Cloud Hosting : Future of Webhosting ?

[Jan]

I will honestly appreciate your views and opinions about "Cloud Hosting". Is it going to prove itself to be a cost effective solution over the current web hosting trends? If not how will cloud hosting sustain in this very competitive market of web hosting?

When a website is hosted in a Cloud hosting architecture, it uses the combined resources of all the servers. The Cloud technology architecture provides a highly Fast and redundant network in addition to that somewhere I have read that one needs to pay for the resources that have been used. Hence I feel this would be an added advantage to Cloud hosting.
Though Cloud hosting is in its initial stages, so there should not be any impact on the traditional web hosting techniques, but eventually as the Cloud hosting might replace it.

I think Cloud hosting is the next big thing in the Hosting Industry. It seems that Cloud hosting is inspired from Cluster setup as Cloud hosting also involves a number of Servers. However, it is not possible to give some more information about it as Cloud hosting is in the Initial Development stages at the moment.

Well i think that it might happen after sometime that cloud hosting will become future. But it was not easy to exhaust present companies so frequently, as now a days many people' s are engaged in business through web hosting, and companies are also providing good and cheap services by which anyone can easily use it.

The practice or a way to run Web Applications in the "cloud" is known as Cloud Hosting. An interconnection of external, virtual servers, collectively, either on a corporate network or via the public Internet is the basic principle of Cloud Hosting. To provide highly scalable, reliable resource that can be available with little or no regard to the underlying technology or physical location of system is an idea behind Cloud Hosting.

Sources say that Cloud Hosting will be highly Reliable and will offer Customers 100% Uptime guarantee which would be certainly very great. However, we will have to wait and see if the information is correct.

Yes Indeed, we can expect Cloud Hosting to provide 100% uptime guarantee to the customers as pre-existing Clustering and Load Balancing techniques are used in Cloud architecture.

The best part of Cloud would be the pricing, customers would be charged on a "Pay per Usage" basis,which means the customer pays only for the amount of service actually used. This would be an added advantage of Cloud Hosting. Cloud can prove to be useful in terms of Customer satisfaction.

I personally think cloud hosting is way better at least from what I heard and read about it. he costs are competitive with regular hosting and the benefits are of great value to very high-volume sites.

"In a cloud hosting setup, several different servers provide access to the site's resources. Typically, there is a great deal of redundancy built into the system so that a video file may be available on several hard drives instead of just one, for instance. If ten users all request that video file at the same time, five of them can be routed to one server and five to the other, thus halving the amount of bandwidth demanded of each server. This array of servers constitutes the "cloud"."

This can be very helpful in outsourcing businesses or remote communications with business partners and the like.

cloud hosting should help most people..because you're not only limited to one server..also with cloud hosting you wont have to bother or worry when a server crashes the problem could be avoided..also having your website tranferred to a server needs so much effort.. cloud hosting is just practical to use....
