What is a difference between cloud server hosting and dedicated hosting?  Are they same thing?

Both offer a complete server environment. In fact, from the perspective of a server admin, dedicated servers and cloud servers are more-or-less equivalent. They are managed using the same tools, run the same software, and anyone familiar with managing one will be at home with the other.

 

Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting is a virtualized server hosting platform that allows an unlimited number of machines to effectively act as a single system. 

The unbeatable flexibility of cloud servers changes the way businesses think about hosting infrastructure. Cloud hosting provides an inexhaustible, on-demand supply of infrastructure. If a developer needs a test server to try out an idea, they log into their cloud control panel and in a few seconds, their server is ready. If demand for a business’s application spikes, deploying more servers is a snap.

 

Dedicated Hosting

A dedicated server is an enterprise-grade bare metal machine. Unlike cloud hosting, all the resources of a dedicated server are available to the client. Typical uses of a dedicated server include as database servers, for hosting many websites or a single high-traffic website or eCommerce store, to provide the backend for a mobile or web application, and to host virtual servers.


Other factors that differentiate the two technologies

Scalability

With a cloud server you can increase or decrease resources like computing cores, RAM, and storage, as per your requirement. With a cloud, you have unlimited resources at your disposal.

A dedicated server is its own collection of hardware. Hence scaling of resources is a bit difficult and time consuming task.

 

Accessibility

To ensure zero downtime, Cloud Servers works on multiple nodes where in the case of a failed node is taken over by a working node ensuring network uptime for your applications. 

This is not the case with Dedicated Servers. There is always a risk of downtime hardware failures. 

 

Control

With a cloud server, you have limited control as per the plans provided by your service provider. 

A dedicated server offers complete control over the server. You can add applications, programs and performance enhancing measures to your machine.
