Explanation
Web hosting is a PaaS offering because it provides a managed platform runtime environment where customers deploy and run their websites without managing underlying infrastructure.
Common mistakes.
- A. IaaS delivers raw compute, storage, and networking resources where the customer is responsible for installing and managing the OS and application runtime, requiring far more setup than a web hosting scenario.
- B. SaaS delivers a fully managed, ready-to-use software application to end users, whereas web hosting requires the customer to supply and manage their own website application.
- D. On-demand software is another term for SaaS and refers to fully managed application delivery, not a platform for customer-deployed websites.
- E. This is incorrect because web hosting is a well-established example of PaaS according to cloud service model definitions.
