Cloud hosting is a type of web hosting where your website or application is hosted on a network of virtual servers, rather than on a single physical server. Instead of relying on one server to store all your data, cloud hosting uses multiple interconnected servers spread across different locations. This allows for more flexibility, scalability, and reliability compared to traditional hosting methods.
Cloud hosting and shared hosting differ primarily in resource allocation, scalability, performance, and cost. Cloud hosting uses multiple virtual servers that share resources, allowing for greater flexibility, scalability, and reliability. If one server fails, others can take over, ensuring minimal downtime. It is ideal for businesses or websites with fluctuating traffic, offering a "pay-as-you-go" model but at a higher cost. In contrast, shared hosting involves multiple websites sharing a single physical server, which can lead to performance issues if one site uses too many resources. It’s more affordable and simpler to manage but has limited scalability and less reliability, making it suitable for small websites with low traffic. Cloud hosting offers more control, customization, and better performance, while shared hosting is more basic and cost-effective for those with simpler needs.
You should choose cloud hosting when you need flexible, scalable, and reliable resources—especially for growing websites, apps, or business-critical platforms. Unlike shared hosting, cloud hosting offers better performance, high uptime through redundancy, and pay-as-you-go pricing, making it ideal for handling traffic spikes, running multiple projects, or needing global reach. It's also more secure and developer-friendly, with features like isolated environments, DDoS protection, and automation tools.
Okuhle Digital's Cloud Hosting Services provide maximum reliability by automatically creating three copies (mirrors) of your website data across multiple devices. This ensures your data is safe and protected.
Instead of your website being hosted on just one physical server, it is hosted virtually across multiple physical servers. This virtual hosting environment can draw resources like storage space and bandwidth from multiple servers as needed.
The cloud hosting service uses a storage system called Ceph Storage. Ceph provides triple redundancy, meaning your data is copied and stored in 3 different locations. This prevents data loss if one storage location fails.
Ceph is a distributed system spread across multiple cloud hosting servers, so there is no single point of failure. It can scale up to extremely large storage capacities. Ceph is also open-source and free to use.
Ceph automatically replicates and backs up your data across its storage locations to protect against failures. It doesn't require any special hardware.
Our Cloud Hosting plans allow up to 8GB of RAM and 8 processor cores per order.
You can request additional dedicated IP addresses by opening a support ticket for your cloud hosting costs. Extra IPs are available at a low cost.
For our cloud hosting packages, Okuhle backs up data regularly for disaster recovery. We can only restore your website, email, and database content from these backups upon request and for a cost, subject to availability.
However, we recommend that you take full responsibility for backing up your own data and content for your cloud hosting packages and do not solely rely on our backups to keep your data safe.
As an alternative to your cloud hosting packages, you can set up automated backups for your website through the CodeGuard website backup service to ensure you have reliable backups of your content that you fully control.
All of our Cloud Hosting plans use SSD (Solid State Drive) storage. SSDs provide several key benefits compared to older hard disk drives:
Okuhle Digital's cloud hosting price plans feature free cPanel. Management of your hosting service is simple using cPanel at this price. A user-friendly online interface lets you handle website files and content, domain names, hosting orders, and invoicing using cPanel included in the cloud hosting price.
Yes, Cloud Hosting includes Email Hosting via cPanel with 10GB storage. Advanced options like G Suite and Business Email are also available.
