Cloud vs VPS What is the difference?
If you were to compare the plans offered by most hosts, the difference might only be slight but there is usually a huge price difference between the two. Why is this so.
There’s a fundamental difference.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud servers are similar to a VPS hosting environment. The key difference is that instead of having a single server that’s dedicated to your site (as is the case with VPS), the resources are spread out among a bunch of different physical machines.
With a cloud hosting platform, you benefit from the use of multiple servers, so you have more available resources at your disposal. You can increase the power of your server whenever you’d like to meet varying traffic needs. While cloud hosting offers more flexibility than VPS hosting, it doesn’t allow for quite as much customization.
Who Should Use Cloud Hosting?
Cloud hosting is a great choice for website owners who need the flexibility that cloud hosting provides, to enable increased performance to meet surges in traffic.

VPS Hosting
VPS servers are also known as Virtual Private Servers. This style of hosting is essentially one physical server, which is then divided into several smaller virtual servers. Each one of these virtual servers acts as its own dedicated server environment.
However, they can tend to be less reliable because if one physical server fails, then every VPS using that server fails as well. Their performance can also vary if one site happens to be hogging resources on the physical server.
Who Should Use VPS Hosting?
Virtual Private Server hosting is great for users looking for more control over their website, with the technical skills to set up a customized environment.
