Is it possible to host my website using Cloud Hosting without risking any potential data breaches?

I agree with most of the responses on this forum, and that is why it's crucial to ask yourself why you need cloud hosting in the first place. Typically, businesses or enterprise-level websites that require rapid scalability, or application-based environments opt for cloud hosting. However, that does not mean you cannot take advantage of cloud hosting for other purposes.

To choose the right cloud hosting provider, you must first determine your specific hosting requirements and needs. For example, if your client needs to accommodate more than 200,000 users per month with consistent availability across five countries, you may need to recommend a provider that offers a content delivery network, such as ResellerClub, to meet their budget.

It's essential to list your specific requirements and explore how others narrow down their hosting needs for guidance. This approach will help you identify the best way forward to choose the ideal cloud hosting provider that aligns with your business needs.

The majority of internet data breaches occur at the application level. Whether you host your application on a VPS, Cloud, or Dedicated Server, the level of security offered is almost identical.
Improving security involves reinforcing your software environment, and it is the responsibility of programmers to write code securely. Even if the hosting is highly secure, if the code is poorly written, there will still be data breaches.

To protect yourself from data leakage, first of all you need to think about the password. In no case do not make a password that means significant dates in your life. Cybercriminals crаck such passwords very easily. The password must necessarily contain such a sequence of letters and numbers that the password is very complex.

I will also advise you to use a reliable encryption system and use proven means of protection: systems against data leaks and antiviruses. Do not spare money on a good antivirus.

Can you recommend good reliable encryption system?

At the moment, cloud hosting has gained popularity. There are a lot of suppliers, there are a lot of offers on the market. I think that you should choose among those who offer the best protection.

Make sure it has fully managed servers which really indicates that you can set up and manage the infrastructure and server software. Also the support must be online like 24/7

What is the difference between cloud hosting and other types? Only greater flexibility - the site, like any data arrays, is hosted in a virtual space located in a cluster consisting of physical servers. Here, an additional "bonus" is fast scalability, for example, when the load on a regular server increases dramatically. A data leak has the same chance of being in the cloud...

Before buying a VPS, contact technical support, ask about data protection. Learn more about scalability if your project grows. Also i recommend to find out about all sorts of hidden fees that may not be reported to the client in advance.
