In our experience, there is a lot of confusion surrounding cloud hosting and how it works, so we have put together this article to shed some light on the matter. Keep reading to learn the truth behind a few of the most common myths on the subject.
- Myth: Cloud Hosting is Less Secure – Cloud hosting is an industry term that refers to storing data on off-site servers rather than on in-house storage infrastructure. To some, this prospect seems inherently risky, and they believe they will get better security by storing all their data on-site. However, cloud providers heavily invest in security measures to keep your data safe, so using cloud hosting poses negligible risks.
- Myth: Cloud Hosting Slows You Down – Many people also worry that moving to cloud hosting will cause an increase in lag time, preventing programs from loading or responding as fast as they would if stored on in-house machines. In reality, any difference in latency is negligible.
- Myth: Moving to Cloud Hosting is Too Much Hassle – While it’s true that transitioning to cloud hosting does require work and planning, you don’t have to worry that it will completely disrupt your operations. Our team has extensive experience in facilitating cloud transitions, and we will make sure everything goes smoothly, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.
