Future of cloud hosting??

[nomanali]

Cloud hosting and computing are rather old concepts. However, now people are more interested in shifting towards cloud hosting. My question is: whether cloud hosting will be able to take place of traditional hosting solutions like shared, dedicated hosting etc?

IMHO, Cloud hosting will be always separated from shared packages and dedicated servers.

Cloud hosting vs shared packages:

Cloud servers are standalone servers and need separate administration. That involves more human resources (admin work time), as well as more hardware resources CPU/RAM/HDD for keeping standalone OS on that server. These two items in addition to licenses for VDS add much more cost, that is why cloud servers can't be as cheap as usual shared packages.

Cloud hosting vs Dedicated servers

For sure, in many cases I can think of cloud servers as the only option, but sometimes customers want physically dedicated servers (e.g. for PCI compliance) with software located hardware that belongs only to them. While cloud solutions and dedicated servers become closer with time, they are still different. Cloud servers are optimal when fast scaling is needed. Dedicated servers offer much more diskspace (that is usual too expensive on cloud servers) for lower price.

So, cloud servers are somewhere in the middle and I don't think that they will make other traditional solutions vanish.

Thank you so much AndrewGlow for this detailed answer . I agree with you that they are not an alternate for traditional solutions.

Here i'm going to list some prediction for cloud hosting;
1. More application availability on the cloud
2. Increased growth in the market for cloud
3. More hybrid cloud adoption
4. Increased development for the cloud
5. More innovation because of cloud

We can easily speculate the future of cloud as it holds numerous benefits. Prediction regarding cloud are:
1. More savings and productivity: Cloud helps you to save from hefty upfront cost on IT systems and helps you to save your money and time and this can increase your productivity easily.
2. More security of your data: No doubt how secure your data can be with the cloud as it implements encryption, authentication methods.
3. More cloud storage: We can predict that more than 75% SMBs will make move to the cloud.

Web hosting is about hosting computational resources such as content, information, and applications that would be used by browsers or mobile applications as clients. Cloud computing as a Best technology has existed for some time now, the way businesses are using it has been rapidly changing. What started in many ways as simple Hosting services, has progressed to Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, Software as a Service and more.

A cloud allows users to access application, information, and data of all sorts on an online level rather than by use of actual hardware or devices. A company offering reliable cloud technology allows for computing to be done in a much more shared way, as a cloud provides a service rather than a product. Users get and share their information in a way that can allow them to access and give access to the whole world or any groups of people within their cloud.


WHAT THE FUTURE OF CLOUD COMPUTING HOLDS
With cloud computing and the technology behind it there are many potential opportunities and capabilities. Cloud computing can open a whole new world of jobs, services, platforms, applications, and much more. There are thousands of possibilities beginning to form as the future of cloud computing starts to really take off.


For instance, vendors and service providers can get on board to develop new and different ways of selling their goods and services to the cloud users through the cloud technology. It opens up a whole new platform for designers and web developers. Businesses and organizations can organize themselves and conduct business much more affordable and professionally. Social networking and keeping in touch with friends gets a great deal easier as well.
