Characteristics of Cloud Hosting

Cloud computing technology has become one of the buzz words in hosting industry today. Cloud hosting is one of the utilization of cloud computing. To put it in simple terms, a cloud is actually a server that can be accessed online. Users can edit and store files and do the related things online. In traditional hosting technologies, a website would be present in one server but in this type of hosting, a website operates on multiple connected server.

A best and real time example of cloud hosting by Google. This is how many users access this search engine simultaneously. Cloud hosting is also an appropriate solution for forums. If we want to host a forum site where some few thousands of users are registered and few hundreds are online most of the time, then cloud hosting is the best solution.

Below are the various characteristics of cloud hosting:

Dynamic Computing:

Cloud hosting easily adjust with user demand; there is no need to rework on the architecture framework because of its ability to compute dynamically.

IT Centric:

Usually the hosting would be service – centric or system -centric. But with cloud hosting, most priority is given to IT centric service. So that users can access the resource in a quick and easy manner.

Pay for consumption:

Users can just pay for what they use rather than paying for the whole package. Rather than that, a website that is on cloud can be accessed through all internet enabled gadgets like mobile, iphone and notebooks.

Pooling:

In this cloud hosting technology, the resources such as bandwidth, memory, processing, data storage and email services are pooled together so that it can be accessed by any one. Simultaneously, these resources can be used and shared by different users.

Flexible:

The unique thing about the cloud hosting is that it is scalable. New demand on bandwidth, data storage and speed of processing can be done with an estimation on the cost. These demand can be adjusted for a specific period of time too.
