Cloud hosting is rapidly becoming a popular option for businesses and even within the social sphere. It can be considered as the next level of shared hosting, whereby companies host a range of different applications across numerous machines through virtualisation rather than sharing the resources of a single, physical machine.

There are a number of reasons why companies are choosing to go down the route of virtualisation and cloud hosting, below are four of the most frequently touted advantages to this form of hosting solution.

First and foremost, the virtualisation approach means that more clients are placed on fewer physical servers. The result is that hardware, maintenance and power costs are reduced for the hosting company, subsequently making it a cheaper deal for clients. Frequently, as a business pays for such as service on a pay as you go, or highly flexible tariff, it is a more suitable and more affordable option for a company's immediate needs.

A cloud hosting plan is a very affordable and profitable form of hosting the main advantages of cloud hosting include the following:
1. A cloud server has a wide range of resources pooled together, therefore the downtime of the server is reduced to a great extent.
2. Scalability doesn’t take time in cloud hosting, you can scale up the resources as per your requirements.
3. Cloud hosting is also the most reliable form of hosting as the details are stored in several places so even is a server goes down, there is no effect on the other servers.
The best part of cloud hosting is the cost effectiveness as you only pay for the resources that you use.

The main advantage of cloud hosting is that you can use the resources that you really need and you only have to pay for them. This is the reason why cloud server hosting is considered to be the most affordable form of hosting.

Generally, a cloud-hosted website is opearting on multiple connected servers. Instead of limited to a single server like what we have in traditional hosting services (dedicated/shared hosting), the website now has the access to multiple servers. Virtually, the processing power is unlimited as you can always add a new server and scale up

The most important thing is that we are using Redundant Shared storage with RAID 10 on our servers and our Cloud setup, so you don't have to worry about disk failure and any hard drive related issues at all .

The user gets the root access with cloud server hosting which is not possible in cloud hosting and there is is a difference in the web hosting configurations offered as well.

Yes the cloud hosting and the cloud server hosting platform only differ in terms of the resources offered. The cloud servers use the Hyper-V and VMWare platforms.
