Questions & Answers

What is Cloud Hosting Search?
Cloud Hosting Search is a referral site for virtual cloud and dedicated cloud hosting services sorted by bandwidth and data centre location.
What is Cloud Hosting?
It is a hosting service provided by a clustered computing infrastructure in which computing tasks and data storage are divided among physically separate subsystems that work together on the same computer network.
The computing tasks and data storage could also be divided into different virtual environments of the same system.
What makes the system a cloud, and distinguishes the standard traditional web hosting service from a cloud-based one, is that the cloud hosting service provides some form of failover or high availability and is never delivered from a stand-alone physical server appliance.
Is VPS a cloud hosting?
No. "VPS" is short for Virtual Private Server. VPSs are not necessarily cloud-based by default. They are typically virtual computing environments that reside on a dedicated, standalone physical server that is not connected to other physical servers or part of a computing cluster.
What is Virtual Cloud Server?
Virtual Cloud Server (VCS) is a virtual server environment hosted in a cloud computing system that provides hosting infrastructure services to multiple tenants. The VCS is an isolated server instance at a virtual level. Its computing resources - processing power (CPU), memory (RAM) and data storage disks - can be scaled up and down. However, the user of the virtual cloud server does not have access to the physical infrastructure that powers its virtual environments and does not use physically isolated computing resources.
What is Dedicated Cloud Server?
A Dedicated Cloud Server (DCS) is a single physical server or cluster of dedicated physical servers (also known as bare metal servers) used by a single tenant. The dedicated cloud servers are virtualized using any computer virtualization technology (e.g. ProxMox VE, VMware ESXI, XenServer, Kubernets, etc.) and can be used separately or as redundant infrastructure to that hosted by AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.
The computing resources of the dedicated cloud servers - processing power (CPU), memory (RAM) and data storage disks - can be scaled up and down when a cluster of servers is in place. Users of dedicated cloud servers have access to the physical infrastructure that powers their application environments and use physically isolated computing resources.
