WHY IS CLOUD HOSTING THE MOST TRENDING ?

Hosting, when I start this topic I was thinking I will finish this in one post like I did in my previous post, Hosting Services- For beginners but I was wrong. This topic is very vast and nowadays one of the trending topic related to hosting is Cloud Hosting.
What is cloud hosting? Cloud hosting also known as VM, Virtual Machine, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), based on cloud computing technologies provide hosting for websites on virtual servers.This is a better option than shared hosting services as well performs well than dedicate hosting solutions.
Benefits

• Highest level of website performance guaranteed by multiple machines
• Guaranteed server resources (CPU, RAM)
• Redundant data storage
• No single point of failure
• Website growth flexibility
• Lower pricing and generous features

Types of Cloud Hosting

Scalable cloud hosting

Scalable Cloud Hosting plan gives the option to all customers to control their resources and pay only for what they are using. This option reduces costs and offers scalability to all of our customers. Even some customers can choose the number of CPU cores they want along with the amount of bandwidth, disk space, and RAM. These options can be changed without having to completely migrate hosts or create a virtual machine, giving our customers less downtime.This hosting provider Vertical Scaling which involves increasing workloads with existing hardware resources and Horizontal Scaling which involve expanding hardware resources to allow greater workloads.

Managed cloud hosting

Managed cloud hosting includes the safety and dependability of private cloud hosting but is as cost effective as a public cloud. It is designed for a high availability and private-cloud structure It automated resource balancing and failover: If a host stops working, cloud servers are at an advantage due to their consistently available infrastructure. Virtual local area networks (VLAN), protected firewalls and Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) may be used in cloud servers to deliver a highly protected environment. I t is developing as a hybrid of virtual and physical servers. The costs of a managed cloud are as effective as most public clouds. The resources and also the services are billed per usage.

Private cloud hosting

Private cloud is a particular model of cloud computing that involves a distinct and secure cloud-based environment in which only the specified client can operate. Under the private cloud model, the cloud (the pool of resource) is only accessible by a single organization providing that organization with greater control and privacy. The features and benefits of private clouds are Higher Security and Privacy, More control, Cost, and energy efficiency, Improved reliability, Cloud bursting

Public cloud hosting

The most recognizable model of cloud computing to many consumers is the public cloud model, under which cloud services are provided in a virtualized environment, constructed using pooled shared physical resources, and accessible over a public network such as the internet. The public model offers the features and benefits Ultimate scalability, Cost effective, Utility style costing, Reliability, Flexibility, Location independence

Hybrid cloud hosting

A hybrid cloud is an integrated cloud service utilizing both private and public clouds to perform distinct functions within the same organization. All cloud computing services should offer certain efficiencies to differing degrees but public cloud services are likely to be more cost-efficient and scalable than private clouds. Therefore, an organization can maximize their efficiencies by employing public cloud services for all non-sensitive operations, only relying on a private cloud where they require it and ensuring that all of their platforms are seamlessly integrated. Hybrid cloud models can be implemented in a number of ways:

• Separate cloud providers team up to provide both private and public services as an integrated service.
• Individual cloud providers offer a complete hybrid package.
• Organizations who manage their private clouds themselves sign up to a public cloud service which they then integrate into their infrastructure.
• A hybrid cloud configuration, such as hybrid hosting, can offer its users the features are Scalability, Cost efficiencies, Security, Flexibility.

Difference between VPS and cloud hosting A virtual private server is a single physical server, split up between a limited number of users. Whereas a private cloud uses distributed resources across multiple physical servers. Another major difference between a VPS and a private cloud is the location of the hardware. A virtual private server is generally hosted at an off-site, third-party web hosting provider. A private cloud is situated on site or at a data center you own. Along with Cloud control panels are built with quick provisioning and deployment in mind. The process to get a new virtual server, database or another resource up and running typically takes only a few clicks through the administrative panel. A VPS requires you to upgrade your service manually, send in a support ticket to the provider, or call to get tech support to provide you with the resource needed, making a private cloud more convenient in this regard. Above all, A private cloud is rather expensive in terms of hardware, as you have to shoulder the cost of the hardware, installation, set-up, and maintenance. This is lowered somewhat if you go with a hosted private cloud, but you don’t have the same level of control on a hosted cloud as you do with your own, on-site option. A virtual private server is vastly less expensive and even cheaper than dedicated server hosting. If cost is an issue, the VPS wins out every time.
In conclusion, it has pros and cons now it depends upon your requirement which hosting is better.
