Cloud Hosting is a type of web hosting that uses a network of virtual servers to host applications and websites, instead of relying on a single physical server. This configuration allows for great flexibility and scalability, as resources can be quickly adjusted to adapt to changes in demand. Additionally, cloud hosting improves reliability and availability because, if one server fails, others can take over automatically, minimizing downtime.
