I guess it's cheap because they have the servers located there cheaply, and ofcourse silicon valley where all the chips are made for the servers is not that far away either
Its all of competion. If a company has no competion they can charge whatever they want so since there are so hosting compaines in usa so the prices are lowered for competion reasons....
Yes, I agree with you....there are cloud hosting available today.... back to main topics....I think the price is cheaper because their server is located at USA
Because every kid with a reseller account can be the next hosting company without any regulation like this one: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=993625 Your comment is actually not true. Hosting is not cheap in the US, not at least real quality hosting. There allot of scams or people giving everything away for 1$ buck, dont fall into this, there is a hidden trick somewhere.
What do you mean? Cloud computing is virtualization which exists for years. Its can just scale and contract in a dynamic way and you can pay only for what you use, its actually more expensive them buying a fixed package because you pay what you use.
I mena you Will contract with an american company but being hosted one day in russia the other day in china depending on the price of electricity with cloud computing
There are to many factors, and not just electricity in hosting. There is no point if networks aren't there to carry the traffic. Also some countries will have huge staff costs, others will have better hardware, others dont have the networks build. Others like you said will have cheap electricity. Some may have better hardware in place where others will have cheap crap. There are to many factors but you are right, you will be able to move where ever you want, you have a point there. I still thing that will take some years.
Exactly. You nailed it. And the fact that a lot of people forget to cancel their hosting plans. Even a small dollar figure per month when hundreds of thousands of people are paying you each month and not using your services!
