What is Cloud Hosting?
Cloud hosting is a type of web hosting service that utilizes multiple servers interconnected through a network (the cloud) to provide resources and distribute workload across them.
This setup offers scalability, flexibility, and reliability as resources can be dynamically allocated and adjusted based on demand.
Unlike traditional hosting, where websites rely on a single physical server, cloud hosting distributes the website’s data across multiple servers, reducing the risk of downtime and ensuring high availability.
An example of cloud hosting is Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offers a range of cloud-based hosting solutions, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), allowing businesses to scale their infrastructure on-demand, pay only for the resources they use, and benefit from a global network of data centers for fast and reliable performance.
