What is the difference between shared and cloud hosting?
Shared hosting is the most widely used and affordable type of hosting service. In shared hosting, many websites share the space of one physical server and its resources. Cloud hosting is much more powerful as you get a whole server all by yourself and you don’t share its resources with anyone. You have the freedom to create and manage hosting accounts on the server and make other server configurations.
Cloud hosting is a great option if your site needs a more powerful hosting solution compared to shared hosting. It is also very powerful and flexible. It provides you with autoscaling option which adds more resources to the server upon traffic spikes.
