Build A Better Website With A Cloud

By Ron Rice


Success and failure could have a lot to do with your company's digital footprint. A digital footprint describes your presence on the world wide web. Your website is important in establishing a web presence.

A great investment is an user friendly website. A website is a digital version of your office space or building. You need more than just a website that looks good. An efficient website is also very important. Websites that run slow or crash are a turnoff for visitors.

Cloud hosting is a great solution for websites with a lot of traffic. Large companies are abandoning their old ways of web hosting and using cloud hosting.

With cloud hosting data can be stored on multiple servers. The cloud refers to all the servers. Websites can run slower during peak times because of large amounts of traffic. By using multiple servers to store data the information can be accessed as it's needed.

Google is a good example. Google hosts millions of visitors. A scheduled maintenance screen does not show up when searching Google. Google is hosted by servers that operate using cloud technology. Google uses several servers. Server failures aren't felt by the user because other servers back up the failed one. Websites who take advantage of cloud hosting don't experience slow traffic and response times. Websites who store their data in the cloud don't experience server failures.

Cloud hosting only costs the user what they use. Cloud hosting is similar to how an electric company charges. With cloud hosting, you don't pay for resources you don't use. Cloud hosting bills for visitors and the resources that your site used.

Cloud hosting is not cost effective for small businesses but the cost of cloud hosting is going down. Several medium sized companies are switching to cloud hosting. With the cost falling, small businesses will be able to implement cloud technology soon.

Switching to cloud is easy. On-site servers are not necessary. Cloud hosting frees up space used by servers. Emergency power and environmental controls are a provision of the cloud provider. Companies can focus on growing their business rather than maintaining servers. Cloud infrastructure is handled off-site with 24/7 support. As the cyber marketplace grows, so will the need for cloud hosting. Cloud hosting is a smart solution for a growing digital marketplace.
