Cloud hosting is growing due to its better performance. Instead of running a task or program on a single machine, the workload is distributed among different machines (ran using cloud technology).
It has some benefits like:
(1) Customization – Cloud hosting enables you to have extensive customization that is not limited to the physical server.
(2) Scalability – You can scale your resources during high traffic spikes even in real-time.
(3) Security – In cloud hosting there are different protocols need to be followed to store and spread your data on different machines.

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.

Instead of purchasing expensive systems and equipment for your business, you can reduce your costs by using the resources of your cloud computing service provider. You may be able to reduce your operating costs because the cost of system upgrades, new hardware and software may be included in your contract.

The list of few benefits of cloud hosting is as follows:

• Cost Savings


• Reliability


• Manageability


• Strategic Edge

So the above listed are the important benefits of cloud hosting.

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.
