Web Hosting

It just depends on your specifics needs, the one VPS is a virtual server, the other one is a cloud service. Just focus on the solution features if it is suitable for your site or satisfy your requirement.
 
Google Cloud provides enterprise-class support for Windows workloads running on GCP.
you can use it easily.
 
VPS is generally more directly defined, whereas cloud can be defined differently depending upon who's using the term.
 
In my opinion, right now there is a good choice in a variety of hosting for different purposes. For gaming, working, and studying. Unfortunately, I am not able to advise you of free hosting, because usually, I use paid ones from time to time. Like the [MOD NOTE: URL snipped] with their cloud server. Even better than google as some people mentioned above.

Again, it depends on your purposes.

Cloud is the best, not that we are biased or anything. ;)

Think of a cloud VM as a VPS on steroids, self healing, indestructible, in theory unless the entire data center goes down your cloud based VM will still be up and running, a CPU core crashes... your are good, an entire CPU, yup... a hard drive... still good to go. Even several machines that make up the cloud can go down and your virtual machine will still be running.

Add a second cloud VM and mirror your content and you have a 100% uptime high availability environment.
 
I think there is a lot of misunderstanding of VPS and Cloud.

All our equipment is cloud based, whether you take shared hosting, reseller hosting or an VPS.

When you get a cloud VPS, the storage is on an array with multiple copies and the CPU and memory exists on a node, which mounts the disk-space from the array.
Should the node fail, another node will mount the array and serve the content so the downtime will typically be less than 2 minutes while the detection and mitigation of the crash happens.

True, we can provide "almost" unlimited storage, but you have to ay for that and let us know before you need it. (Maybe not unlimited, but very extensive).

But why even have a VPS. If you have a VPS, then you need a control panel license, an r1Soft license and all of the plugin licenses.

Our large shared and reseller platforms use cloud linux and control the amount of resource you get just like a vps. Every user gets their own virtual filesystem, so no cross link hacking. Their own IP, so no blacklisting due to bad neighbours. Each account has CPU, Memory, I/O, IOPs and bandwidth limits, so you know that other accounts on the server will not take you down. You get the VPS experience without the cost, and it's all managed for you.
 
VPS Hosting is generally less efficient since it allocates a specified amount of computing resources to each client. Hence, if the requirement increases, the system would not be able to handle the additional inflow. It will simply crash. The same would be the case if the server malfunctions.

Cloud Hosting, on the other hand, tackles the increase differently. Under the cloud environment, the website is hosted on a pool of unified computing resources. This simply means that if one server is reaching its optimum level, then a second server is ready to function. Similarly, if a server fails, the website will still be running as other servers will continue to serve the incoming traffic.

So Cloud Hosting Is the Best Option
 
Both are more effective, but nowadays the majority of men choose a cloud server because it has the highest uptime and 20 x faster speed.
 
Which Hosting Services are Best? VPS or Cloud?
If you want to get things up and running as quickly as possible and don't care about scaling, a virtual private server (VPS) can be an excellent place to begin. If, on the other hand, you require a hosting configuration that is very adaptable in addition to having a high level of site speed and storage space, then you should investigate cloud hosting environments.

Cloud hosting is more expensive than virtual private server (VPS) hosting due to cloud hosting's infinite resources and high scalability. Despite this, it offers an outstanding return on your investment and is, on average, far more cost-effective than a dedicated server. As a result of the scalability choices, the monthly prices associated with cloud hosting are less predictable than those associated with VPS hosting.
 
There are three types of Web Hosting Solutions that are very famous.
Shared Hosting- it is the cheapest Web hosting solution. Shared Hosting is a web hosting solution where multiple business owner host websites and share resources with each other. no one has control over the server resources.

VPS Hosting- it works the same Shared hosting but offers dedicated Server resources to the users. the virtual physical server is separated into various users and every user gets devoted server resources. it offers better performance and security than shared hosting.

Dedicated Server- it is the most expensive and best web hosting solution you can get. it offers ultimate performance and security. and it can handle millions of traffic.
 
VPS is good if you are experienced with root access, knowledge of security and management are required. Cloud on the other hand is simiar to shared hosting and managed accordingly for you.
 
Based on my experience, I can say that depending on the type of project and its needs, it is better to opt for one type of web hosting or another.

It is true that VPS hosting offers better performance than shared hosting, but if what you are looking for is something good and cheap, shared hosting with a good provider will suffice, always depending on the type of project.

On the other hand, and as has already been mentioned by other members of the forum, there is Cloud Hosting or cloud hosting, among its advantages it is that it is more difficult to saturate the hosting, it is possible to expand the available resources and it offers a greater activity time Undoubtedly, this type of hosting is ideal for websites with high volumes of traffic or pages that need to guarantee an uptime close to 100%.
 
In terms of efficiency, VPS is less efficient than cloud hosting. VPS is a type of Private Cloud in which you are assigned a slot on the same server as several other users. Dedicated servers are assigned to each slot.
Websites housed on the cloud, on the other hand, are accessible from anywhere, at any time.
Cloud hosting is a better option because it is more dependable and adaptable. In the event of a surge in demand, VPS may encounter problems due to the dedicated allocation and may be unable to handle the traffic. However, additional flow is managed maturely in the case of cloud hosting because you always have an option ready with the new server.

what do you think cloud hosting is. It is still hosted on a server, which is clustered, so if main server fails the site etc. will still be active.

The capacity of cloud hosting to provide redundancy and fault tolerance is one of its important characteristics. If one physical server fails in a clustered environment, the workload can be immediately transferred to other available servers within the cluster, reducing downtime and ensuring that your website or application stays operational. Usually, load balancing and automatic failover procedures are used to accomplish this.
