Cloud VPS VS Ordinary VPS!

[~ServerPoint~]

I have a question to all webmasters here in this forum..
What are the main differences you consider between Cloud VPS and Ordinary VPS?

Could you share your ideas?

Well, I suppose that it mainly depends on the hosting provider you are going to deal with..
I know cloud VPS will give you 100% network uptime and your sites will be always up.

Cloud VPS is nothing, but a cluster of servers that to the end user just looks like 1 server or 1 website. This is useful because it makes it easier for people to scale their account up or down as they need to.

In addition, many backup services use cloud setups, because it's simpler for the customer to just log in and see all their backup information in 1 folder, even though physically the data might be spread over 2,3 or 4 servers, maybe more. With Cloud VPS; web host can manage servers through centralized management system called as a VICenter. It helps to increase host servers and storage as per the future requirements and growth.

With normal VPS you cannot experience all these kind of flexibility. That's it.

I assume that the price range difference between normal VPS and cloud VPS solutions is very big.
Cloud VPS costs much more than normal one.

May be, but in terms of features and performance it's a good option. And those who are willing to work with new technology should opt Cloud VPS. Even few web hosts offers cloud reseller hosting plans. So when we talk about VPS, then I can only say there are lot of options and opportunities to explore your kind of customize services. Hence, its totally depends on you what exactly you want to do with VPS.
