Cloud vs VPS: which one does your business need?
Both give you more power than shared hosting, but they scale, cost and behave differently. Here’s how to choose.
The short answer
Choose VPS when you want predictable, dedicated resources at a fixed monthly cost. Choose cloud when traffic is spiky or growing fast and you need to scale without downtime.
How VPS works
A VPS gives you a fixed slice of a physical server: guaranteed vCPU, RAM and storage. It’s ideal for steady workloads, custom software and teams who want root access.
How cloud hosting works
Cloud hosting spreads your site across a pool of servers. Resources can grow on demand, and a hardware failure doesn’t take you offline.
Our recommendation
Most growing businesses start on cloud hosting for resilience, and move specific workloads to VPS when they need custom control. Talk to us and we’ll size it for free.
