Can cloud hosting be a good choice for e-commerce business?

Since the launch of cloud hosting, it has created such a buzz in the market that most of the large corporate companies have migrated to the cloud hosting solutions. At such stage, I would like to know that, can eukhost cloud server help small e-commerce businesses?

If not then, why and if they provide cloud solutions for small e-commerce sites as well, then why many of the e-commerce shops not using cloud web servers?

eUKhost Cloud Hosting can definitely help e-commerce businesses of all sizes and we have a hosting solution available for all e-commerce hosting requirements including custom requirements if any.

With regards to Cloud Servers, they are not specifically aimed at customers looking for e-commerce hosting but for customers who need 100% uptime however e-commerce stores are among those who need 100% uptime.

Besides these Cloud Servers and Private Cloud Cluster solutions that we offer currently, we will also be coming up with Cloud Hosting plans shortly which would be similar to Shared Hosting but they will come with 100% uptime guarantee. These plans would be ideal for small e-commerce stores or for those who have just started out.

Oh.. That's a very great news, atleast small enterprises and online businesses can afford such high technology solutions which will provide them the same uptime as dedicated and vps solutions. BTW, are these Private Cloud Cluster solutions different from normal cloud hosting services? Also, what different features would these new cloud hosting plans will offer other than uptime compare to typical shared hosting plans?

eUKhost Cloud is a set of multiple servers setup in a Cluster in order to increase availability and scalability. These servers are further partitioned into multiple Virtual Machines (VMs). These VMs are referred to as Cloud Servers. Private Cloud is also a set of multiple servers in a cluster however in this case, the entire Cloud belongs to one customer and the number of VMs he wants to create on it is his choice.

A cloud hosting account gives you the access to various servers. An e-commerce business requires timely updates and hosting facilities. With a cloud hosting account, you will never encounter any problems in terms of sever availability and you also get the access to a huge pool of resources.

Im not too sure about what you mean by "A cloud hosting account gives you the access to various servers." But, yes, you need not worry about availability as Scalability is the primary intention behind the concept of Cloud Hosting

[Veronica]

By 'A cloud hosting account gives you the access to various servers' I mean that a cloud hosting account is based on a cluster of servers. This makes cloud hosting much more efficient form of hosting as you can host on any of the servers present in the cloud.

[Monica]

Yes absolutely! The cluster of servers makes web hosting much more efficient and cheap. I have an online store that is managed perfectly well with a cloud hosting plan.

[MattBarthorp]

Ah now I understand what you actually meant, thanks for the explanation.
Despite the fact that your website is hosted on a cluster of servers, you would not be knowing the exact server details that's hosting your site. Instead,what you would be knowing is the Cluster number for example, Cluster 1, 3, 8 etc. This is due to the simple fact that the resources of all the servers in a cluster are clubbed together as one.

Indeed, also since e-commerce businesses have large amount of traffic to their online stores on various occasions, it is very necessary to have high availability and a cloud server is the only solution that could offer you high availability even during peak hours and occasions.

As name mentioned Cloud hosting is a web hosting service delivered from a group of connected servers. We also called it as clustered hosting. It provides good scalability. You can easily increase or decrease resources without moving sites to other servers.

Yes,

Cloud hosting has grown in popularity over the last several years. It’s what happens when computer applications are run from an external location rather than on a personal computer.

One of the biggest reasons to consider cloud hosting is the limitless possibility involved. With cloud hosting, you are not limited by the space of a physical computer. Cloud hosting allows multiple clouds (or virtual machines) to be connected. Cloud computing means that the work can be done in several places at once. The only limitation is how quickly you want to do your work.

Another reason to consider cloud hosting is security. Since your data will be stored by a third party, the safety of your information is guaranteed by the host. Cloud hosting networks undergo continuous testing to verify that no potential risks exist. If the unexpected happens, your cloud host will work hard to fix the problem and prevent anything from happening again.
