What is Cloud Hosting and How it can Save you Money

A Massive Performance Upgrade

We recently migrated our servers to a cloud hosting environment through VPS.net, and the improvement in performance has been phenomenal. Admittedly, our old shared hosting setup wasn’t doing us any favours, but the upgrade has been night and day.

Our websites now load faster, handle traffic more efficiently, and offer a better experience for visitors.

What Is Cloud Hosting?

Cloud hosting is a modern hosting solution where you purchase nodes of computing power in a virtualised cloud infrastructure. Think of it as renting exactly the amount of server capacity you need, no more, no less.

If your website experiences a sudden traffic spike (e.g. after a campaign launch or media appearance), you can instantly scale up your resources. When traffic levels out, you can scale back down. It's flexible, responsive, and cost-efficient.

VPS.net provides excellent usage statistics so you can monitor your resource consumption and adjust accordingly.

Managed Support Took the Pressure Off

While the idea of configuring a new server from scratch was intimidating, I opted for VPS.net’s Managed Support. They:

• Set up the server

• Migrated all our data and databases

• Optimised everything for WordPress

All I had to do were a few final tweaks. It was well worth the cost for peace of mind and professional setup.

Why It Makes Business Sense

The cost of cloud hosting, particularly with managed support, is negligible when you consider its benefits, especially if your website plays a vital role in your business.

In fact, it’s more affordable than a dedicated server and far more powerful than shared hosting. If you're serious about speed, reliability, and scalability, cloud hosting is the way forward.
