When choosing a hosting solution, the two terms you’ll often encounter are VPS (Virtual Private Server) and Cloud Hosting. While they may seem similar at a glance, the underlying infrastructure and use cases can be quite different.

In this post, we’ll break down the key differences, benefits, and ideal use cases — helping you choose the right option for your website, app, or project.

What Is a VPS?

A VPS is a virtualized server that runs on a physical machine along with other virtual servers. Each VPS has its own dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, storage) and operates independently, offering root access and full control.

At Hosteons, our VPS offerings come with:

• Full root access
• Dedicated IPv4 and optional /64 IPv6
• 10Gbps network ports
• Global locations including the US and Europe
• Support for custom OS templates

What Is Cloud Hosting?

Cloud Hosting utilizes a network of virtual servers backed by multiple physical machines. Your data and applications are distributed across this cloud infrastructure. It’s designed for redundancy, high uptime, and scalability.

Which One Should You Choose?

Choose VPS if you:

• Need predictable performance
• Want full control and customization
• Are hosting websites, dev environments, or VPNs
• Prefer a more affordable solution with root access

Choose Cloud Hosting if you:

• Need high availability and automatic failover
• Expect fluctuating or unpredictable traffic
• Want seamless scalability without downtime
