What is
the difference between cloud computing and Web hosting?
Web
hosting is simply the process of offering remote
location and maintenance for files and server space used to support Web
projects.
Conventional kinds of Web hosting include
services where individual users can build and store small websites with a Web
hosting provider, and enterprise Web hosting, where businesses enter into
contracts with third parties like Internet Service Providers to host their
sites.
Web hosting
will involve a Web hosting company serving only one client on any given server.
This provides more individual security and a more focused approach to serving
an individual customer
Cloud
computing can also support remote Web hosting. The
definition of cloud computing services involves the connection of clients to
vendors through wireless or IP connected networks. In cloud computing, a client
sends data to a vendor through an abstract network trajectory called "the
cloud." Data is then stored and maintained on remote servers owned and
operated by the vendors.
Cloud computing services that include Web
hosting are usually multi-tenant.
