VPS vs Cloud Hosting: What’s the Real Difference and Which One to Choose?

Leave a Comment on VPS vs Cloud Hosting: What’s the Real Difference and Which One to Choose?

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.

Key Differences

FeatureVPS HostingCloud Hosting
InfrastructureSingle physical server (virtualized)Cluster of servers
ScalabilityVertical scaling (resize VPS)Instant horizontal or vertical scaling
RedundancyLimited – depends on host nodeHigh – failover support built-in
PerformanceConsistent with dedicated resourcesCan vary slightly based on load balancing
PriceCost-effectiveGenerally more expensive
ControlFull control, root accessMay have limited access depending on provider

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

Behind the Scenes: How We Deploy Your VPS in Under 2 Minutes

Leave a Comment on Behind the Scenes: How We Deploy Your VPS in Under 2 Minutes

At Hosteons, speed and reliability are core to our hosting philosophy. One of the most common reactions from new customers is:

“I just placed the order… and my VPS is already online?”

Yes, most VPS orders are deployed within 2 minutes—ready to use with SSH or console access. So how do we do it?

Let’s take you behind the curtain.

⚙️ 1. Optimized Infrastructure with RAW Disk Format

All our KVM VPS nodes are preconfigured for high-speed provisioning using RAW disk format—not LVM or ZFS. This ensures:

  • Faster disk I/O during deployment
  • Minimal overhead from volume management
  • Compatibility across all major Linux distributions

This streamlined storage setup is a major contributor to ultra-fast provisioning.

⚡ 2. Instant Provisioning with Virtualizor

We use Virtualizor as our VPS control panel, tightly integrated with our billing platform. Here’s what happens the moment your payment clears:

  • VPS is deployed from a cached OS template
  • IPs (IPv4 and /64 IPv6) are instantly assigned
  • Hostname, root password, and optional SSH key are set
  • VPS is booted and available for SSH or web console access

All this happens automatically—no human intervention required in most cases.

🔁 3. Real-Time Billing & Order Processing

Through our client portal, powered by WHMCS:

  • You select your plan
  • Submit payment
  • VPS is provisioned automatically within ~2 minutes

We support a wide range of global payment options, so no matter where you are, you can deploy instantly.

⚠️ Important Exceptions

While most orders are provisioned instantly, there are a few scenarios where manual review may be required:

🪟 1. Windows VPS Orders

These are usually provisioned instantly too, unless the password you provide contains special characters not accepted by Windows setup.

✅ To ensure fast deployment, use a password with:

  • Uppercase & lowercase letters
  • Numbers
  • No special symbols like @, #, !, etc.You can change the password after initial setup via the control panel.

🕵️‍♂️ 2. Payment Fraud Screening

  • Orders paid via PayPal or Credit/Debit Cards are automatically screened for fraud.
  • If the fraud score is high, we manually review before provisioning.
  • Orders via crypto, Alipay, QRIS, Dragonpay, etc. are usually processed instantly without delay.

🌍 Global Locations

🇺🇸 USA: Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Portland, Miami, Salt Lake City
