Cloud computing can be the best web hosting option for small businesses for several reasons. First of all, cloud computing can increase productivity and cut IT budget costs. For small business websites cloud hosting can offer features that conventional web hosting cannot.

However, it's important to read up on reviews for different cloud hosting providers before you select one. Especially for companies that operate their business entirely online, ensuring that their website is always accessible is the to priority. A site that's sluggish or down will give a bad impression to potential customers, and could result in lost sales. That's why selecting the best web hosting provider is so important. Cloud hosting offers reliable service, with many providers guaranteeing up to 100% up time. The reason they can guarantee this is because the cloud hosting provider stores multiple copies of your website on different servers, so it will always be loaded faster and never go down.

The FBI has removed servers from a top web hosting facility in Reston, Virginia in an early morning raid on Tuesday. This has resulted in 120 websites being down. The facility is identified, as owned by DigitalOne of Switzerland.
An investigation into one of DigitalOne's customers has resulted in a raid at the top web hosting company's ground in which FBI investigators have disconnected tens of servers unrelated to the targeted customer. This has resulted in a widespread service disruption for other DigitalOne clients. The act has hurt the reputation of this top web hosting company, whose Chief Executive Sergej Ostroumow, says they do not identify the customer FBI is investigating into as their client. He further informs that other sites have been down for over 30 hours due to the FBI's act. These include ones belonging to publishing houses, payment providers and smaller web-hosting companies that use this top web hosting company's data center to serve their clients.
