Difference between cloud hosting and VPS hosting

VPS hosting:

VPS is an old traditional virtualization technology where one physical server, divided into several smaller server containers that each act as their own virtual server environment.

Pros:

  • Typically less expensive than cloud servers.
  • If needed one VPS can be rebooted without affecting other VPSs.

Cons:

  • They do not offer high-availability. If a physical server fails, all VPSs on that server fail.
  • Security concerns. If one container compromised on your node then your VPS could be negatively affected.
  • Computing resources are shared between all server, RAM, bandwidth and CPU performance can be affected if a VPS is demanding a higher load.

Cloud Hosting

Cloud Hosting services that are provided to customers is a peace of multiple interconnected servers that comprise a cloud and as opposed to traditional hosting forms such as shared hosting, and dedicated hosting, data is rendered from various servers.

Pros

  • Custom Infrastructure – clients can include custom network architecture, firewalls, load balancing and IP deployment.
  • Availability and Scalability – if one physical server fails, cloud servers/instance can be moved to another physical server without an outage.
  • Completely secure since you virtually have your own server and completely separated with no risk to your data from amid.

Cons:

  • Typically, a little more expensive than VPS.

A Cloud server can be labeled as a VPS server but a VPS container is not a cloud server.

On the other hand, both cloud and VPS server are using virtualization technology such as KVM, VMWare and HyperV, and OpenStack.
