Cloud hosting is an increasingly popular type of web hosting these days. The main idea behind cloud hosting is to split things up across different servers. Instead of your website running on just one server, it runs on a group of servers working together. This group of servers is called the “cloud.” The cloud-based web hosting provides all the computing power and resources your website needs.

With shared hosting, your website shares a server with others. All the websites share and split up the server’s storage space, memory (RAM), and processing power (CPU). This can cause issues if too many sites need resources at once.

Cloud hosting is different. It uses virtualization technologies to establish a dedicated storage cluster for your website. The storage is redundant – it’s copied across multiple locations. So, if one storage location goes down, the others can still serve your site’s data. The processing power (CPU cores) and memory (RAM) can also be upgraded easily if you need more resources to handle traffic spikes or growth.

Varnish cache is a tool that can make your website load much faster, up to 10,000 times quicker. It works especially well for websites with lots of content like text, images, and videos.

Many of the biggest, high-traffic websites use Varnish caching to speed things up. This includes Wikipedia, major news sites like The New York Times, The Hindu, and The Guardian, as well as popular social media and content sites like Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, and Tumblr.

Caching temporarily stores website data so it can be quickly served instead of having to be loaded fresh each time. This dramatically improves website performance and loading speeds for the visitor.
