Choosing a cloud provider for your business or organization is a big step. Upgrading to cloud computing can give your company a serious edge in the face of fierce competition. Companies who want to work more efficiently and deliver better customer experience have been looking towards cloud technology for solutions. There's a wide range of bespoke options to suit a variety of needs. The first big question starts with finding a provider that works for you.
Many industries, from agriculture to gaming have been taking the leap into the cloud and are currently experiencing vast benefits. For instance, increased security, reduced cost and easier access for those who need it most. These are are some of the most significant gains of switching to a cloud solution.
When it comes to choosing a provider for your cloud solution you want to make sure you're making the right decision. Therefore, we've compiled three key questions that you need to ask before choosing a provider that's right for you.
Does This Provider Offer The Services You Need?
Sometimes a menu of services can feel like an extensive menu at a restaurant. When you're looking at a list comprised of Kubernetes, serverless computing, databases, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual machines and more, it's easy to become overwhelmed.
Our best advice would be to stay focused on what services you need. It's easy to become distracted by a wide range of choices, but at the end of the day, these services have to be the right fit for your business or organization. Ask your potential provider for details about their services and map them into your short and long term plans.

What Level Of Support Are You Looking For?
Secondly, in order to determine the amount of support that your business may need you'll need to review your budget and other resources. Everything from how much time you have to dedicate to your cloud to technical experience can be determining factors in levels of support.
At VEXXHOST we offer three different levels of support to accommodate you. Ranging from One-Time Deployment, Support and Fully-Managed. We welcome all businesses of varying scales.

Will My Data Be Secure?
When it comes to your data you want to make sure that it's secure. Finding a cloud provider that you trust is a fundamental aspect of choosing the right fit for you. As you know, when it comes to storing and accessing large amounts of data securely through your business, cloud services are some of the most secure options for your data. Ask questions about your cloud provider's data centers. Find out about their security measures and what they are doing to ensure that your data is safe.
We have data centers in Montreal, Quebec and in Santa Clara, California. Network security is one of our biggest priorities at VEXXHOST. This is why we have an SSAE-16 facility, which undergoes yearly SOC Type 2 audits. We also have security staff on-site 24/7/365 with HD cameras throughout the facilities. Furthermore, our data centers have dual-factor authentification through either biometric or physical access controls. We believe in empowering our cloud services with the highest security precautions so you can rest easy knowing your data is safe at all times.
