Benefits of Cloud Hosting

  1. Scalability: The ability to "increase or decrease IT resources as needed to meet changing demand".

    This ability is used to alter plans due to fluctuations in business size and needs is a superb benefit of cloud computing.

  2. Go Global Instantly: Whatever you want is instantly available in the cloud.

  3. Save Money: It saves the expenses on physical hardware components. Instead of purchasing in-house equipment, hardware needs are left to the vendor.

    Along with purchase costs, off-site hardware cuts internal power costs and saves space.

  4. Reliability: Rather than being hosted on one single instance of a physical server, hosting is delivered on a virtual partition that draws its resource, such as disk space, from an extensive network of underlying physical servers.

    If one server goes offline it will not affect availability, as the virtual servers will continue to pull resources from the remaining network of servers.

  5. Physical Security: The underlying physical servers are still housed within data centers and so benefit from the security measures that those facilities implement to prevent people from accessing or disrupting them on-site.

  6. Outsource Management: When you are managing the business, Someone else manages your computing infrastructure. You do not need to worry about management as well as upgradation.
