Traditional hosting hosts your websites and applications on a physical server, while cloud hosting hosts your websites and applications on the cloud.

The cloud is a network of interconnected servers that are located all over the world. This allows data and applications to be stored and run on multiple servers in different places, which can provide a robust and reliable architecture to host your websites and applications. If one server goes down, the others can keep working seamlessly.

For cloud hosting, the resources are available on-demand and can be scaled up and down quickly tailored to your business needs while traditional hosting does not provide that level of flexibility and efficiency.

Shared hosting is a single server environment shared by multiple websites or users. Different hosting providers have different policies on resource allocation, the websites can be competing for the same resources or the resources will be throttled among the users. Shared hosting is the most affordable type of traditional hosting, but it is also the least scalable. Shared hosting is not recommended for mid to high-traffic, mission-critical, resource-intensive, security-sensitive, and e-commerce applications.

VPS hosting is also a single server environment but provides more isolation and dedicated resources than shared hosting. The hosting provider places a hypervisor (virtual layer) on top of the operating system that divides it into separate components. The resources is shared by multiple websites or users in a non competitive manner. Each user and website will have it’s own access to the allocated resources. VPS hosting does provide more security and stability than shared hosting but it is not highly configurable.

Dedicated hosting is a single server environment exclusively for one user or organisation. The user has complete control over server configurations, allowing for extensive customization and privacy control. It is ideal for websites or applications that are mission-critical, security-sensitive, resource intensive and with high traffic.

Cloud hosting can efficiently provide a multi-server environment that allows rapid pooling of resources on demand from all over the world. It provides a level of flexibility and scalability for businesses to build their server infrastructure that traditional hosting is unable to. With Cloud hosting, business is able to adapt to market changes, effectively address fluctuating demands while optimising cost.

Yes, cloud hosting is suitable for ecommerce stores. In fact, it is a good choice for ecommerce businesses of all sizes. There are many advantages of building eCommerce applications on the cloud, to name a few:

• Cloud hosting is highly scalable, which means that businesses can easily add or remove resources as needed. This is important for e-commerce stores, which can experience spikes in traffic during sales or peak periods, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
• Cloud hosting’s distributed architecture enhances high availability. In the event of server failures or maintenance, traffic can be redirected to alternative servers, minimizing downtime. This is crucial for e-commerce, where any interruption in service can result in lost sales.
• Cloud hosting enables businesses to store their data and build their applications in locations closer to the target market, ensuring optimal performance and regulatory compliance with data sovereignty requirements.
