The Cloud Authority

Due to the various ways the “cloud” is marketed today, the term cloud computing has taken on a number of meanings, depending on whom you ask. For some, the cloud is simply a broad term that describes any service available over the internet. In the hosting industry, however, the term refers to a specific type of computing infrastructure.

Put simply, cloud computing refers to a hosting environment that leverages pooled computing resources by way of virtualization. In our case, we’ve taken a large number of powerful servers, components, and network-enabled storage, and we created virtualized servers to exist on top of them. These virtual servers, then, leverage the computing power of the entire infrastructure without necessarily being dependent on any given hardware, making the servers more powerful and more reliable at the same time.

Less than a generation ago, real computing power existed mainly in the hands of large businesses that had equally large IT budgets. With the rise of outsourced hosting providers over the past decade, however, it became much more affordable for smaller businesses to host websites and IT services in a safe and reliable environment.

With the growth of virtualization—specifically, cloud computing—in recent years, this shift towards accessible computing continues to gain momentum. Now, more than ever, small-business owners have affordable access to the same computing power and quality infrastructure as most Fortune 500 companies. Today, infrastructure to support critical data, email, or business applications can, in some cases, cost less per month than the average electric bill.

The fact is, not all hosting providers are created equal. When you think about entrusting a hosting provider with your mission-critical data, website, or email, you want to select a provider that has your security in mind. Consider the following:
