cloud hosting

Off-site computing infrastructure

Cloud hosting is a model where websites, applications, or data reside on remote servers accessed via the internet rather than on local hardware.

Resources are typically distributed across multiple connected servers, allowing flexibility and scalability: We moved our database to cloud hosting to handle traffic spikes.

The "cloud" metaphor suggests services floating somewhere out there, abstractly available on demand.
