Why are Enterprises Investing so Heavily in the Cloud?

In recent years, cloud infrastructure has become one of the most essential parts of modern businesses. Cloud services have grown from a relatively niche area of IT, to become a mainstream business solution. While companies large and small once stored their data on owned and operated hardware, the trend has now shifted so that businesses rely on data centers and decentralized server networks for their data storage and computational tasks. There’s no sign that cloud adoption is slowing down.

The largest cloud service providers are growing exponentially. Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Services division generates more than 22% of the company’s total revenue, beating Windows and other Server Products. Amazon, the world’s largest cloud service provider, generates 16% of its total revenue from AWS Cloud.

Why are companies from small businesses to large enterprises investing so heavily in the cloud, and what does this mean for your own business?

What is the Cloud?

The cloud is often thrown around as a buzzword and this can make it difficult to grasp as a concept. The most important thing to recognize about the cloud is that it simply refers to remote servers rather than on-site servers. The remote servers sit in data centers around the world.

The Web Hosting Technology Trends That Matter in 2023

More than 5.2 billion people have access to and use the internet almost every single day. That’s more than 65% of the global population. As a platform to communicate, share information, and reach an audience, nothing else comes close.

With the internet being such an important aspect of doing business in the modern economy, companies of all backgrounds and sizes can make use of a reliable web hosting solution. If you need web hosting for a customer-facing site, web apps, data storage and backup, or any other purpose, you’ll find reliable solutions with HostRound.

As you explore your options you can look at 2023’s web hosting technology trends to keep everything in context.

Secure Connections Matter

Five years ago, Google made the decision to inform users of its Chrome browser when accessing a non-HTTPS site. A message available along the address bar warned users that non-HTTPS sites could be compromised and that it was risky to share any type of personal information.

Users now overwhelmingly prefer websites with secure connections. Having a secure site can win trust. In addition to this, secure sites appear to rank better in Google’s search algorithm.

If you’re developing a site in 2023, it’s important that you use an SSL certificate to generate a secure connection between the server and the user. HostRound’s web hosting solutions fully support this.

Redundancy is Becoming More Important

The Pandemic made it even more critical to do business online. Physical interactions were limited, and more consumers transitioned to online shopping, online services, and even online work. Continue reading The Web Hosting Technology Trends That Matter in 2023

Is Shared Hosting Enough for Your Website?

While shared hosting is, in a technical sense, the most modest type of web hosting, it is typically enough for most small businesses and sites that don’t need a lot of resources. In most cases, it can deliver more than enough for all your needs, and you’ll get shared hosting at an affordable price.

Learn more about shared hosting to decide if it’s your best option.

What is Shared Hosting, and What are its Advantages?

Shared hosting describes a type of hosting environment where at least two websites share the resources of a single server. In reality, there are typically hundreds of sites on the same hardware.

If you’re starting a new business or looking to build a new website, you’ll need some form of hosting. Shared hosting is the most affordable option. Your website will be stored as data on a server, which is essentially a specialized type of computer running dedicated software. Because most sites don’t need the full power of the hardware, multiple sites are hosted to improve efficiency. The result is an affordable solution, but it comes with limitations.

Before we talk about the limitations of shared hosting, let’s consider the main advantages…

      • It’s the ideal solution for low-traffic websites.
      • If your site is efficient and resource-light, shared hosting could be the best option.
      • There are no major technical requirements to get set up with shared hosting.
      • Scalability is an option, allowing you to add resources as you need them.
      • Management is easy through intuitive cPanel interfaces.
      • If you need to build a WordPress website, there are shared hosting plans designed specifically for you.

The cost and convenience are major advantages of choosing shared hosting. Depending on how much traffic you need, and how heavy your website gets, shared hosting could be all that you ever need. Continue reading Is Shared Hosting Enough for Your Website?
