what is difference between cloud hosting and web hosting?

[paylan]

hello guy express your thought about what are exact difference between cloud hosting and web hosting?

[Josh-A]

Cloud hosting is setup on cluster of servers which ensures 100% uptime whereas other hosting plans like Shared, VPS are setup on a single physical server, so 100% uptime cannot be guaranteed on them.

[Centennialbrown]

Cloud hosting offers many advantages over normal hosting. This is due to the number of servers that are being used for a single cluster. The architecture of Cloud hosting uses groups of high specification servers, network attached storage devices to reliably serve every web page, and image of a website.
Under normal hosting this is not the case. With cloud hosting you get 100% uptime and a feature to individually scale up and down, ther resources like, CPU, RAM, Bandwidth etc.

[JPC-Sabrina]

Cloud hosting puts many VPS units into a cluster which operates as one unit. If one fails then another picks up the load. This allows for almost seamless 100% uptime.Typical shared hosting puts many users on the same system so if one user takes up most of the resources than the others will be dragged down and have their resources diminished because of one users high use, load, traffic, bad scripts, etc.

[cloudcomputingcw]

Most internet users cannot tell the difference between web hosting and cloud computing. These two terms are similar but their differences have not always been clear.

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is the business of providing server space, web services and file maintenance for websites controlled by companies or individuals that do not have their own web servers.

There are different types of web hosting:

Shared Hosting/virtual hosting/mass hosting

Your content and applications are uploaded into a server which is then shared with other customers who also use the web host. The web host owns the equipment and the server and they have technicians who monitor and manage the servers.

Dedicated hosting

Dedicated hosting is specialised hosting. It is much more sophisticated and the most popular type of hosting. With dedicated hosting, you can rent an entire server for yourself and you can gain access to all the web host provider�s resources to host one or more websites. With dedicated hosting, either you or your web host provider owns the equipment.

Root server hosting/semi-managed hosting

This is a form of dedicated hosting. Root server hosting gives uninterrupted internet connectivity. It is flexible in that, you can choose hardware specifications and operations systems that are best suited to your needs.

Reseller hosting

Reseller hosting is the best type of hosting for entrepreneurs and businesses who wish to host on behalf of their own clients. You can have a contract with a web hosting provider and then sell their services under your own brand.

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources instead of having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.

As with web hosting, there are also different types of cloud computing and these are the most common:

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS is the most popular and widely used form of cloud computing. It provides all the functions of a complicated traditional application. But instead of making use of a locally installed application, these functions are provided through a web browser.

Platform as a Service

This type of cloud computing provides virtualized servers where users can run existing applications or develop new ones without worrying about the maintenance of the operating systems, server hardware, computing capacity or load balancing.

Infrastructure as a Service

This form of cloud computing provides virtualized servers, networks, storage and systems software designed to add to or replace the functions of an entire data center.

the reason for my asking is that my friend is looking for reliable dedicated server provider.
I decided to help him and think that some experts will point me a good direction.
He needs 320GB space, 2GB RAM, 2000GB data transfer, cPanel.
His budget is about $80 - 120. Server location should be in India.
Having done Google search, I found Webwerks.in? How reliable are they?
So, what company can you recommend me to deal with?

I'll probably get started on Wordpress, and then look at my other options later on.

Web Hosting
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.

Cloud Hosting
Cloud is the technology that focuses upon virtualization of computer networks. It is a technology that is introduced with the fact to offer users a business environment that is free from hardware and software hassle.

Thus, the second most important factor that gets handled efficiently is cost. Working in a virtual environment reduces cost of purchasing and deploying hardware and software tools.

Moreover, the entire cloud computing methodology is based on three fundamental factors, which comprise of PaaS, IaaS and SaaS platforms. Let us define each of the three platforms individually.

IaaS Cloud or (Infrastructure-as-a-Service): Infrastructure as a service involves areas like data centers, storage space and the entire IT infrastructure. In case of Running IT operations smoothly and efficiently, cloud providers usually migrate all these things on the cloud with a view to scale up business environment.

PaaS Cloud or (Platform-as-a-Service): Platform as a service covers all the platforms on which software applications are made. It includes operating systems, and software languages such as .net and JAVA on which several software applications are made.

SaaS Cloud or (Software-as-a-Service): Software as a service platform is build up with a view run all the developed software applications smoothly on cloud. This would call for a highly scalable and green environment.

Highlighting all such factors, we can say that cloud computing if used properly can bring about drastic changes in the work environment of businesses. However, all the above mentioned platforms gives rise to three types of cloud computing architectures namely Public cloud, Private cloud and Hybrid cloud. Although, all three function differently, but their purpose always remain one and that is boosting or giving thrust to the scalability of in-house IT infrastructures of organizations.

Cloud hosting has many advantages over the just basic web hosting services and sometimes performs better than dedicated hosting solutions.
There are different cloud computing technologies and cloud hosting providers offer different cloud service platforms.

That is really impressive, I had heard of this before but never read up on it. I will have to go and see if there is anything I am interested in.

The cloud can provide user a far greater range of services and applications. the main advantage of cloud is that Users can avoid expenditure on hardware and software. They can only used what they need. but as we know it new to us and also has many risk in that like Data migration issues when changing cloud provider. Users could become dependent upon the cloud computing provider. and if only 1 cloud goes down it feels like the world is offline.

[Johnson1]

Reasoning web host is installation on group of hosts which guarantees 100% up-time whereas other web host plans like Distributed, VPS are installation on a single physical hosting server, so 100% up-time cannot be assured on them.

A web hosting is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity.

Cloud hosting-
It provides us server clustering i.e. the resources are spread across more than one web server, and are rendered as per need.It also allows us to manage peak loads easily, without facing any bandwidth issues.
Benefits of cloud hosting
Access to a huge range of applications without having to download or install anything
Applications can be accessed from any computer, anywhere in the world
Users can avoid expenditure on hardware and software; only using what they need
Companies can share resources in one place
Consumption is billed as a utility with minimal upfront costs
Scalability via on-demand resources

-Cloud web host is the newest form of the web host who has become popular over modern times.When your site is on cloud hosting, then you will be able to have access to multiple servers and not a single one. You can also add any number of servers and scale up as you wish. This is one of the major advantages of this hosting.

-Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page on to the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed in the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.

Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources instead of having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.
The disadvantage of web hosting is that there is a need to monitor, install, upgrade and configure programs, add sites deal with potential hacks, and troubleshoot systems. Therefore, there is a need for the business to have an employee (maybe more than one employee) to have the necessary system administration skills in order to achieve successful implementation of a website that is hosted on a dedicated web server.

However, large corporations are wary of cloud computing. There is a lack of trust between these corporations and storage providers. Even if some companies do trust their storage provider, they still have security concerns. Most big corporations are hesitant or unwilling to allow any of their sensitive data to be put in “the cloud.” There is always the possibility of hackers getting their hands on the data. In addition to that, users are not able to access the servers that have their stored data. Lastly, if the storage providers close up shop, it will be very hard to retrieve a company’s data.

If you search a reliable cloud hosting, i can to recommend you few companies. For example Swiss company swisshosters.com (google it)
