While researching this article it became very apparent that there is a lot of confusion about the differences between VPS Hosting and a Cloud VPS. They are both Virtual Private Servers, right? Well, yes and no. There are very many shared synergies between the two, but the key difference is the scale of the infrastructure and the cost of the service.
Both technologies are indeed virtual private servers, but a VPS is provisioned on a single host with a static, allocated set of resources. A cloud VPS houses multiple hosts within an extended, scalable resource pool that can also leverage additional cloud services on demand.
