Is Web-Based Computing and Cloud Computing the same?

Using the cloud is much like sharing your time in the past. That is to say, I run a data center where several clients may store and run their own Web-based services (or other stuff). Cloud is not the only option for web based computing. If you already have a server that you can query and utilize through the Internet and Web, you don't need anything more to have Web-based computing. Cloud is a hosting service made available over the Internet; it makes no sense or is easily accessible to consumers if it were not. Web refers to HTTP and the other Web Technologies. They have some overlapping meanings and are often used interchangeably, but they are distinct concepts.

Hello, Yes, Web -Hosting and Cloud Computing are the two names of identical technologies. For example; for online books or library, some people says it is Ebook, and some says it is a Digital Book. Both are same, but the names are different. However, cloud computing is the better name to recognize the web -bases computing. According to the words of National Institute of Standards in Technology, "A Cloud Computing is a model for enabling the convent, on -demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (eg, network, server, storage) that can be rapidly provisioned and releases with minimal management efforts for service provider interaction".

Web based computing and Cloud computing is the same. Since in web based computing, we use the servers in the cloud to do some processing and get back the result. In cloud computing, we do the exact same thing. In both the cases, we are accessing a machine/a part of a machine that is somewhere and is connected to the internet to process some data and obtain an end result.

Web-based computing and cloud computing is the same since in web-based computing we do use the servers in the cloud to do some processing and get back the result. In cloud computing, we do the exact same thing. In both the cases, we are accessing a machine/a part of a machine that is somewhere and is connected to the internet to process some data and obtain an end result. A central element of the cloud computing paradigm is multi-tenancy, in the sense that computing resources (physical servers, storage, networks, management software and even human expertise) are shared by more than one user, application or organization. This is what unlocks the value and promise of cloud computing - access to inexpensive and infinitely elastic computing capacity, available on demand and at short notice.

Cloud computing and Web hosting can seem alike because these two kinds of services can have very similar kinds of setups and deliver a lot of the same results. However, there are some critical differences between cloud computing and Web hosting services that have to do with the technical definition of each. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and moreover, the Internet (the cloud). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you are billed for water or electricity at home. In general, cloud computing services that include Web hosting can be an alternative to other traditional kinds of Web hosting that is not based on cloud computing principles. One of the biggest differences could be called a "single client" versus "multi-tenant" approach. Cloud computing services that include Web hosting are usually multi-tenant. That means that the files and data resources of multiple clients are housed on the same server. This provides flexibility and on-demand services for individual clients so that providers can scale up or scale down delivery easily. By contrast, dedicated Web hosting will involve a Web hosting company serving only one client on any given server. This provides more individual security and a more focused approach to serving an individual customer.
