Hi,
Nowadays I can see the cloud hosting is growing very rapidly. But what are the benefits of cloud hosting? How is it helpful?

Cloud hosting is benefited in the following ways :
1. Better performance:- It has greater capacity and high loading speed for your and your customer’s website.
2. Disaster management:- It can easily manage if any disaster happens with your site. If you are already using a multi-server architecture then you are at no risk.
3. Security:- Cloud hosting acts as a private cloud for your hosting activities and provides you maximum security from any malware and hackers.

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.

The biggest advantage of cloud hosting is its security. In order to host on the cloud, you need to follow its protocols and also, the hosting needs to be done by the experts.
The 2nd advantage would be its flexibility. That means you don’t need to buy any specific plan with pre-defined resources. Instead, you can use them as per your need. You get the option to upscale and downscale the resources for the website hosted in the cloud.
