Everything and everyone are getting to the Cloud nowadays: enterprises, small and medium businesses, individuals. This shift requires hosting providers to expand their data centers by opening new hardware regions, to meet the users` demand. And in order to get more customers, cloud hosting providers need to offer unique and highly-qualified services, that will differentiate them from competitors on the market.
