But perhaps the biggest benefit for companies is the ability to concentrate on the business at hand and let someone else handle worrisome IT concerns like security, maintenance, backup and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_74e725-7f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_74e725-7f\">The market is vast, with a myriad of providers offering an even larger number of services. From giants like Microsoft, Amazon and Google to smaller niche players like Complior. Selecting the right provider is critical to long-term success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_41ddcc-43 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_41ddcc-43\">So how do you select the right cloud and hosting provider? The answer is to know what you want and need. Here are 10 essential questions to consider as you screen potential providers to select the right one for your particular needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1446_fdbc8d-35 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/complior.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hosting-blog-images-02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-50963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/complior.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hosting-blog-images-02.png 744w, https:\/\/complior.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hosting-blog-images-02-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/complior.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hosting-blog-images-02-14x12.png 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-13afnzl is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_151eda-bc wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_151eda-bc\">What does the cloud hosting solution cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_01992d-64 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_01992d-64\">Pricing is usually based on the company and its specific needs. If you want a fixed shelf price you can expect that nothing is tailored to the needs of your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_b2a3bb-46 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_b2a3bb-46\">Further, one thing that is often forgotten is the total cost of services, as customers tend to focus a lot on the tangible services that are needed, such as infrastructure. The more intangible services such as operation and the daily cooperation with the supplier are often missed. So, make sure you spend some extra time calculating all costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-1y6dbp9 is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_e9516c-bd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_e9516c-bd\">How secure is the hosting solution?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_8d7537-ef wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_8d7537-ef\">Security should always be a priority as data is often business critical and the basis for many business activities. Providers that comply with security standards and frameworks such as ISO 27001 or PCI DSS if you work in the payment industry demonstrate that they follow best practices in terms of security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_5288c1-eb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_5288c1-eb\">Security measures to look for are firewalls, anti-virus protection, multi-factor user authentication, encryption and regular security audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_87034e-9e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_87034e-9e\">A big part of security is also about knowing who can access what, and if the person in question is trusted and has approved qualifications. Background checks, security training and traceability are things that ensure that you as a customer can feel safer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-jgzebm is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_5d90b2-ef wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_5d90b2-ef\">Where is the data center located and how safe is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_f285c2-c9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_f285c2-c9\">The location and security of the data centers and servers where your company\u2019s information will be stored are as important as online security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_c35880-d4 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_c35880-d4\">There should be processes and routines in place on how the cloud vendor protects the data center from natural disasters such as fires and storms. We also have this (not so) minor detail of how the facility itself is protected against burglary, and that unauthorized personnel are not able to access physical machines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-hndgdf is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_76c3c5-21 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_76c3c5-21\">What customer support services are offered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_b53241-6a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_b53241-6a\">Technical support should be available to you online or by phone 24\/7\/365. When you contact the service desk, the person answering enquiries should be a knowledgeable technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_da2267-33 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_da2267-33\">Many deliveries are entirely dependent on technicians and support. One thing that is often forgotten is that the day-to-day collaboration and contact can take different forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_bcd872-d1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_bcd872-d1\">Look for a supplier that can offer you more personal service or a contact person that can handle discussions, planning and project management over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-muve14 is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_a766c8-b1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_a766c8-b1\">What happens if your data is lost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_e17fcf-2a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_e17fcf-2a\">If you accidentally delete or lose data, can you get it back? What does it say in the contract about data loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_9fc4a9-87 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_9fc4a9-87\">It is important to ensure that there is traceability and monitoring in services and perhaps also a redundant environment that reduces the risk of data loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_f115a5-0f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_f115a5-0f\">A potential provider should have documented and formalized change management policies and procedures for changes in information systems, including a process for requesting, logging, testing and approving changes prior to implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_f88855-56 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_f88855-56\">The provider must also show that emergency changes are under a formal review process. Roles and responsibilities, escalation processes and who has the burden of proof must all be clearly documented in the service agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-1jcjfum is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_1eb855-8a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_1eb855-8a\">What if your business grows?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_46bd4f-be wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_46bd4f-be\">As your business grows, so will your cloud storage needs. That\u2019s why it\u2019s good to choose a scalable solution. Find out storage capacity and how much it costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-12euqqo is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_dff129-9f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_dff129-9f\">What is the hosting provider\u2019s downtime history?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_02b79d-c0 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_02b79d-c0\">Since downtime can be costly for your company, it is advisable to choose a supplier who experiences as little downtime as possible. However, downtime is difficult to avoid and all cloud providers experience it at some point. What becomes important is how the supplier manages downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_73479f-4d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_73479f-4d\">They should have routines and processes in place that include how they communicate with customers during interruptions. The supplier should also know how systems can be designed to reduce the risk of disruptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-1obvs2e is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_d50819-af wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_d50819-af\">How do you get started with the cloud?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_bd24c6-c4 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_bd24c6-c4\">Many service providers offer migration services and assistance in the assessment and planning phase, as well as skilled technical staff that can fill skills gaps in your migration team. Make sure you have a good understanding of the offered support and decide who will do what.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-1obvs2e is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_922515-05 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_922515-05\">What happens if you part ways?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_24e103-4d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_24e103-4d\">It\u2019s always good to have a clear strategy in place from the start. What would an eventual move to another provider look like? Consider how you will access your data, what state it will be in and how long the provider will keep it. Vendor lock-in, where it\u2019s difficult to switch providers, is not an ideal situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-1obvs2e is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b2c973f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_0646d3-40 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_0646d3-40\">Who does the cloud hosting provider work with?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1446_4675a8-60 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1446_4675a8-60\">Service providers often have multiple vendor relationships and subcontractors involved in delivering services. It is important to ensure that the provider can guarantee service delivery, even for parts not directly under their control. You should also understand limitations of liability, customer support and service disruption policies. This is especially important when considering laws and regulations like GDPR and the CLOUD Act. You should know where your data is stored, how it flows and who has access to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blockera-block blockera-block-170k4zi is-vertical is-layout-flex
