To put in simple language it means a hosting spread across a cloud, that is multiple servers. when one server goes down another server takes over, that way a user gets 100% uptime. according to me cloud is the latest buzz now and the best solution for users who have important websites, it is very flexible and reliable too.

Some core feature of cloud hosting are as follows client can easily Resource Scheduler, with hight VMware availability and with an Dedicated Memory for your websites as well as dedicated IPs with the Root SSH / RDP Access which makes cloud more effective as compared with other hosting plans .

For me it is a hosting with 100% uptime.. a cluster of servers make it reliable for users.. the 100% uptime guarantee is indeed relieving
