Technology geeks and anyone else who has been in quest of a no downtime solution that is scalable and cost effective can now sit back and relax since a new buzzword has been taking rounds in the web industry and that is cloud hosting.

Cloud hosting can be reflected upon as the new invention of shared hosting where instead of allocating multiple clients, applications and websites on a solo physical machine, data centers host multiple clients, applications and web sites on any physical server division of a large "farm" of machines, unified through operating expertise called virtualization.

This is where cloud hosting comes to the rescue of the young entrepreneurs and their company. It brings many benefits through which you can lucratively manage your company's needs and productivity without bigger investments at the initial stages.

Cloud hosting also means that your sites, apps and data are always online and do not undergo from shutdowns due to incidents and maintenance.

Cost effectiveness is another feature of cloud hosting which means less hardware, power and maintenance costs. So hosting prices should be minor and will in all probability continue to come down.
