by SupportPRO Manager

Cloud Hosting, Cloud Computing, & Cloud Architecture are the latest and fast rising technologies. Many explanations to the term Cloud and many get confused between the terms Grid Computing and Cloud Computing. Cloud Hosting systems are becoming more and more popular, because of web hosts and IoT, basically Shared Hosting providers have to deal with a lot of websites and applications like Instagram, Facebook etc. which require growing amount of resources.

Cloud computing made a disruptive movement in the computing industry, by providing computing as a service, not as a product.

The Cloud can be taken as an approach to building computer architectures and deliver services and applications to the customer with scalable, virtualized resources and software resources to be provided as a service. The Cloud can also be taken as a process of merging the physical computer resources with the Internet networks.

A Cloud Hosting is getting more and more popular hosting method. This would help startups and SMEs to “Pay per Usage basis”. A Cloud Hosting architecture can be achieved by making use of the existing Virtualised and Clustered techniques. The Web Hosting provider must make use of the Fail Over Cluster or High Availability (HA) Cluster which can guarantee that the web hosting service made available through Cloud shall be redundant, multi-node that can offer dynamically scalable resources. A Clustered system is the most basic requirement of Cloud Hosting solution.

The Cloud Hosting services are usually based on load-balanced clusters, in which the data is stored on Storage Area Network (SAN). Any of the servers of the cluster can be easily added to or removed from the system when required. If any server is down for maintenance or for any other reason is out of service, other nodes are capable of taking the load.
