In today&#8217;s post we\u2019ll go a step further and compare the infrastructure your VPS is based on viz. VPS HDD, VPS SSD and VPS Cloud. In our last article, we covered the <a href=\"\/blog\/choosing-between-hdd-and-ssd-vps-hosting\/\">difference between VPS HDD and VPS SSD<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will be covering what VPS SSD and VPS Cloud are, VPS SSD vs VPS Cloud, and figure out which is the best for your website.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VPS SSD:<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-ssd-vps-hosting\/\">VPS SSD<\/a> is a Virtual Private Server powered by a Solid State Drive (SSD). In this type of hosting, the hosting provider uses a physical SSD disk on their physical server. The advantage of an SSD is that there is less power drainage while at the same time website speed and performance are higher. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VPS Cloud:<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In VPS Cloud, as the name suggests your server is set up over a cloud. In VPS Cloud your hosting service provider would combine the availability of VPS with the scalability offered by the cloud. The advantage of using the cloud with VPS is that your load is distributed fairly amongst the different servers which ensure you have better performance and website speed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros and Cons of VPS SSD vs VPS Cloud<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pros of VPS SSD<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Pros of VPS Cloud<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Powered by the efficient SSD drives<\/td>\n<td>Powered by the scalable cloud architecture<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SSD ensures low risk of mechanical failure as there are no moving parts<\/td>\n<td>There is no mechanical failure as everything is stored over the cloud and can be <br \/>accessed even if one server is down <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Here the boot time of the server is faster as compared to VPS Cloud<\/td>\n<td>Even though the boot time of the server is slightly slow, VPS Cloud is instantly scalable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comes with cPanel and is fully managed as the hosting provider<\/td>\n<td>Offers Unmanaged hosting thus, you can customize it as per your own needs. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Cons of VPS SSD<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Cons of VPS Cloud<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>VPS SSD is costlier compared <br \/>to VPS Cloud<\/td>\n<td>VPS Cloud though cheaper compromises on the booting speed and time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Even though read speed is fast <br \/>in VPS SSD, the write is slower <\/td>\n<td>The read and write speed is comparatively slower <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Even though the life of VPS SSD is longer compared to other VPS hosting plans it <br \/>doesn\u2019t give a warning signal if it is about to fail.

Moreover, they both have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages. If your website traffic increases at a faster speed then VPS Cloud is the go-to choice, however, if you are looking for more speed then VPS SSD is the go-to choice.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We at <a href=\"https:\/\/india.resellerclub.com\/\">ResellerClub<\/a>, offer VPS SSD with all our VPS Hosting plans and storage space from 20-120 GB.
