What is the difference between cloud hosting and VPS?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:57 pm

Cloud hosting is a model in which the provider of the service maintains control over the hardware and software infrastructure that hosts your website or application. This means that you don’t have to worry about the infrastructure and don’t need to install or manage software yourself.

Cloud hosting services offer low-cost, scalable, and reliable hosting solutions.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that there is a significant difference between cloud hosting and VPS. With cloud hosting, your website is hosted on a cluster of servers that are all connected to the internet. This means that if one server goes down, your website will still be accessible from the other servers in the cluster. With VPS, your website is hosted on a single server, so if that server goes down, your website will be inaccessible.

VPS stands for virtual private server. With a VPS, you have more control and flexibility over your hosting environment.

You can choose the operating system and software that you want to use, and you can install and manage those programs yourself. VPS hosting also offers a high level of security and redundancy.
