Cloud hosting offers several benefits as below:
Cost Savings:
In cloud hosting, you need to pay as per your usage and so the overall cost gets reduced. Additionally, you don't need to buy the expensive hardware unlike other hosting plans.
Increased Security:
Cloud hosting offers high level of security features such as data encryption and routine backups. When your website is hosted on a cloud-based platform, and even if anything goes wrong with the hardware, whether your laptop gets stolen or a virus on a PC, your company’s data will remain safe and sound in the cloud, especially, if you are using security features like Single-sign On or Two-factor Authentication.
Increased Data Delivery Speed:
Cloud hosting services are able to detect the closest server to a given user and so they receive content from the nearest source which minimizes delays and page loading times. When you use powerful cloud servers for distributing load, it takes some of the burden off your local hosts and improves page speed.
