VPS or Cloud Server? Which should your business choose?
Compare VPS and Cloud Server on performance, scalability and cost to pick the right infrastructure for your business.
What is a VPS?
A VPS (virtual private server) is a dedicated share of a physical server's resources. Its configuration is usually fixed during the billing cycle, suitable for websites and applications with steady load.
What is a Cloud Server?
A Cloud Server runs on a cloud infrastructure cluster, with flexibly scalable resources and better fault tolerance when a node fails.
Which one should you choose?
- Choose a VPS when needs are stable, the budget is limited and your team has administration experience.
- Choose a Cloud Server when traffic fluctuates, you need to scale quickly or require high availability.
- Always include automatic backups and monitoring, whichever you choose.
