What you should Know about Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting is where a client’s website data is stored on virtual servers that use the internet as the base to get to a network of physical web servers.  Unlike traditional web servers where the data is in data centers the hosting company HQs for example, cloud hosted data can be distributed on web servers around the world and not necessarily belonging to a web hosting company. In this arrangement, the client pays for the service according to use i.e. the demands of the site.

Benefits of cloud hosting
Clients get more from cloud hosting than traditional hosting;
1.       Flexibility and scalability
Surges in data demand are not constrained by physical storage unlike in conventional hosting. The client can accommodate spikes in usage with relative ease, paying for only what was used. This is enabled by pulling resources from more virtual servers making the hosting service offer massive amounts of storage.
2.       Reliability
Unlike physical servers, virtual servers are not susceptible to physical risks. This means that if one server goes offline, the client will continue pulling resources off the other servers. Cloud platforms can withstand damage to a data center as they will pull resources off other data centers around the world, allowing for high website uptime for clients.
3.      Responsive
Virtual servers are able to respond faster to abruptly rising demands in data usage.  This is especially good for clients dealing in viral content which can lead to massive hits on a website in a few hours.
4.     Economical
A client is able to concentrate on core business services without worrying about issues like network maintenance or server upgrades.  This reduces expenses on manpower and infrastructure.
 Shared cloud hosting
Having a dedicated host is uneconomical for a small business with simple website demands.  Cloud hosting companies allocate several clients space on one web server. Each client’s data and website configurations are stored on a separate partition. Shared hosting is cheaper than dedicated hosting.
Varnish cache
This is a web proxy caching system where requests are intercepted before getting to the server.  This caching is done on the server’s memory rather than the disk storage. This way, the server is able to server more requests at a time. This is ideal for repeated requested.
Best plans for small businesses

Know more about Nich Cloud ..

Overview In this article we will take a step back from my typical technical discussions and how-to guides to think about the path that lies ahead of us, in our industry. Today we have a very polarizing environment, similar in fact to the US political system.  On one side you have extremely customized on-premise environments that serve specific purpose or business niches but on the whole are hard, if not impossible to maintain and very costly. On the other side you have generic public cloud, infrastructure that always works (well almost, nothing is perfect), scales and is available at click of a button with predictable pricing structure but doesn’t fit specific purpose by default. The industry has for many years recognized these worlds were growing further apart and defined the solution as hybrid cloud management to manage them or even bridge the worlds. But gluing two polarized worlds together was only ever destined to fail. Hybrid cloud, which often drags with it the managem...

What is the Difference between Floating IP and private IP

Private IP Address A private IP address is assigned to an instance's network-interface by the DHCP server. The address is visible from within the instance by using a command like “ip a”. The address is typically part of a private network and is used for communication between instances in the same broadcast domain via virtual switch (L2 agent on each compute node). It can also be accessible from instances in other private networks via virtual router (L3 agent). Floating IP Address A floating IP address is a service provided by Neutron. It's not using any DHCP service or being set statically within the guest. As a matter of fact the guest's operating system has no idea that it was assigned a floating IP address. The delivery of packets to the interface with the assigned floating address is the responsibility of Neutron's L3 agent. Instances with an assigned floating IP address can be accessed from the public network by the floating IP. A floating IP address ...

How to calculate server requirement for your website.

Hardware requirements: Minimal hardware Verify that your hardware meets the requirements of the selected version of the system. Depending on your needs you might manage with less system resources than recommended in the table below. However, most users risk being unpleasantly surprised if they ignore these suggestions. As can be seen, it is possible to run a graphical desktop environment on older or low-end computers. In this case, we recommend installing a desktop environment that uses less resources than KDE; XFCE seems a good choice. Calculate Directory Server CPU i686 or newer (Intel Pentium Pro and higher, AMD Athlon and above) RAM 256 MB Disk Space 4 GB Swap usually not less than the RAM size Calculate Linux Desktop KDE CPU i686 or newer (Intel Pentium Pro and higher, AMD Athlon and above) RAM 512 MB Disk Space 7 GB Swap usually not less than the RAM size Calculate Linux Desktop XFCE CPU i686 or newer (Intel Pentium Pro and higher, AMD Athlon and ab...
