Cloud Hosting

[flippingrich]

We have a number of domain names We'd like to host on the cloud so we can add a couple of pages and put adsense and there too.

Can anyone recommend anywhere.

Cloud hosting is just a fancy word for a "server".

Go to HostGator and sign up for a baby plan. for $4-$5 bucks a month you can start building your own little adsense empire.

PM me if you have any other questions. Hope this helps.

What is cloud hosting?

In a nutshell, cloud hosting (often also referred to as clustered hosting) is a step up from

the shared hosting infrastructure that is commonly used today.

By handling security, load balancing and server resources virtually you are no longer

restricted to the limits of one physical piece of hardware. In basic terms, online operations

are not limited to a single server, they have access to the processing power of a number of

servers that are distributed in real time.

In a physical environment, a web site (for instance) is limited to the resource constraints

that is housed within the physical unit (RAM, processing power, bandwidth etc). The concept of

a cloud infrastructure no longer has this limitation – you, as a customer, can purchase as

much computing power as you need from a virtually inexhaustible supply. The nature of the

infrastructure means that scaling up and down is seemless and thus spikes in traffic aren’t

problematic.

Load-balancing occurs at the software level and is dynamically load-balanced across a number

of servers. Servers can be added or removed from the cluster with no impact or downtime on

hosted applications meaning less disruption for customers. The cloud architecture has the

ability to provide small and medium enterprises the stability and resilience of a web hosting

architecture that a few years ago only huge corporate organization could obtain through huge

IT expenditure.

Croz has it right, just go over to Hostgator and pay $5 a month. Hosting on the cloud is needlessly complex unless I am completely misunderstanding your question.

If you are determined, I've heard good things about Rackspace.

Only one suggestionon that - seperate Ips. Big mistake alot of people make is putting all their sites on one IP. If you seperate some and use pricacy on your registration then you stand to be able to use the work you put in on each site (SEo wise) to help rank the other sites.
