Knowledgebase

Before going too in depth, we must specify that they both work very similarly as far a how your website is delivered over the internet and how to manage it. Yet, they are very different on how they are deployed.

VPS Hosting:
These are virtual machines emulating a Private Server. These servers are configured with various hardware specifications to meet most budget and resource requirements. Their level of customization and administration is similar to that of Dedicated Servers with a slight limitation due to these running under Virtualized Hardware Limitations. The popularity of VPS Servers is the fact that they are fully managed within our data center, as well as their cost effective configuration over Full Dedicated Servers intended for more demanding needs and purposes.

Cloud Hosting:
Similar to VPS, our Cloud Based servers provide great functionality with the added advantage of Sharing Resources among multiple servers and racks. While a VPS has everything just to itself, Cloud servers have been configured to share all the main software and system resources to provide better stability and higher web tolerance and availability. Another advantage is that you will not be limited to a specific or incremental fees for additional data.

Resource and Configuration Flexibility:

VPS Hosting allows the user to upgrade their Virtual Server's Memory, Processor Clock Speed, and disk storage capacity in set increments. Because these are linked to a specific plan, while the upgrade is immediate, their cost is slightly higher due to the resources being dedicated to your specific plan. The only way to upgrade CPU and RAM is by upgrading to a higher plan and still keep that level of privacy and ownership you enjoy of VPS.

Cloud Hosting by BZV on the other hand offers unlimited and non-metered bandwidth usage as well as infinitely scalable storage space at no additional cost. You may request additional Memory or CPU Cores for your plan for added performance at a very low price, making it more ideal for growing businesses in need of this flexibility.

Cost of Maintenance and Usage:

VPS Servers are billed on month by month but by prepaying longer terms you will be saving exponentially more. All the resources you purchased with your plan are guaranteed to be available. If your business is within the set limits of your plan, you are taking advantage of the best price for your needs.

Cloud Servers provided by BZV have some fixed resources for your plan which allow better budget planning. As soon as your needs increase, you'll be able to upgrade only the resources you need or all of your plan to the next level. This advantage on scalability allows businesses to start small and grow with their business at their own pace without exceeding their budget. Unlike many providers, we do not charge extra for exceeding a certain bandwidth or storage quota, turning this into a true cloud solution that you can trust.

Other Differences:
While there are various other differences between VPS and Cloud Hosting, you will still be getting the best service for your business identity on the web. If you have any particular question, contact us at any given time using our Live Chat Tool or through our Support Page.
