The Cloud Computing is a new kind of development and use of applications directly over the Internet, where your data is stored on a network in order to be accessed from any computer and from anywhere in the world.
Most of the people gets confused between the terms cloud computing and cloud hosting. They live in the misconception that both are one and the same. But, let me explain you the exact difference between both the terms.
Basically, a Cloud Computing is a cluster of servers connected together that adds processing power to this technology and Cloud Hosting is an implementation of that technology which is further offered to users in a new form of web hosting called as Cloud Server Hosting.
With cloud hosting, a user can determine how much processing power, memory and storage space is required at the time of signing the plan, with monthly fees ranging from agreement. Once the agreement is signed, the server hosting provider takes a commitment to deliver certain features regardless of fluctuations in the use of servers.
Each server in this type of hosting acts as a unique machine, where you have a complete freedom to choose which operating system will come up and have one or more IP addresses. The major difference compared to a dedicated server is in the way of operation, since, after all, instead of a unique machine, you have a virtual server floating in the cloud.
For the hosting companies, Cloud Server Hosting are a great option to take better benefits of available resources and thus earn more income.

Thanks for taking time in writing this very informative post. At the moment I am trying to learn the concept of cloud computing. Your article has provided me with a nice starting insight. I have found this site offering a free trial of services such as FTP server hosting, file sharing plug-ins for blogs, and cloud file storage. I will give it a try in order for me to get a stronger and solid grasp of this wonderful concept of cloud computing.
