Online, August 8, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Exabytes Network (SG) Pvt. Ltd., a leading web hosting provider last Tuesday launched its multi-location cloud hosting services accompanied by a cloud live demo at National Library Board, Victory Street in Singapore. Also took place at the event were presentations by ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) who shared on their experience in adopting cloud as well as a lucky draw featuring 'The New iPad', courtesy of Exabytes Singapore.

Cloud hosting also known as hosting in the cloud is the web hosting services delivered as a service rather than a product over the Internet and allows users to fully focus on their websites, eCommerce, products, profits, etc instead of hardware and the huge cost commonly incurred in upgrading. In the concept of cloud, all terminals are established to work together in one single environment resembling a cloud metaphorically, so that the application can make use of all the computing capability it has and distribute the cloud resources flexibly to different terminals whenever the needs arise.

According to Exabytes, cloud technology will soon replace the old idea of renting a server or sharing a server space also known as shared hosting. The company also quoted Gmail as one of the biggest users of cloud hosting which utilizes cloud technology to provide its users with optimum email loading speed even during peak hours. Often described as 'unlimited computing power (bandwidth, RAM, CPU power, storage, etc) on demand whenever needed', cloud technology allows users to save costs during web traffic off peak due to the fact that users are only billed on how much they use and not how long they use, the billing concept similar to an electric meter. In addition, cloud is frequently related to better website experience for its ability to maintain website loading speed even at times of unpredictable web traffic surge.

"The future is with cloud hosting. Everything can be hosted online. For example, a company can store its accounting software online and access it and its accounting data on any Internet connected PC or laptop anytime instead of installing the software on all its computers," CEO of Exabytes, KS Chan was quoted as saying in a statement during the recent launch.

According to Mr. Chan, the advantages of cloud hosting over conventional shared hosting / dedicated servers can be summarized as the following:
• website / computing power scalability
Website or server power is on demand, i.e. website or server power increases instantly during web traffic peak and decreases instantly during web traffic off peak which in turn provides web visitors with optimum website loading speed and best website experience
• cost saving due pay as you use
Website owners save costs during web traffic off peak due to the fact that they are only billed on how much they use and not how long they use, applying a billing concept similar to an electric meter.
• cost saving due to hardware elimination
Adopting cloud does not require one to purchase any hardware due to the fact that all webfiles, applications, data, etc. will be hosted on a virtual machine instead of a physical server.
• easy implementation
Cloud hosting is very easy to implement as website owners no longer need to purchase any software licenses or hardware. Setups are all automated.
• more internal IT resources
By employing cloud hosting, website owners can shift the workload of in-house IT team to the hosting provider and focus on profits and e-Commerce-related tasks.
• 24×7 reliable technical support
The virtual machines are usually supported by professional IT experts who work 24×7 to eliminate all users' technical concerns.
• high availability and fast website recovery
If server hardware fails, it will be automatically and instantly moved to other servers within the cloud. The website recovers only in a few minutes.
