What is cloud hosting?
This hosting uses many other servers instead of using a server, which works to balance the load and maximize speed. It is a type of web hosting that makes your website work not on one server but multiple servers and thus the loading speed is considered good. If there is a problem with one server then it transfers your website to another server to work properly. The purpose of this service is that if a server is ever shut down, it automatically transfers your website to other servers.

The Right Time to Manage and Analyze Big Data in the Cloud
If you’re about to take an analytic crack at unfiltered terabytes or even petabytes of complex, unstructured data, it can stay in a public cloud provider like Amazon Web Services, said Judith Hurwitz. The consultant and author of numerous IT books, including several in the For Dummies instructional series, said analyzing big data in the cloud often works “because you’re still in the process of separating the wheat from the chaf,” so there’s no reason for the extra security of keeping it in-house. “It has not become mission-critical at that point,” Hurwitz said.
