Are you using cloud hosting?

Moebuntu · Jul 6, 2016

Recently I have been thinking about what web hosting to use, and my friend suggested me to choose a cloud hosting. He said it's easy to scale your RAM or CPUs if needed, also having better uptime. I checked out some offers it's pretty expensive. I am just thinking if I can upgrade my web hosting plan anytime I want, why would I go for cloud hosting? are you guys here using cloud hosting? do you give some reviews about it. Thanks

Hi Moebunto

The back end of what powers products listing as cloud hosting is normally a powerful VPS which is using virtualization technology such is OnAPP which allows that VPS to be independent of underlying hardware, If a hardware failure happens the cloud simply assigns spare resources giving almost 100% uptime.

Your own VPS is the same thing apart from the server is your own instead of shared.
Cloud hosting is far better than your site being depended on a single server. If something happens to that server, your site is toast until it is repaired or moved to another server.

Hope this helps

Hello @Moebuntu
As LJS mentioned OnApp is a grate feature of many Cloud hosting and so is the up time. while it might not be always 100%, its the best you will get out of a normal hosting vs Cloud hosting.

Cloud hosting is not as expensive as you think, some companies see it as an marketing opportunity which leads to higher prices. Take a look at the link below, you will find many affordable cloud hosting:

To be honest it's not really that more expensive, I think you must be looking at some expensive providers.

Yes, most virtualization products are based on container technology. Containers from virtualbox to enterprise products like OnAPP allow you to spin up a virtual machine and install an operating system on it to serve websites in a matter of minutes.

The cloud hosting is more secured and uptime is better if you are not running a managed vps. Just that in most cases cloud hosting is more expensive.

Hi @Moebuntu, Most virtualization technology have actually has a little to do with the "containers" as a term in virtualization. "Containers" refers to an OS Virtualization where the virtual instances are simulated copies of the underlying software environment.

OS Virtualization is not a used on the Cloud. One of the reason is that when a computing system uses OS virtualization each guest virtual instance must use the Operating system used by the underlying physical server= This just does not work on the Cloud.

The uptime "should be" better with cloud hosting, but several company are already using cloud technology like Openstack with a fault-tolerance on classic VPS.

But it's not more secured, if you don't use ssh keys, there is always a risk with SSH bruteforce

Yes cloud hosting is a best It technique in which users can store its private data online. There are lot of cloud hosting services and applications worldwide. But choosing a secure cloud hosting is not easy. But all the public and private sectors are using cloud technology. I am using a Techarex Networks for my QuickBooks.

I have to agree with HostColor
Useless replies should be limited

And regarding the cloud hosting, we already have answer this in other post. Cloud hosting is not the next sexy and it is more suitable for developers and applications. The recent downtime (network issue) of Vultr before 2 days is another proof that cloud hosting is not providing better uptime than regular VPS hosting. But that would be issue for those who believe in the no-matter-what 100% uptime

Yes my friend I am using cloud hosting services for last 2 years. I am using Techarex Networks hosting services for my business and account handling. They are reliable and fast in giving solutions.

SiteGround cloud hosting uses a highly advanced virtualization system which guarantees dedicated server resources for each website on the cloud.

Cloud hosting is far better than your site being depended on a single server. If something happens to that server, your site is toast until it is repaired or moved to another server.

Yes, I've been using cloud hosting from last several years and within this period of time, I never got disappointed since cloud hosting offers plenty of benefits. So, my personal experience is to start using cloud hosting for your business, you get a hassle-free environment to work.

arjie7 · Sep 12, 2017

Yes. I've been using cloud hosting, because it really helps to keep my files safe. Also, wherever I am, I can easily access my stuffs whenever i need it. For me, it makes my business so easy and hassle free. I would really like to recommend you guys to have cloud hosting especially for those people having business.

Kieranlewix · Sep 24, 2017

Yes I have.In fact,we all have and still do.Cloud hosting is not only used by business owners.If you have a Google account,Facebook account,LinkedIn,Twitter,Yahoo and many other email and social networking platforms then you are indirectly using cloud hosting service.We indirectly use the cloudhosting services by using all the platforms and email services listed above.

I'm using cloud hosting for my projects, and I've found the scalability and uptime to be incredibly beneficial, especially as my needs fluctuate. Yes, it's pricier, but the ability to scale resources precisely and handle traffic spikes without a hitch is a huge plus. Traditional hosting might offer upgrades, but it's not as flexible or quick to adjust as cloud hosting. In my experience, if your site's performance and scalability are top priorities, cloud hosting is worth the investment.
