware replacement.

How to avoid downtime when we change the web hosting provider?

It is very obvious for any customer to change the service when they are not satisfied. It is applicable to web hosting business too when the customer service is not satisfying,or if any diskspace and bandwidth related issues exist. During this process, if we don’t have enough experience and skills, it might lead to downtime. This can be avoided if we follow certain steps. We will discuss about it here.

The very first step is to take a backup of all the files from the older server that has to be transferred to the new server. All the files such as images files, database files and text files have to be taken backup. Though it is hectic and a long process it is very important. For backing up DB files, the phpmyadmin in the control panel can be used and for transferring the other files, we can use FTP and transfer it to the local hard drive.

The next step is to upload the files into new server. During this upload process, making sure the path name is correct is very important. It is preferable to use database upload software for this process. When some error occurs in the file path, during the migration process, we will have to encounter the errors.

The third step is to add the email accounts to the new servers. After it is done, the 4^th step is to test the temporary mirror site on your new server. All aspects such as functionality, images everything has to be checked out. If any errors occur in the database connection etc in the mirror site we have to correct it immediately.

The last important step is to change the domain name. It means that we are instructing the registrars that we are changing the domain name. We can update the DNS servers. It is a common mistake to change the DNS beforehand. If this process carried out, then the site will be down during migration. After 48 hours the DNS will be updated after which we can access the site.
