Cloud hosting has established itself as a flexible and secure method of providing websites and apps on virtual servers in the cloud. In contrast to conventional hosting, cloud hosting enables dynamic scaling of resources and therefore offers greater flexibility and security.
Virtualization creates virtual layers on servers, allowing content and data to be flexibly replicated on different servers in the network. There are two main types of cloud hosting: public cloud hosting, which shares resources with multiple users, and private cloud hosting, which is used by a single user. The benefits of cloud hosting include high reliability, flexible performance, usage-based billing and protection against outages through redundant storage. In terms of security, the location of the servers and the provider's headquarters are crucial.
Cloud hosting providers offer physical and virtual security through firewalls, identity management, access control and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). In summary, cloud hosting offers a modern, flexible and cost-effective solution for the provision of digital assets online.
