I thought I would share with you an explanation of physical vs dedicated hosting (one you could tell your non IT friends and have them understand what you're talking about).


Imagine you had two friends.

One – let’s call him Joe - lives in a small student house. Although Joe has his own room, he shares his kitchen and bathroom with other people on same floor. Joe’s neighbours are constantly having parties (especially on weeknights) and he hears everything through the thin walls. He is involved in all their problems and his neighbours often have questionable guests making Joe feel his security is at risk.

Your other friend – Anna – lives in a luxurious house in a safe quiet neighbourhood. The only common area she comes close to sharing with her neighbours is the entrance to her street. She isn’t bothered by her neighbours, even when they have parties, because she can’t hear them through her thick secure walls. She is isolated from all their problems and feels safe in her home.

Shared and dedicated servers are the same. On a shared server, the operating system and resources are shared, slowing down the server performance or worse requiring it to be shut down while the problem gets fixed.

This is where dedicated VPS comes in that allows you to do whatever you want with your space. Your neighbours problems are not your concern. It gives you the features and functionality of a physical dedicated without the cost of building and maintaining one. You have complete control of your virtual environment for a fraction of the cost.




Hope this helped and entertained you somewhat..

Cloud hosting has many advantages over normal VPS hosting services due the architecture it uses for a single cluster, and if your business rely greatly on your website, Cloud hosting is a better option for you. The enhanced architecture powering Cloud hosting solution employs groups of high-powered servers, network attached storage devices to efficiently and reliably serve every webpage hosted on this. Inside each storage device, drives are replicated to each other in a RAID configuration to create a first layer of redundancy. While with Virtual Private server, you do not get guaranteed resources that you pay for, which means other user of the VPS node could squeeze in on your allotted resources but this is not case with Cloud server except when oversold, you get the guaranteed amount of resources you are paying for and it's always available when you need them. In addition to all these features, you also get the ability to customize the resources of Cloud server anytime. This means that upgrading or downgrading as needed are seamlessly provided. On reliability count VPS is not preferred when compared to Cloud server because VPS is based on software virtualization platform while could uses clustering of large numbers of physical servers. Cloud Servers are setup on a Cluster which includes a number of servers, whereas, a number of VPS's are setup on the same Dedicated Server which is also called as a VPS node.

But, VPS's have their own benefits in comparison to a Cloud Server and biggest being the difference between the price. Though, the difference is not too much but there is still a difference. Another point being you can surely run Ruby on Rails on a Cloud Server, as well as you can install ffmpeg (FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter ) and other media processing tools.
To conclude, the differences between the two types of the virtual servers depend more one the provider than on the technologies used. Like if the vps are said to be over-sold, same can be true for cloud servers as well, similarly the availability of un-allocated resources would greatly effect the performance of the servers in both cloud and vps environment. So I think at the end of the day, practically you should take your decision about the provider first, technology later. ]]> Dedicated Server Forum palcom http://www.hotwebhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?21985-Cloud-server-and-vps http://www.hotwebhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?21979-The-best-place-to-order-customized-servers&goto=newpost Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:24:57 GMT Hi, I am seeking for the best and reliable host which allows to customize a server for personal needs.
