Is cloud hosting ok for my business.

intlum10 · Dec 7, 2016

We are going to set up a business rather a NGO in rural India where teachers have to log in to a page online from remote rural locations. Our web developers advised us to use cloud hosting as it is best in rural areas. But we are not convinced. We heard that it is not at all stable. It is not all secured. Then is there any option for me.Or We have to manage? All comments are welcomed.

Hi intlum10

Cloud hosting is simply a server that has fail over protection making it very stable and almost impossible to fail, and is highly recommend. However as has been discussed many times on this forum " Cloud Hosting " is very much an over used buzzword and unless you understand what cloud techology is and can ask specific questions to a provider it can be hard to really know if you are hosted on a cloud or not. I would suggest a cloud shared account for your site, you can always upgrade to a cloud VPS if your needs require more power in the future.

All the best to you with your business.

If you are planning to migrate your business to the cloud, I would say it is the best decision since cloud emphasizes on numerous benefits and the best thing of the cloud is that it will benefit your business so that your employees can work from anywhere it just require the internet connection. And talking about security, cloud focuses on providing cent percent security since it applies end-to-end encryption and multi-level authentication process to the data and application you use. I highly recommend you switch to the cloud, you will enjoy and gain all the benefits at the top.

The region you'll be accessing this service from isn't related to the type of hosting you'll be using. What you've been speaking about is regarding "routing paths", and you would need to check in your region, which are the available routing paths, through the telecommunication carriers you'll be reaching internet, that offers the shortest path to the datacenter you'll select to provide you the services you are looking for, this is, if you are prioritizing quality and response time for the services you'd be providing.

If your company is in need of redundancy and availability then cloud is for you.

For Small and Medium businesses is Cloud hosting is best. If you are take Cloud hosting so you have receive world class security from Cloud hosting provider company which is using those company for create security of own database center and server.

Yes and No. From what I feel your web developers are probably just trying cash out more from the tradition hosting which your NGO should just do fine with. Cloud Hosting is a new term which people try to use to sell shared hosting nowadays. An Actual Cloud Hosting is when you are provided with a standalone VM which is deployed on a Cloud Infrastructure which I highly doubt your developers are going to be doing. They will probably be telling you to go with Cloud Hosting which basically is a Shared Hosting service on a Cloud Server ( Not a dedicated resource ).

Here is what you should do. Find a Hosting who's servers are located in India or Singapore this will ensure the Pings to be as low as possible which would result in faster browsing on even mediocre Internet speeds ( Rural India will barely be able to get 2-4 Mbps up/down links )

Secondly, try to go with reputable providers such as A2Hosting. ( Be Far Away from HostGator, BlueHost and other EIG Brands they have pathetic support and their services aren't that great in India )

hello,

is cloud web hosting better than vps hosting?

I use the Windows VPS hosting and Linux hosting .. can someone please explain the relationship quality / price of VPS and cloud

hfav · Mar 13, 2017

VPS:
Using virtualization technology one physical server divided into several smaller servers. If physical server failed all smaller servers will fail.

Cloud:
Cloud platform uses multiple servers connected together in a cluster. Cloud use Shared Distributed Storage or SAN Storage. Your VPS server or Cloud service will be always available. One physical or multiple physical nodes failure will not impact your service.

Cloud hosting is suitable for anyone, however some providers market their regular VPS servers as Cloud servers. Most low budget offers are just that, true cloud servers are usually in the higher price range. If your budget is low rather go for a quality VPS with good redundancy, the preformance and even possibly the uptime will be better than that of a cheap "cloud" server.

Is cloud hosting ok for my business.
