How Cloud Hosting Works
Cloud hosting operates on virtualization technology, where physical servers are divided
into virtual machines that share resources like CPU, RAM, and storage. These resources
are pooled from multiple data centers, often located globally, to ensure redundancy and
uptime. Users access these resources on-demand, paying only for what they use, which
makes cloud hosting highly scalable. For instance, a website can handle sudden traffic
spikes by instantly allocating more resources, unlike traditional hosting’s fixed
limitations.
