WHAT ARE VPS HOSTING AND CLOUD HOSTING?

The Email Shop Breaks Down Your Basic Hosting Questions

As a savvy business owner in a modern world, you probably understand that sooner – rather than later – you’re going to need to make the plunge and invest in online hosting services.

Whether you’re just diving into the world of online hosting or you’re fairly familiar with it, it’s fair to say that the types of hosting can be relatively confusing. With tons of different terminology flying around, it can feel impossible to keep track of each type of hosting, the benefits of each, the drawbacks, and more.

That’s where we come in.

We’re here to not only break down the differences among standard hosting, cloud hosting, and VPS, but also advise you on how we at The Email Shop can help guide you toward the services that best fit your needs.

Join us as we explain these hosting types!

What Makes VPS and Cloud Hosting Different than Standard Hosting?

We’ll be blunt right off the back — the difference between VPS and Cloud Hosting when compared to standard shared hosting really comes down to your needs.

Why?

To answer that, we’ll break down exactly what each of these types of hosting can do for you.

Standard, dedicated hosting is a single server that dedicated to your own personal use. This is typically ideal for businesses that are receiving 100,000’s of visitors monthly and have the dedicated staff to manage their server.

VPS Hosting, also known as Virtual Private Servers, is a type of hosting where the resources of the server will be split between different websites or hosting accounts – in other words, think of it like a home desktop computer that has several different users. VPS hosting is perfect for sites that don’t require root access on a server but need more dedicated, extensive, and advanced customized host options than shared services can provide. More than that though, efficient VPS hosting plans – like ours – will come with 24/7 support services, a dedicated IP address, and even personal stop, start, and reboot controls.

Cloud Hosting is an ideal hosting plan that allows for scalable infrastructure in the form of a single or many virtual servers. It’s highly customizable, ideal for consistently changing needs, and perfect for scalable businesses. Instead of hosting on a single server, as is the case with dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting provides hosting on several virtual servers which pull computing resources from an underlying network of physical web servers.
