How Cloud Solutions Operate Web Sites

By Katay Don Sasorith


Cloud servers represent one of the most important advances in the use of computers and the internet. The concept goes as far back as the 1960's when a John McCarthy proposed that some time in the future, computer services would be provided just like other public utilities like water or electricity. The limited access to computer at that time caused such an idea to seem very unrealistic. Cloud hosting is an example that shows the truth in prediction made by John McCarthy.

Contrary to popular belief, cloud servers have nothing to do with actual clouds and get their name from the cloud symbol normally used to represent the internet in charts and diagrams. Cloud computing involves delivering infrastructure, software, and platforms via the internet to various users. These services include storage services, applications, servers and a lot more. Cloud servers hosting out do conventional hosts by offering flexible, modern and cost effective options. With resources available online, location is no longer an issue for you or the cloud server host. Those who need to travel frequently find great advantage in this because it means that regardless of where they are they can continue to access the resources the normally do while in the office.

Along with cloud hosting you can access other cloud computing services that are provided on demand and are paid for per hour or per minute depending on what you use. These services are also completely managed by the different cloud server service providers. All these benefits go to show the huge economic advantage that cloud server hosting has to offer. Since you are only billed for the exact amount of resources you use there is no possibility of wastage here. Being able to adjust resources according to demand on the business at a particular time does away with the need to have ideal resources that are intended for contingency. Having the cloud server host manage services from their end cuts down on your operation costs and manpower required in your operations.

Cloud server hosts will normally have private or public server services on offer. Private cloud server hosting is meant to serve a specific group or network of customers. On the other hand, public cloud server hosting is accessible to anyone. There are also situations where a private cloud server will engage the services offered by a public cloud server giving rise to what is known as a virtual private cloud server. Apart from the issue of access to services, public and private cloud servers are very much the same.

Since IT resources have now become a necessity, cloud servers offer the opportunity to better organize resources and ensure that they are accessible and affordable. People from all around the world can now enjoy the highest standards in services through the use of cloud servers.
