10 Best Cloud Hosting Platform for Startup to Big Organization

There are many cloud hosting providers; however, very few offer a range of products to host from a simple static website to complex machine learning applications.

As per Flexera, AWS (Amazon Web Service) is a leader.

So undoubtedly, Amazon is the leader today, but others are doing pretty well. Le’ts take a look at some of the following reliable cloud platform to host your applications. There are probably hundreds of hosting providers and offer multiple types of hosting. However, in the following, I will focus on some of the best IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) platforms.

AWS

AWS needs no introduction. But still, if you are not aware, it was launched in 2006, and it operates in 20 geographical regions across the world. It offers a large number of products to meet every business requirement. You can virtually host any applications, including networks like firewall, DNS, Load balancing, or even you can have your virtual private cloud.

The great thing about AWS is you pay for what you use and offer a FREE tier for some of their popular services. So, if you are looking to try out AWS, take advantage of a FREE account to experience the platform.
