When it comes to choosing a durable, versatile and aesthetically pleasing siding for your home, cement siding might be the right choice for you. Cement siding is gaining in popularity for a variety of reasons. Cement siding is 90 percent lightweight Portland cement mixed with wood pulp and sand. What you get is a lightweight, durable siding that holds paint very well. Once you paint the siding, you won’t have to paint it again for five to ten years. It also offers a wood grain finish.
Compared to vinyl, cement siding offers consumers better control to change their home’s look over time. That’s because if you buy vinyl exterior, you’re limited to the color of the vinyl. However, if you decide you want to change the colors of your home’s exterior, you can always paint the cement siding.
And it’s also durable compared to vinyl. It holds up much better to lawnmowers, weed eaters or kids bouncing a baseball or golf ball off the cement siding and it won’t dent.
And installation is easy as well. Cement siding is nailed in place just like vinyl or wood exteriors.
The reason it can be nailed in place without splitting or cracking is the wood pulp that goes into its making. The wood pulp bonds with the cement and gives it strength and flexibility much like re-bar does for concrete. And unlike some exteriors cement siding is flame resistant.

Segment #5416 from "Michael Holigan's Your New House" Home Improvement TV Show
Installed Hardie board lap siding on my shop 16 yrs ago. Used a dark solid color stain. Lasted 16 years. No peeling whatsoever, the dark green just started to fade. So two quick coats of solid color stain and looks great again. No scraping, sanding or dealing peeling paint, just did a quick pressure wash. Goes on faster than paint. If you pick a dark color like I did, expect to put on 3 coats initially to get your color depth. Would do it again in a heartbeat due to simplicity of maintenance, selection of colors and wood look I wanted.
He has a pair hands fit for waving and clapping the blade should be set for depth of board and no ear muffs are eye protection

It's not so resistant to hail or golf balls, compared to composite (e.g., LP Smartside). It will crack and shatter with the rare, high-velocity impact.
