Is there a difference between cloud hosting and VPS?

Comparison of cloud hosting and VPS.

Cloud hosting is a new generation of host leasing service, which integrates high-performance servers and high-quality network bandwidth, and effectively solves the defects of high traditional host rental, traditional physical leasing and VPS services, which are difficult to manage and weak business scalability. It can fully meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and individual webmaster users for low-cost, high-reliability and easy-to-manage hosting rental services.

The main advantages of cloud hosting compared to VPS.

1. Users can easily carry out remote maintenance and reinstall the system for free, and realize complete isolation between cloud hosts at the hardware level;

2. Built-in redundant shared storage and intelligent backup, physical server failure can be automatically recovered within a few minutes;

3. The service environment is deployed with high-end servers, and centralized management and monitoring are adopted to ensure that the business is stable and reliable;

4. Stronger host performance, the overall performance is much higher than VPS, and even stronger than some low-end independent hosts;

Of course, there is a difference, now is the era of cloud hosts, and VPS is outdated.

The Zhenyun host I am using now, the real elastic cloud computing, rare in China, simple and easy to use, cost-saving, safe and fast, the north-south interconnection BGP computer room, to ensure that all parts of the country can be directly accessed, gigabit backbone, 10M exclusive, with a genuine operating system.

Cloud host is a multi-computer connection, one computer has a problem, other computers can also support the first server operation. VPS is a virtual area in a server.

Some!!! The difference between ViaCloud cloud hosting and traditional VPS.

1.Each virtual machine of viacloud is physically isolated and independent, and will not be affected by other virtual machines on the same physical machine; However, if a traditional VPS user has a virtual machine that crashes or occupies too many physical machine resources, all other virtual machines on the same physical machine will be affected.

2.viacloud virtual machine adopts the latest virtualization technology, so that resources can be flexibly allocated, and users can dynamically adjust the configuration of virtual machine at any time through the platform, and increase or decrease the system memory or CPU core number of virtual machine (Linux system) without shutting down; However, the traditional VPS must be operated by the administrator in the background, and the virtual machine must be shut down and adjusted.

3.The viacloud platform is fully self-service, and can be activated immediately after payment, and the billing mode is flexible, and you can pay by the hour or month. If you don't need it after use, you can delete it directly.

Traditional VPS is slow to activate, has high short-term use costs, and poor user autonomy.

4.ViaCloud cloud hosting has good scalability, IP address, disk space, memory, CPU can be increased at any time as needed, and users can operate by themselves. Traditional VPS has poor scalability and requires administrator background operations.

Shanghai VNET is good

The cloud host is also a server, which is much better than the configuration of VPS, the cloud host is a cluster, and VPS is a server with n VPS

1. ** and deployment time.

VPS is instantaneous and requires no OS installation.

The cloud host is also instantaneous, can be completed in a few minutes, can be deployed with one click, or can be installed independently.

2. Safety and reliability.

Poor VPS security: Program defects, ARP spoofing, viruses, and resource crowding installed on other VPs on the same physical server will seriously affect the company. There is basically no ARP, Trojan horse, or DDoS protection capability.

High VM security: Built-in ARP protection to improve DDoS attack prevention capabilities on a large scale; Share the performance and reliability of branded enterprise-class servers and hardware virtualization, built-in HA; Provides a variety of rapid recovery measures, such as standby machines, snapshots, and data backups.

3. Performance and guarantee.

Poor VPS performance and guarantee: The performance is average, and it is only suitable for small-scale concurrent access. Performance is not guaranteed, and it is susceptible to other VPS on the same physical server.

The performance and guarantee of the cloud host are good and guaranteed; Same as a physical server.

4. Elasticity and scalability.

VPS capacity expansion is fast, which is limited by the configuration of a single server.

The cloud host is instantaneous** and expands on demand, without paying for the original leased resources.

5. Cost of ownership.

VPS with low VPS configuration is the lowest**, but low security reliability and unguaranteed performance lead to unguaranteed service quality and uncontrollable operating costs.

The lowest comprehensive cost of cloud hosts: no deposit for monthly payment, pay-as-you-go use, basic zero maintenance, and the cost advantages brought by scale, green energy saving, and best IT practices can also be shared.

6. Easy to use and easy to manage.

VPS provides a single stand-alone management interface, no root or super administrator operating system permissions, and management flexibility is subject to the management interface.

The cloud virtual machine has built-in KVM, and customers can centrally and uniformly manage the cloud virtual machines distributed in various places through the self-service system; Full access to the root or super administrator operating system. I hope the above answers can help you, and the specific handling can be found in Alibaba Cloud.

Cloud host is a virtualization technology similar to VPS host, VPS is the use of virtual software, VZ or VM on a host to virtualize a number of parts similar to independent hosts, can achieve a single machine and multiple users, each part can be a separate operating system, the management method is the same as the host. The cloud host is a part of a group of cluster hosts that virtualize a plurality of independent hosts, and each host in the cluster has an image of the virtual host, which greatly improves the security and stability of the virtual host, unless all the hosts in the cluster have problems, the cloud host will be inaccessible.

Simple example: VPS is the virtual presence of multiple virtual hosts on one physical host, and all of them will be scrapped if the host breaks.

Virtual machines create multiple virtual hosts on multiple physical hosts, and the failure of any one physical one will not affect the operation of the virtual machine.

Cloud host is a kind of virtualization technology similar to VPS host, VPS is the use of virtual software, VZ or VM on a host to virtualize a number of parts similar to independent hosts, each part can be a separate operating system, the management method is the same as the host.

VPS is virtualized on one server, the same as cloud hosting, but it only has one, if 100 VPS are virtualized on a server and all resources are shared, then the stability and data security are low. However, for learning, the initial deployment is possible, after all, the cost is low. Elastic Compute Service (ECS) is a simple, efficient, and scalable computing service that helps you quickly build more stable and secure applications, improve O&M efficiency, reduce IT costs, and enable you to focus more on core business innovation.
