Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
Cloud shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites share resources on a cloud-based server network instead of a single physical server.
It offers better uptime, scalability, and reliability compared to traditional shared hosting, since your site can be served from multiple connected servers.
However, resources are still shared among users, and it doesn’t offer full control like VPS or cloud server hosting. It’s a great option for small to medium websites needing stability without high costs.
Cloud shared hosting is based on a network of interconnected servers, offering better uptime, load balancing, and scalability. If one server fails, another takes over, ensuring higher reliability. Traditional shared hosting, on the other hand, runs multiple websites on a single server, which can lead to slowdowns if one site uses too many resources. Cloud hosting also isolates resources better, providing more consistent performance.
We host some of the busiest sites in the world – so you won’t have any worries there! Our self-built platform grows with your website and business. It ‘autoscales’ – meaning that even if your site receives a sudden spike in traffic, it will be able to handle it.
The magic comes from our load-balancers. They’re constantly monitoring all requests to our network. When a website receives a large number of hits it’s quickly isolated and moved to its own dedicated backend. This keeps your business running quickly at the most critical of times, but also means that your neighbours on our shared hosting aren’t affected by your spikes in traffic. We call these spikes the ‘Dragons’ Den Effect’. This is truly unlimited web hosting.
Here are the main advantages of cloud web hosting:
- High Uptime – Your site stays online even if one server fails, thanks to multiple connected servers.
- Scalability – Easily upgrade resources like RAM or CPU as your traffic grows.
- Better Performance – Load is balanced across servers, ensuring faster load times.
- Reliability – Data is mirrored across servers, reducing risk of data loss.
- Flexibility – Suitable for websites of all sizes, from small blogs to large e-commerce stores.

VPS requires more technical skills from the user but our cloud shared hosting is much more user-friendly. VPS hosting provides dedicated virtual resources and full control over your server environment. Cloud shared hosting, while more stable than traditional shared hosting, still shares resources among users. VPS is ideal for high-traffic sites; cloud shared is good for moderate growth.
