Cloud Hosting vs. Dedicated Hosting

The benefits and disadvantages between cloud hosting and dedicated hosting has been

on the forefront of technology talk for the last year. Businesses have been using

dedicated hosting for so long that the idea of switching to cloud hosting can seem like

it is not worthwhile. However, there are numerous benefits to using cloud hosting

over dedicated hosting.

Down Time

When you operate a virtual business or a business that relies heavily on virtual

services then downtime is something you do not want. Dedicated servers are likely to

have downtime at some point or another. While it may only be for a few hours, that is

still a few hours which your clients and customers are unable to access your business.

Cloud hosting offers no down time at all. Because it utilizes a different type of

storage, it is safe and secure from severs which can crash or experience viral

problems.

Cost

Even affordable dedicated hosting can drain your pockets for as little as $150 per

month. For many big companies, the cost of using dedicated hosting is substantially

more. While dedicated hosting was unrivaled for nearly a decade, it now has

competitors who are able to provide a much better hosting experience for a fraction of

the cost. Cloud hosting can cost businesses as little as $3 per month.

Flexibility

With dedicated hosting you have to pay for a set amount of server space for your

business. Typically the amounts are pre-set by the hosting company and there is no

flexibility option. With cloud hosting you only have to pay for what your business will

need and use. It is easy to later expand the amount of hosting space that is needed for

your company without having to pay huge rates per month. As your business continues

to grow and expand to areas around the world it is possible for you to maintain your

business within one easy to use hosting space which grows with you without utilizing

more of your finances.

Ease of Use

Businesses are often forced to use a variety of software programs and equipment

which can be expensive with dedicated hosting. With cloud hosting you will have

access to easy to use software that is available for a very low rate and can even rent

the necessary equipment needed for a business to try it before actually investing in

buying it. The ease of this system makes cloud hosting the best option for any size

business.
