With so many different types of hosting services to choose from, it’s important that your company is aware of which one can fit your needs best. While using a managed service for hosting has a lot of great benefits, there are some features that might fall short of providing what your company needs. If you think a managed hosting has some key features missing for you, then it may time to inquire about cloud hosting, instead.

Is cloud hosting right for you? Read on to find out!

What is Cloud Hosting?
Not all cloud hosting services are the same, but ultimately, the all serve similar functions. A cloud hosting service essentially provides the user with a reliable place to store data. Instead of using a physical server, the service is hosted on a “virtual partition.” While here, the cloud can utilize underlying physical services to draw resources from, that will support the data on the cloud. Of course, the “service” aspect means that in addition to having your data hosted on the cloud, your service provider can help you manage it all.

The Categories of Cloud Hosting
As mentioned before, cloud hosting services, like other types of managed services, don’t come in a “one size fits all” package. If you’re familiar with IaaS or PaaS, those are practical versions of cloud hosting that can help segue users into understanding cloud hosting overall.

Generally, there are three types, and those are Public, Private, and Hybrid. Of course, a Hybrid Cloud Hosting Service is a generous mix of Public and Private. Each option provide the user with the technology, security, and leverage to build the high-performance environment he or she is searching for.

Why Cloud Hosting is a Good Option for Your Business
Cloud hosting has a lot of attractive points for both start up businesses and huge companies alike. For one, going with a cloud hosting service can help you save money, because you can tap into certain resources on the cloud when and as you need them. This means you don’t need to pay for features you don’t use frequently or at all. Additionally, a cloud hosting service is also a good way of storing lots of data, without needing to depend on a single server that may give out at any time.

Cloud hosting is also a good option for your business because you get a lot of nice benefits from it. One of the nicest things a cloud hosting service can provide for your company is consistency and reliability. You don’t have to worry so much about a server shutting down, affecting your network and causing you to lose money. That can be a concern, however, with other types of managed hosting.

But, beyond this reason, there’s also the benefit of physical security, which is increased with each data center the cloud pulls from. There’s also more scalability and flexibility than you see with other types of managed hosting. If your needs change based on the growth of your business, you can change that as you go.

There are a lot of great managed hosting options out there, and you need to work with your MSP to find the one that fits your company’s needs best. Perhaps a cloud hosting service is that option. Time to explore that more!
