By Jay Patel


Cloud hosting is a new beautiful technology to serve the clients of almost all kinds of clients because of its flexibility of the applications to select and because of the location and device independence. This technology is very easy to understand by the client though very complex to be implemented by the cloud hosting services. It is quite different from the traditional hosting services.

Cloud hosting is beautiful and less complex technology to be used by the clients, because this technology allows great flexibility of utilizing the computing resources like hardware, software and applications. These applications can be easily tailored to the unique needs of the client's business. The selected or tailored package of unique set of resources is easily served by the cloud hosting services remotely by the cluster server-platform. These load balanced servers store the web data in SAN, also called as Storage Area Network. Client can access the web data and hosting applications and services from anywhere in the world.

The utilized applications are measured by compute cycles by the cloud hosting providers. And these cycles are the indicators and evidence of the applications used and duration of the usage. And there are various tools and features that can be used by the users of cloud hosting service. These features or tools are testing, building applications, development stages, network equipment and hosting maintenance.

The pre-defined blueprints are used for everything about how the applications are required to run and also running them in different environments. These applications are moved among the clouds through a self-service portal.

Templates or blue-prints contain the entire configuration of the cloud as well the technical aspects of the applications to be deployed and run by the client. These templates give great ease and flexibility to the client, because just a push button makes all these materialized and so web developers also use the templates to make a set of the applications required.

Cloud hosting uses service models called fundamental models of three kinds. The basis for these models is infrastructure, platform and software. The three models are IaaS, PaaS and SaaS which are based on Infrastructure, Platform and Software respectively. Cloud uses different models of deployment. These models are public cloud, community cloud, hybrid cloud and private cloud.

The deployment and usage of the services can be done through various kinds of computing devices like iPad, mobile phone, smart phone, laptop or desktop. And this feature called device independence makes the client makes more flexible in using the services.
