OpenVPN Cloud Hosting For Your Next Web Hosting Choice
There are several ways of hosting your website on the internet today. These include the options of shared hosting, Virtual Private Servers and dedicated servers. Recently cloud hosting using openvpn has become an option that you should look into.
When people talk about putting their site in the cloud, they are talking about having their website on a cluster of computers. This group of machines shares resources such as processing power and memory in a pool. A company pays the company depending on how much resources you use. It is the same principle as paying your monthly power bill, the more electricity you use the more you pay.
To create these networks of machines many providers use a cross platform software called openvpn. This is a open source software that was created to create these clusters and manage resources as well as security across several different servers. These connections and resource sharing can even be made across different operating systems such as Unix, Linux and Microsoft Windows.
With other options on having a web presence from shared to dedicated there is the problem that you are limited to a single machine. No matter how powerful the server any growing company will hit the point where they will need more than one individual machine can give. Using a group of machine will prevent this problem from developing. The load can be distributed among two or more cloud server options easily.
The next advantage is ease of implementation of upgrades and changes for your site. An upgrade or a new service can be easily and quickly implemented as needed any time of the day. This is harder and time intensive on other web hosting arrangements.
The web is a twenty four hour a day operation every day of the year that requires your site to always be available. Any individual server can not guarantee that option year around. A group of servers though that can take over when any one machine needs upkeep or repair is better able to meet that demand for a business oriented website.
Another point in using cloud hosting services is the pool can offer combined resources that a single machine can not provide. The current hosting services you use may be Linux or Windows with their particular web technologies. You may want to use the Linux PHP web programming language when you were on a Windows machine or Active Server Pages if your had a Linux box for your website. Using the shared resources in this service it would be possible to deploy both of those options.
There is the additional advantage of being able to outsource several of your IT support costs. Server and storage supports go down when using this web clustering solution since the company provides that as part of the expenses you pay. So those resources can be redirected to other projects or expenses in your company.
Looking at these points gives you many advantages of switching over to cloud hosting for your next website. This choice provides ease of management, the ability to upgrade your services as needed and decreased cost. Combined these are good reasons to pick this service on the internet as your next choice in hosting
