Establish Your Digital Footprint With A Cloud

By Ron Rice


A digital footprint is necessary to the success of a business. Your internet presence is your digital footprint. Your website is important in establishing a web presence.

It's important to have a user friendly website. A website is a digital version of your office space or building. You need more than just a website that looks good. Businesses need websites that function properly. Potential clients can be turned off by websites that run slow and crash.

Cloud hosting helps ensure websites run properly. Larger companies are taking advantage of cloud hosting.

With cloud hosting data can be stored on multiple servers. The cloud refers to all the servers. Websites can run slower during peak times because of large amounts of traffic. Information can be accessed as its needed across multiple servers.

For example, look at Google. Google hosts millions of visitors. A scheduled maintenance screen does not show up when searching Google. Google's data is stored in the cloud. The website functions because of the many servers they use. Server failures aren't felt by the user because other servers back up the failed one. 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.

With cloud hosting you only pay for what you used. Cloud hosting is similar to how an electric company charges. With cloud hosting, you don't pay for resources you don't use. You are billed based on visitors and resources.

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. With the cost falling, small businesses will be able to implement cloud technology soon.

Switching to cloud is easy. Companies no longer need servers on-site. Companies will have more space to work because of the free space cloud technology allows. Emergency power and environmental controls are a provision of the cloud provider. Companies can focus on growing their business rather than maintaining servers. 24/7 support and off-site management are also benefits of cloud hosting. More companies are expected to switch to cloud hosting as the cyber marketplace grows. Cloud hosting meets the demands of the growing digital age.
