CLOUD COMPUTING – Advanced Web Hosting

When we go some years back, we find the time when mainframes were very expensive and were not easily affordable, so the companies that required more computing power would be the time share Cray’s. Cloud Computing is now serves for the same. Cloud Computing consists of lots of hardware in one data centre at some place that can easily shared by many users at the same time. Clients of the cloud are given computing power as much as they required. This  differentiate Cloud Computing from web hosting, as web hosting only gives a portion on a single server whereas Cloud Computing gives us the benefit of more than one server all working together. As we know that our particular website or application needs only a small portion of a single server it clearly proves that there is no need of a dedicated server, still these servers consumes lots of space and power even if it is not required. Cloud Computing made it different from a typical hosting as it has three different characteristics:

* It is sold on Demand – in a minute or an hour.

* It is elastic by nature as user can have as much service as they want at a period of time.

* The Service is completely managed by the provider and users have to do nothing but only have his personal computer with a network connection.

A cloud can either be public or private. A public cloud can render their services to anyone through internet whereas the private cloud is a data centered that supplies their services only to limited people. Whether it’s private or public, the main aim of Cloud Computing is to provide easily accessible resources and services.

Cloud Computing helps at the time when a website hits with lot of traffic in short span of time and it’s also known as “Digg-Effect” or “Slash Dotted”. The Cloud has an ability that can easily distribute the heavy load to multiple servers automatically.

Developing a site is not a small problem. One has to face the difficulties at all the levels and working out the curve becomes more difficult as we add the servers. It requires a high performance network not only for one but for all the servers as well. Not only this, we also have to be sure that all the servers can communicate in a smooth manner. Above all these, is software that has a power of data caching and should have an optimized code. The industries can afford all these and can do all these with no panic as they have experts at every level. But now, End users do not have to worry because with the introduction of Cloud Computing all this has become very easy and affordable and users now can only concentrate on their work.

CLOUD COMPUTING

The main advantage of Cloud Computing is that you will only spend for the hosting and you will easily get the Scalability Nerds expertise in that. It has also been concluded that with improved access to high internet speed and weak economy have created the interest in Cloud Computing.
