Cloud Web Hosting (also referred to as Grid Web Hosting) is a fairly new technology in web hosting which eliminates the countless limitations of traditional hosting through the use of multiple servers. What this means is that a given website will have the load of its use spread across many machines thus providing greater speed and redundancy. For large companies, cloud hosting enables them to outsource their needs (which they would previously have had to incur themselves) on an equally large third party provider who assumes responsibility for the maintenance of the website, reducing the load of the company's IT departments. When a company hosts its own site it has to invest in skilled staff to ensure its reliability, a difficult task often riddled with problems due to outages while the tech team scrambles to find an obscure defect in an immensely complex system. Cloud computing passes this difficulty onto a specialized company and, due to the nature of the set-up, other servers continue to run the website while technicians root out the problem in the affected server - a stress free plan for a company |
