Offload Hosting Headache by Hosting your applications on Containers
If you have been using VM’s for running your business applications, you might already know that you need to use the same OS when running applications through a VM. This requires more data center space and hardware to pace up with heavier computing workloads. This is where containers are beneficial as they provide a way to virtualise an OS so that several workloads can be run on a single operating system instance .
Containers are present on top of a physical server and its host operating system for instance Windows or Linux. They share the kernel of the host operating system to access the hardware, so there is no additional infrastructure cost incurred with container-based hosting. Container hosting is a very cost-effective solution today for any business as it helps decrease the operating cost (less IT staff, less servers) and also reduces the development cost as development is needed only for one consistent runtime environment.
Containerisation helps create an abstraction at the operating system level so that individual, modular, and distinct functionalities of the web/mobile apps can run independently. With container-based hosting, businesses can run multiple isolated workloads using the same physical resources. Containers provide a lightweight virtual environment by isolating a set of processes and resources such as disk, memory, CPU, and more.
The primary use of container-based hosting is to host web servers. Container hosting works remotely pretty much similar to how cloud hosts do. With our container-based hosting plans, multiple users can host websites in isolation to each other. Container based hosting environment looks pretty much similar to a complete working operating environment with its own network address, users, file system, memory space, and applications.
