Which server is more recommended compared to VPS and cloud hosting in the United States? In the current server market, many IDC service providers use VPS as a cloud host for sale. So, what is the difference between renting a US VPS and a US cloud host? Which one do you recommend renting?

American vps: vps refer to virtual private server. The physical servers are divided into multiple virtual private server. Each vps can have independent public network IP, independent operating systems, and independent network resources. In addition, the users of American vps can also obtain the functions and performance of the physical servers, and can operate on their own.

US cloud hosting: US cloud hosting divides server clusters into most virtual independent hosts through the application of virtual technology. Basic services with cloud computing, storage, and complete internet network resources. After renting a US cloud server, users can use a host with higher reliability, stability, and flexible configuration.

What are the differences in physical host resources between VPS and cloud hosts in the United States? The main differences are as follows:

1、 Infrastructure

The performance of American VPS is achieved through physical servers, and once the server encounters an error, American VPS will also directly encounter an error. In the United States, cloud hosts use resources divided by server clusters, and the cluster configuration resources are sufficient. Unless all physical machines in the cluster fail, the probability of failure is 0. From this perspective, the stability and security of cloud hosts in the United States are higher.

2、 Reliability

Due to differences in infrastructure, the functions implemented by VPS and cloud hosts are also different. If users need to upgrade/restart the server, etc. VPS requires a longer waiting time and cannot be accessed and used normally during the upgrade process. During the upgrade process of American cloud hosts, the service is uninterrupted and physical servers can be upgraded or restarted without any impact.

3、 About Storage

The storage of cloud hosts is also based on server clusters, utilizing network distributed storage to achieve complete backups for each website and lower data loss rates. The storage of VPS utilizes a local physical server with only one copy, so data loss and damage can directly affect website operation.

4、 Scalability

A cloud host is a virtual server divided by virtual technology, which is more flexible in upgrading configurations and can achieve bandwidth and other configuration upgrades in a short period of time. The configuration upgrade of VPS servers is limited by physical hosts, resulting in poorer scalability and longer upgrade cycles.

5、 Intranet and Mirroring

The cloud host can support the internal network, and the data transmission speed on the internal network is also fast, which is conducive to achieving load balancing, and can quickly mirror multiple systems; However, due to differences in architecture, it is difficult for VPS to support internal networks, while mirroring is not supported.

6、 Price cost

The initial investment cost of cloud hosting is high, but when the cloud platform stabilizes, the cost of cloud hosting will decrease. The server partitioning of VPS is limited, and the cost of physical servers is also relatively high, so the cost of VPS is relatively higher.

In summary, it can be seen that both cloud hosts and VPS have similar functions and high usage rates. The difference between the two is significant, mainly due to differences in architecture and other related factors. Therefore, there may also be some differences in cost, scalability, and functionality. US cloud hosts have obvious advantages over US VPS, but the actual type to choose depends on one's own actual needs!
