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. A digital footprint describes your presence on the world wide web. Your website is important in establishing a web presence.

It's important to have a user friendly website. Your website is your office on the internet. A good looking website isn't everything. An efficient website is also very important. Potential clients can be turned off by websites that run slow and crash.

Cloud hosting is a recent development that ensures websites run properly. Large companies are abandoning their old ways of web hosting and using cloud hosting.

With cloud hosting data can be stored on multiple servers. All the servers are known as the cloud. Websites can run slower during peak times because of large amounts of traffic. By using multiple servers to store data the information can be accessed as it's needed.

For example, look at Google. Google hosts millions of visitors. A scheduled maintenance screen does not show up when searching Google. Google is hosted by servers that operate using cloud technology. Google uses several servers. 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 who store their data in the cloud don't experience server failures.

Cloud hosting only costs the user what they use. Electric company charges are similar to how cloud hosting works. There are not additional costs and fees associated with cloud hosting. Cloud hosting bills for visitors and the resources that your site used.

With the cost of cloud hosting decreasing it will become cost efficient for small businesses. 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.

Cloud technology is easy to implement. On-site servers are not necessary. Rooms full of servers will be a thing of the past with cloud hosting. Cloud hosting includes power, emergency power, and environmental controls to the servers with your data. Companies can focus on growing their business rather than maintaining servers. Cloud hosting is managed off-site and offers round the clock support. More companies are expected to switch to cloud hosting as the cyber marketplace grows. More companies are expected to switch to cloud hosting as the need for faster more efficient websites arises.
