"The Cloud" Part 2 - Cloud hosting
Yesterday I discussed the idea of having too much faith in “The Cloud”, I covered this by looking at cloud services such as Flickr and YouTube. However I did not touch on hosting your web site on a cloud service.
Many web hosting companies are now offering some sort of cloud hosting service, the problem is, because the term cloud is so wooly these cloud hosting services differ greatly.
Are we putting too much faith in “The Cloud”?
In the last few years “Cloud Computing” has become the buzz word on the Internet, and everyone is offering “Cloud Services”. But what is “The Cloud” and are we putting too much faith in it?
According to Wikipedia, “Cloud computing is a way of computing, via the Internet, that broadly shares computer resources instead of using software or storage on a local PC”
