What is Cloud Hosting?

Cloud Hosting is a hosting model where a website draws server resources — processing power, storage, bandwidth — from a network of connected servers rather than a single physical machine, allowing capacity to scale up or down automatically as traffic changes.

Cloud Hosting vs Traditional Hosting

Traditional shared or dedicated hosting relies on one physical server's fixed capacity. Cloud hosting can instantly draw more resources during a traffic spike — like a festive sale — then scale back down afterward.

Who Benefits Most from Cloud Hosting

• Ecommerce stores with seasonal or unpredictable traffic spikes
• Growing businesses that don't want to re-migrate hosting later
• Websites where uptime and reliability are business-critical
