Most internet users cannot tell the difference between web hosting and cloud computing. These two terms are similar but their differences have not always been clear.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is the business of providing server space, web services and file maintenance for websites controlled by companies or individuals that do not have their own web servers.

Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users.

Web hosting is the business of providing server space, web services and file maintenance for websites controlled by companies or individuals that do not have their own web servers.
There are different types of web hosting:

1. Shared Hosting/virtual hosting/mass hosting Your content and applications are uploaded into a server which is then shared with other customers who also use the web host. The web host owns the equipment and the server and they have technicians who monitor and manage the servers.
2. Dedicated hostingDedicated hosting is specialised hosting. It is much more sophisticated and the most popular type of hosting. With dedicated hosting, you can rent an entire server for yourself and you can gain access to all the web host provider’s resources to host one or more websites. With dedicated hosting, either you or your web host provider owns the equipment.
3. Root server hosting/semi-managed hostingThis is a form of dedicated hosting. Root server hosting gives uninterrupted internet connectivity. It is flexible in that, you can choose hardware specifications and operations systems that are best suited to your needs.
4. Reseller hostingReseller hosting is the best type of hosting for entrepreneurs and businesses who wish to host on behalf of their own clients. You can have a contract with a web hosting provider and then sell their services under your own brand.

The best type of web hosting is dedicated hosting. A dedicated web administrator has more control over a dedicated server. This makes the server more secure compared to a shared server. In addition to this, dedicated hosting is more reliable because a server administrator is self-sufficient and can optimize page loads by tweaking variables such as page load speed and general server allocation.
The disadvantage of web hosting is that there is a need to monitor, install, upgrade and configure programs, add sites deal with potential hacks, and troubleshoot systems. Therefore, there is a need for the business to have an employee (maybe more than one employee) to have the necessary system administration skills in order to achieve successful implementation of a website that is hosted on a dedicated web server.
In recent years, several businesses have already been making use of cloud computing. One benefit of cloud computing is that when a company’s information is stored in “the cloud” they are able to reduce their over-all expenses.
However, large corporations are wary of cloud computing. There is a lack of trust between these corporations and storage providers. Even if some companies do trust their storage provider, they still have security concerns. Most big corporations are hesitant or unwilling to allow any of their sensitive data to be put in “the cloud.” There is always the possibility of hackers getting their hands on the data. In addition to that, users are not able to access the servers that have their stored data. Lastly, if the storage providers close up shop, it will be very hard to retrieve a company’s data.
So, which one is better for your business? Web hosting or cloud computing? It depends on what your priorities are.
If your priority is to minimize operational expenses, cloud computing is for you. However, if you want more security for your sensitive data, web hosting is the better option.
Whatever decision you will make, you have to be sure that all your needs will be met once you choose one over the other.

Cloud hosting offers a level of scalability that traditional hosting can't. Cloud hosting companies provide virtual space on an on-demand, as-needed basis.

Cloud vs. Web Hosting

Cloud vs. VPS Hosting

The virtual private server, called VPS, is a hosting solution that also uses virtualization technology just like Cloud hosting does. The VPS allows multiple servers to function as one physical server for a higher utilization of the available resources. It is also known as Dedicated virtualization or Private Cloud. Unfortunately the VPS servers are less efficient since they allocate a guaranteed amount of resources to each client that can never be rerouted to others. This means that one client could have multiple free resources, while another is overloaded.

Cloud vs. Grid Hosting

Grid hosting has emerged before Cloud hosting. It combines the resources of several physical machines into one computing Grid. On Grid based servers the Webmasters can easily increase the physical resources if necessary.

In Grid hosting computers are also coupled as in Cloud hosting. The difference is, that all machines process different parts of a larger task.

Cloud vs. Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated Servers are combined with managed hosting services. The web hosting provider leases out the full control to the client. But he still owns the machines and has to monitor the performance of the server ensuring the uninterrupted work flow of the server. This service also includes technical support, backup services, installation of security patches etc. and thus are more expensive than Cloud hosting.

Web hosting means hosting website. Its just a website. Traditionally, web hosting accounts also include e-mail boxes which are POP3/IMAP based. They would include some space for SQL database. This can be done on your local PC/Server or it can be done with a web hosting provider such as GoDaddy, Apps4Rent or Bluehost. This allows individuals/ organizations to post a website or web page on the Internet.

Cloud hosting is hosting providing via a cloud platform..Basically virtual servers that can host your website/application/servers/desktop/infrastructure or anything. This is more or less a metaphor.

Cloud computing and Web hosting can seem similar because these two types of services can have very similar kinds of setups and deliver a lot of the same results. However, there are some critical differences between cloud computing and Web hosting services that have to do with the technical definition of each.
