What is cloud hosting? A simple explanation for beginners 11:53 AM

Imagine you want to build a website. That website needs somewhere to “live” so people can visit it online. Traditionally, websites were stored on one physical computer, called a server. If that server had problems—say, it broke down or got overloaded—your website could go offline.

Cloud hosting is a modern way of storing your website or app on the internet. Instead of relying on a single computer, your website’s data lives on a network of many connected computers (called “the cloud”). These computers work together to keep your site running smoothly.

Why is this helpful?

  • If one computer in the cloud goes down, others can instantly pick up the slack, so your website stays online.
  • Cloud hosting can easily handle lots of visitors at once, because it can use more computers as needed.
  • You only pay for the resources you use, making it flexible and often more affordable.

In short:
Cloud hosting is like renting space for your website on a group of computers that work together. It’s reliable, flexible, and designed to keep your site up and running no matter what happens behind the scenes.
