Cloud Servers

Cloud Servers are a type of VPS but is virtualised on a Cloud for High Availability. Virtual Private Servers are virtualized servers within a larger computing infrastructure, in an isolated server environment.

A Cloud Server allows you to run multiple websites, applications, and services. It allows you complete freedom to configure your own server specifications and run software applications for your own needs.

Cloud hosting offers an increased set of features making it more scalable and flexible. The Virtual Server is no longer only limited to the physical resources of the hypervisor server it sits in, it is able to share resources across a pool of computing power made available to your server. This is a recent technology that has, achieved a high level of acceptance in a short period of time.

However, you should make sure you require the increased capabilities of Cloud hosting, as it is considerably more expensive than Classic VPS hosting.

Comparing to shared hosting, VPS offers a number of advantages:

• Run business specific software applications that are not compatible with shared hosting plans;
• Access additional computing resource capacity due to fewer users sharing each server;
• Enjoy mission critical uptime and more independence as your business will not be disrupted even if another customer compromises his/her VPS;
• Moving up to VPS gives you more ownership of your server. If you require software that is not available in Shared Hosting, upgrading to VPS hosting will allow you to install any software that you desire.
