Tantalizing Cloud Apps Living Within Web Hosting Data Centers

The cloud server environment offered by leading web hosting companies over the Internet is transforming the way a small business or independent contractor does business on the web.
While several years ago, just having a website presence was considered enough for online success, this has matured into a much more competitive landscape where generating leads online is now a cutthroat and demanding business.

Static pages have been supplanted by dynamic websites, with much more sophisticated content marketing and e-commerce configurations that place enormous pressure on hosting companies to deliver content quickly and reliably to Internet users around the world.
The web-hosting infrastructure typically offers these technical benefits in response to this tumultuous environment:
• Launch new servers in minutes — not hours.
• 99.9% server and network uptime
• Isolated, secure IT environments
• Daily backups
Furthermore, since Google now requires that websites load quickly or face penalties in the form of lower search engine rankings, customers are becoming extremely selective when choosing which provider to power their website.
They are also demanding a wider choice of Internet software to power both their front-end and back-end business processes, reflecting a more sophisticated working environment than in past decades.
Web hosting companies have responded to this challenge by implementing new technologies, including cloud computing in the form of cloud servers and virtual private servers that also offer a dazzling array of software products to power various business processes.
While WordPress, Joomla and Drupal are just three software packages that stand out in terms of blogging, content marketing and general search engine optimization software, there are literally hundreds of others that will satisfy a wide range of business goals.
These include:
• PostBooks
• Open-AudIT
• ChimpExpress
• Atrium
• OrangeHRM
• Magento
• osCommerce
• OpenVBX
• SugarCRM
But the above is just the tip of the iceberg. Other development platforms exist for Python, LAMP and Apache, highlighting the incredible versatility and diversity inherent in modern day cloud data server packages.
Taking WordPress as an example package, customers will appreciate the technical and IT infrastructural support that comes loaded by default in the shape of Ubuntu operating systems (just one flavor of Linux OS available), Memcache enablement for faster database access, Varnish to increase HTTP delivery and the availability of automatic backups.
This software maturity inside cloud servers is day by day drawing thousands of IT administrators to VPS packages to help simplify their business processes and take advantage of affordable hosting costs.
