How much does cloud hosting cost?

[Larry]

Hello symakhan,

Welcome to the GlowHost forum!

We know that your business is important to you, and your business is important to us too. I'll do my best to answer all your questions, but if you need more information, please let us know!

Our Cloud VDS hosting is suitable for businesses of all sizes, and if you're looking for the best uptime in the industry, cloud hosting is the way to go, especially when every second matters.

Since you're just starting out, you may want to first consider how you're going to build your website first. We offer many tools such as our very own GlowBuilder Website Builder, perfect for those who want a quick and easy way to build a professional looking website, all without the price of hiring a professional developer. If you're feeling bold and want to explore options, we also offer an apps installer with 100's of apps for building websites that you could try. We offer a one click installer for apps such as WordPress, OpenCart, PrestaShop, and much more.

After you've considered how you may want to build your website, your next step is to obtain hosting. It's perfectly fine to start off big and go straight for a Fully Managed Cloud Server from GlowHost, but that might be more than what you need right now. We recommend starting off small, and scaling up as you need. Here are some suggested plans you could try out first.

- Any one of our Shared Hosting plans, starting at $3.47/mo
- A powerful alternative to VPS hosting, our Elastic Sites Hosting plans, starting at $13.49/mo
- Our very own GlowHost Website Builder, GlowBuilder, FREE trial available

It's ultimately going to come down to how large or small you want to start out, and then you can scale as your needs increase. We recommend one of the above 3 plans if you're just starting out and don't yet have a website ready to go live. This will be the most cost effective option, while giving you an affordable platform to build upon.

In the simplest terms, cloud hosting is a platform that houses all of your data across multiple devices. If one physical server crashes, your data is still up. Cloud hosting is a platform that delivers uptime for businesses that need the very best, with no exceptions.

The benefits to using cloud hosting for small businesses are vast, and we could come up with a list of a hundred bullet points. However, these are some of the biggest reasons.

- Scalability, grow as your needs increase.
- Affordability, allowing you to quickly scale up practically instantly without needing to setup new hardware.
- Reliability, ensuring your business is always online.
- Redundancy, in case of an imminent hardware failure, there is always another copy of your data elsewhere.

Our Cloud Hosting prices can be found here, and prices start at $49.95/mo.

Migrating your data is not difficult at all to or from a cloud hosting platform. In fact, we'll help you with your migration every step of the way!

As for security risks of cloud hosting in general, the answer to that is, it depends, but usually no more or less than a dedicated server. With a professional team supporting your cloud server, there really is little difference. A cloud server can be more secure than a physical dedicated server, but this will boil down to what you're looking to setup. If you have specific questions about cloud server security, please let us know, and we'll be happy to help you with that!
