How to Find an Awesome Cloud Platform

An awesome cloud platform will have certain characteristics that show you its quality. Here are a few examples.

24×7 Support

The truth is, if you want a cloud platform that gives you the kind of flexibility and customization you need for your business, it should really have support around the clock. After all, you have no idea when some problem is going to pop up on your account.

The more you let your site stay down and off the cloud, the less business you are likely to get, and the more likely you are to annoy your customers. Any time you use any kind of new tool or new way of doing things through your site the possibility exists of a problem.

You really don’t want to be stuck waiting for the support team to wake up in the morning while you lose business all night and your customers decide to move on to a site that actually stays up.

Comprehensive Security Functions

Another important factor for verifying the quality of a cloud hosting site is what sort of security features they offer. For example, it’s worth asking yourself how many points of protection the hosting service has. If it has more than six or so, then you know they’ve put a lot of effort into helping you cover your bases.

It’s also worth checking to see if they have specialty security options like firewalls, a Network Security Analyzer and IPS.

If you are looking at a hosting service that doesn’t have these options, it’s worth moving on to find one that does.
