Establish Your Digital Footprint With A Cloud

By Ron Rice


Success and failure could have a lot to do with your company's digital footprint. Your internet presence is your digital footprint. Your website is important in establishing a web presence.

A great investment is an user friendly website. Your website is your office on the internet. A good looking website isn't everything. Businesses need websites that function properly. Customers are turned off by slow websites.

Cloud hosting helps ensure websites run properly. Cloud hosting is becoming popular with larger companies.

With cloud hosting data can be stored on multiple servers. All the servers are known as the cloud. Websites that run slow may be a result of heavy traffic on the site. Information can be accessed as its needed across multiple servers.

Google is a good example. Google hosts millions of visitors. Google never experiences maintenance or downtime. Google's data is stored in the cloud. Google uses several servers. If a server fails, the others can pick up the slack. Websites who take advantage of cloud hosting don't experience slow traffic and response times. Websites that are only supported by one server will not have the benefits supported by cloud hosting.

The only expense with cloud hosting is what you used. Cloud hosting is similar to how an electric company charges. There are not additional costs and fees associated with cloud hosting. Your bill reflects how many visitors you had and how many resources your site used.

Cloud hosting is not cost effective for small businesses but the cost of cloud hosting is going down. Medium sized companies are trusting their website hosting needs to cloud technology. Cloud hosting will soon be popular with smaller businesses because the price is dropping.

Switching to cloud is easy. On-site servers are not necessary. Rooms full of servers will be a thing of the past with cloud hosting. Cloud providers also offer the necessary controls and backups necessary for server function. Companies can focus on growing their business rather than maintaining servers. Cloud hosting is managed off-site and offers round the clock support. Cloud hosting will become more popular as the internet expands and more companies use it for business. More companies are expected to switch to cloud hosting as the need for faster more efficient websites arises.
