What is cloud hosting?

Updated Hostnali team

Short answer

Cloud hosting runs your website on cloud servers where each account is isolated with its own share of CPU and memory, so a busy neighbour can't slow your site down. We look after the servers (security, updates, monitoring, daily backups) and you manage your sites and email in cPanel, with no server skills needed.

How Hostnali cloud hosting works

  • LiteSpeed web servers and NVMe SSD storage for fast page loads.
  • CloudLinux isolation: each account gets its own share of CPU and memory, and a problem on another account can’t spread to yours.
  • Managed for you: security, updates, monitoring and daily backups are our job.
  • cPanel for websites, email, databases and one-click WordPress with Softaculous.

Most websites are well served by cloud hosting. Move to corporate hosting when you need guaranteed resources and a dedicated IP, or to a VPS when you need a server of your own.
