The IT industry has become notorious for putting a hyper curve that supersedes all new technologies. Usually the curve starts when any new technology is offered by a few companies. Though the new technology may seem promising, but the media, bloggers and advertisers create such hype about it in so less time that expectations run high and the technology is not able to deliver what it intended to.

‘Cloud hosting’ by web servers is a good example of this curve. It basically means that your customer will choose you to serve their website, based on the resources you have in your hosting environment. This can be CPU processing, disk space, bandwidth, privacy, network access capacity etc. Scaling options are available as vertical and horizontal additions. For vertical scaling bigger servers are arranged to handle the load. In horizontal scaling additional servers are added, having same sizes, so that the workload can be distributed evenly across these machines. When changes are taken in either direction the normal operation of the organization is disturbed and may result in long processing hours keeping the IT team busy for long hours. These measures mislead people to think that cloud hosting curve is facing a downturn while actual reason is it is being over-used, infact almost misused, by an increasing number of companies offering cheap web hosting solutions.
