The cloud model of hosting is ideal for small businesses and some mid-size companies. That’s because there is no need to invest in expensive servers and other infrastructure. With the cloud, you essentially “rent” server space from a hosting company. Not only does that save you money in hard costs, but it also means no soft-ware licensing fees. And you don’t need to have dedicated IT personnel handling your communications net-work. Your provider will handle all server maintenance for you.

The on-premises solution is per-fect for mid-size companies and enterprises that have the resources to invest in servers and other equipment as well as dedicated IT personnel to manage it all. Prem-ise-based solutions cost more ini-tially, but are best for businesses with highly sensitive information or with management executives that wish to retain control over all its data.

This is the best of both worlds. With a hybrid model of hosting, you can house some servers inter-nally and use the cloud for others. This option works for companies of every size and can be tailored to your needs. It’s also a good option if you want to test the cloud waters without fully migrating over. When shopping for a provid-er, be sure to select one that allows you to move freely among the three options rather than having to commit to one long term.
