Scales with your traffic instead of falling over in it.
High-availability cloud with automatic failover.
Instances that grow with your traffic. Add CPU, memory or storage when you need it, and stop paying for it when you do not.
The expensive part of outgrowing a server is usually not the bigger server - it is the move. Cloud hosting removes that: resources are added to the instance you already have, so a plan change is a reboot rather than a migration, and there is no window where the site is on two machines at once.
Shared hosting is the cheapest and needs no administration. A VPS gives you guaranteed resources at a fixed monthly price and is the better value if your load is steady. Cloud is worth the premium when your load is not steady - a news site, a ticketing site, a shop with sale periods - because you size for the average and absorb the peaks instead of paying for the peak all year.
The platform, the storage layer, the network and the snapshots are ours. The operating system and what runs on it are yours, unless you add a managed plan, in which case patching, monitoring and backups become ours too.
A VPS is a fixed slice of one physical machine at a fixed price. A cloud instance sits on a pool of machines, so it can be resized on demand and restarted elsewhere if its host fails. Choose a VPS for steady load and a lower price, cloud for traffic that varies.
Yes, in both directions. Resources are added to the instance you already have, so there is no migration and no change of IP address - a resize is a reboot.
Per unit of resource, slightly. It is usually cheaper overall for variable workloads, because you size for your normal traffic instead of for your busiest day and add capacity only when you need it.
Snapshots are taken on a schedule and automatically before any resize, so there is always a point to return to. Retention depends on the plan.
Yes - full root on Linux or administrator on Windows. If you would rather not administer the server, add a managed plan and we take on the patching, monitoring and backups.
