The term "cloud" refers to a network of servers that host, store, and process data remotely, accessed via the internet. Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computing resources—such as servers, storage, databases, and applications—without the need for direct management or ownership by the user. This technology enables businesses to scale efficiently, optimise costs, and innovate faster by leveraging the flexibility and reliability of a global infrastructure. From hosting websites to deploying complex applications, cloud computing has revolutionised the way organisations operate in today's digital landscape.
Umbraco Cloud, built on the solid foundation of Microsoft Azure, is a managed hosting service for Umbraco’s content management system (CMS) that serves as an all-in-one solution for the installation, infrastructure, and security of high-performance websites.
Described by Umbraco themselves as the “fastest, easiest, and best way to work with the most advanced open-source .NET CMS,” Umbraco cloud could be just what your business is looking for to take those next steps into the future of CMS development.
Umbraco offers several packages to suit project requirements of all sizes. From sites with low complexity and modest traffic to large scale business sites with high volume and support needs.
