There is a lot of difference between hosting a physical server and a cloud-based server. As you will learn the problems with maintaining a physical server, you will realize why so many people and practically the whole world is turning towards the setup of cloud-based servers. Cloud servers mean an escape from the hurdles and burdens of maintaining your server, and also gaining total control on it. You get maintenance and troubleshooting included in the lease or rent costs. And that’s how things get simplified for you.







Is a cloud server what you need?



Why is a cloud-based server better than a home computer based server?
You must have seen tutorials and solutions on using your home computer to set up your own server. Yet this is not a feasible option compared to setting up the server on the cloud for three important reasons, and they are as follows:
  • The running cost of a computer at home is borne totally by you. If the machine runs 24/7, then the hardware of the personal computer, which is not actually made to run uninterrupted will need more support and care, time to time repairs and replacements. Moreover, there will be a good amount of electricity consumption too for running it always. This will make up for a big cost factor which will be huge for you after you calculate for a whole month, and then add up several months' costs. Here, on the other hand, renting a cloud-based server and set up your server there will incur much fewer charges. 
  • A general personal computer however costly it is and whichever brand or construction it is of will not be able to serve you round the clock without rest. They are not designed that way. And any minutes of rest for the computer means that many minutes of downtime for your website. But when a cloud server hosts your website, you never face such downtime, as the cloud server is a huge setup at a remote location, which is supported by the appropriate hardware.
  • Support by engineers is one important reason you need the support of a cloud hosting service. You cannot be the all in one to maintain a website, maintain a home-based server, do the troubleshooting and all. You would need a technical hand too which is not feasible cost wise when you are dealing with things all alone. But a cloud-based server backed up by this business’s technical assistance will keep you sorted.

Why think about setting up a web server at a cloud?
It's highly advantageous to set up a web server at the cloud. Even bigger businesses use a cloud-based server for some of the main features and benefits which are as follows:
  • The cost factor is a huge component in considering cloud computing. Cloud-based web servers or hybrid servers are a great way to cut down costs. If you are maintaining your website at a cloud-based server, you are actually sharing the server’s space like many other users too. And that’s why the cost comes down making it affordable for you and all other users too, who have rented or leased the servers.
  • Installation of a web-based server is easy. You need not invest in any hardware.  You can get everything through the cloud-based server.
  • Your information and database are completely safe with the remote web server. You need not take any tension. Rather any damage to the hardware of your home computer will not affect your websites at any cost.
  • With this kind of server, you may access things from anywhere as long as you are connected to the internet, and hence are not restricted location wise.
  • You still have total control over everything your way. Install any software you want, and try any style of usage you like. And without taking the hassle of maintenance and support, you will gain full control on the web server you create.
  • The home-based personal computer will never be so much fast to give your operation that much of execution speed. It won’t be powerful enough to handle queries as good as a high-power cloud computer that contains your web server.
  • Using a shared server will be a big threat to your website’s reputation. If one site starts sending out unethical emails them all other sites in the server may get blacklisted. But if you set up your own web server on the cloud, then you will be in control here too, and the reputation of your site will be in your hands.

Setting up your own web server
Setting up your web server is one of the most important decisions you can take to ensure total security and control on your server and space. Host your own site and as many websites as you want in that space, and stay in total control. You need not be a computer geek to learn this. You can be a novice, and still, learn to set up your own web server on a cloud-based system through step by step execution of instructions. Hosting setup on your own web server leased from a cloud service is really that easy and helps you gain control on everything without getting into the mess of hardware maintenance and without burdening you with heavy hosting fees. It is recommended reading the web server installation guide which is a total DIY process from some helpful resources.

Finally
Maintaining a server, maintaining your own space, supporting it with software, creating and running your own websites, everything needs a lot of planning. And the plans are executed well and give great returns when you tread the first steps carefully. When you install your own web server, you take a good stable first step. This helps you create one or many sites in your own controlled environment under total security. Anything that happens is your responsibility except for the hardware maintenance which is the toughest job and costliest too, and this part is maintained by the company from whom you lease this cloud space for the web server.
