Cloud VPS Features

Cloud technology has nothing to do with the sky or unstable clouds that veil the midnight moon, as one famous poet wrote. The term “cloud” has derived from a simple sketch to describe and explain simple computer network and its ties to the internet. The scheme looked like simple painted cloud. Later this scheme was used to illustrate the internet working procedure, therefore it was used to describe internet as such.

Internet itself is formed out of billions of webservers which contain trillions of websites. They can be reached easily through the internet connection. This way of computing was called cloud computing and meant the decentralization of computer power. The single computing procedure can be performed in remote computer nodes, allocated just for that purpose. This is hos cloud computing term appeared.

Cloud hosting is another term which describes the way web projects are hosted. The website is hosted in few different nodes instead of one physical server. If one node is closed or disabled, the website data is broadcasted from another node immediately. if additional node needs to be added, it can be done easily by allocating another hosting space without turning off the entire website.

Cloud technology is getting more and more people because it is more effective than dedicated server, however some security concerns occur, as personal data online must be secure and protected from overtaking and publicizing. Cloud technology is usually used as a service rather than a product, therefore the costs are efficient as users must pay as they use. Cloud hosting technologies are also developed and used efficiently.

The biggest hype about the cloud is that it is based on new technology which proved to be really effective. Cloud hosting is used for lots of free online tools and services such as Google Docs, iTunes, Youtube etc.

What is Cloud VPS

Cloud VPS is a special cloud technology based hosting service. VPS – Virtual private Network is one of the most popular hosting services when user is provided with virtual server which can be operated by the customer according to his needs. That means the customer can add or remove the online applications on demand. There are some limitations though. Customer of VPS hosting cannot uninstall the OS and install a new one without the permission of the host. This small limitation is not a problem if customer selects the dedicated hosting service where the full management is given to the customer.

Cloud VPS is different from simple VPS just in the type of the server. Instead of one physical server, cloud VPS uses many nodes, located in different servers. The special Cloud VPS management software allow hosting service provider the data synchronization and easy management of all available nodes.
