Cloud Hosting Provider

Cloud hosting is the latest form of web hosting that has become incredibly popular over the past couple of years. It leverages the power of several interconnected cloud servers spread over a cluster to run your website and applications. As the resources are drawn from a virtualized ‘cloud’ and not from a single physical server, there is no single point of failure. This means your website keeps up and running even when one of the servers in the network crashes for some reason or the other.

Because these cloud servers are virtualized, they can be created, tweaked and deleted on demand; as a result, your website gets instant access to surplus resources whenever there is a heavy influx of visitors during sales or promotion. The cloud hosting model is thus an improvement over shared and VPS hosting-it offers a great deal of flexibility, scalability and reliability resulting in higher uptime and availability for your business.

Cloud hosting offers a unique set of advantages to its users. These include:

Scalability: Since a cloud server sits on the top of multiple interconnected servers, you can access resources on demand and instantly scale up when the demand soars and scale down when it slackens.

Flexible Pricing Structure: Cloud hosting providers typically proffer services on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ pricing model where you pay only for the resources you consume. With no high upfront costs, this hosting model results in more efficient utilization of resources.

Customization: Cloud hosting service offers better customizability and flexibility over any other service owning to the absence of limitations imposed by a physical server. Of course, you need a certain degree of technical skill to harness these options.

Security: A cloud server stores multiple copies of your data at different locations. So, even if one server gets compromised, others keep functioning, allowing your website to run without hassle. Moreover, the servers housing your data are present in well-guarded locations. Cloud hosting providers leave no stone unturned when it comes to safeguarding data of their clients.

Notwithstanding the mainstream adoption of cloud hosting technology, there are a few stubborn myths surrounding the reliability of cloud servers for hosting business data and applications. Some people believe that since a lot of cloud users share the underlying physical infrastructure, data and applications can get exposed to other users. Others opine that because the users don’t control the physical hardware, they have no way of knowing if it is secured or not.

The cloud hosting model deploys virtualization technology that prevents data from leaking from one user to the other. Besides, the physical servers underlying the virtualized server are placed in well-guarded data centers; these data centers are equipped with a range of physical security and cybersecurity measures to keep your data safeguarded from unsolicited intrusion of any kind.

So, the cybersecurity attacks that you might have heard of in recent years have occurred not because of the underlying technology but because of lenient security practices deployed by the cloud hosting provider.

In shared hosting, hundreds of websites share the same physical server as a result of which the cost of running and maintaining the server gets split among all the users. While shared hosting model is cost-effective, it poses a risk of downtime. For this reason, many websites in the expansion phase upgrade to cloud servers to avail superior uptime and availability.

Upgrading from shared hosting to cloud hosting is easy. You just need to perform the following steps:

1. Click Web Hosting option on your Web Hosting Server.

2. Click Upgrades or Options next to your domain name.

3. Go to the Customize tab.

4. Select new options that need to be upgraded such as Plan, Additional Recurring Bandwidth, Additional Recurring Storage, Server IP, Prepaid Temporary Storage, Prepaid Temporary Bandwidth and others.

5. Click Checkout

It might take some time to activate the changes that you have made. These changes typically get updated within 24 hours. But this can vary from user to user.

Cloud hosting is implemented using virtualization technology. Its architecture is divided into two segments: a front end and a back end, both connected through the internet. The front end is the interface accessible to the end-user whereas the back end comprises the cloud hosting section.

So, the front end includes the client’s computer while the back end includes the servers and data storage systems that create the virtualized cloud of computing services. The back end is the part where the data is actually located, processed and installed. It is usually not physically accessible to the end-users.

The internet forms a network between the front end and the back end through which computers on the front end access the data present on servers at the back end. The central server of the back end monitors client traffic to make sure everything is running smoothly. It does so by following a set of rules, referred to as the protocol.

Application Server Security –

The first security layer that keeps undesirable traffic away. Firewall is the most prominent tool in our cloud server. It denies access to any suspicious data packet trying to sneak in or out of the system, right at the network entry.

Database Server Security –

The second security layer and perhaps the most invincible line of defence, Database server security relays request-based access on your database. Any suspicious request generated will be outright denied and brought to the system’s notice in no time.

Additional Security –

Several malicious programs are so meticulously crafted that they sneak in, no matter how excellently you have coded the security. But no more! We deploy additional tools to reinforce security, giving us an edge over every threat that has existed or will ever exist. The most prominent tools being SSL encryption, troubleshooting, threat detection, and vulnerability testing.

Pooled together, the tools build an austere environment for threats, leaving zero margin for a compromise.

As long as your provider complies with all essential ISO certifications, there is not a service more secure than cloud storage. Compliances bind cloud hosting providers from tempering, viewing, or using data in any form whatsoever.

Moreover, providers do not linger over your files pointlessly as reputation is one of the prime factors that clients consider while choosing cloud storage services. Even the slightest blemish can render the provider out of business.
