Nowadays, almost all the websites that are out there are using just regular web hosting. That seems pretty normal, but in days where cloud hosting companies like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud are getting very popular, the question that comes in mind is Should we even use regular web hosting anymore or we should turn to the cloud. Just think about it, they’re often much cheaper and have support technologies that regular web hostings don’t.
So, should we still use a regular web hosting, as, for all the things in life, it depends?

In my opinion, if you need to host a small website like a blog, or any website that mostly informational without much functionality, regular web hosting like BlueHost is better. Plus, BlueHost is one of few hosting companies that support all the new technologies, unlike others who still rely on older ones.
On the other hand, if you are planning on creating a website or rather to say a web app, that is going to have more complex functionalities than a sign-up form, you should probably use Cloud Platform like AWS (Amazon Web Services), Google Cloud, or any other that suits your needs. Think of websites like Spotify, Netflix, Facebook, etc., they are all using AWS because they scale automatically and can handle that heavy load.
So, in the nutshell, you should still use regular web hosting as long as you plan to host a blog or any website that is informational, but if plan on hosting a website that requires heavy load and has more functionalities like Netflix, Facebook, Spotify, etc., you should use cloud platforms.
