Cloud hosting is becoming more and more popular. However, many people are not 
aware of the differences between cloud hosting and actual web hosting. Both of 
them have their own benefits and drawbacks and mostly they are same with respect 
to issues regarding hosting with few differences that are stated under. Therefore, if 
you are concerned about the variations of both types of hosting, you can read this 
article. It will help you a lot.
Data limitations
Data limitation will be both for the cloud and normal web hosting. But the 
difference is when it comes to web hosting, you need to determine how much data 
and resources you need and based on that you choose a hosting plan according to 
your requirements, whereas in cloud hosting, you will have no data limitation and 
you can adjust the limit of data according to your needs from time to time. 
However, be aware that you need to pay for what you use later.
•Availability
•As you will choose the hosting plan as per your requirements, you will have 
limited availability of data and it’s only you that can use these limited resources, 
whereas resources like bandwidth, storage in the cloud are not pre-planned and are 
available at any time.
•Security
•Security in the web hosting completely depends on the type of hosting you choose. 
Though it depends on the hosting you choose, most of the hosting types provide 
security for their clients’ websites. However, when it comes to cloud hosting as the 
data will be available in a virtual environment, there might be security attacks on 
your data. Therefore, from security point of view, it depends on time and hosting 
you have chosen.
Performance
•The performance of your website in wed hosting depends on the hosting company 
and they are responsible for that. On the other hand, the performance in cloud may 
vary because the backup systems and servers may fail sometime even they are able 
to store and retrieve the lost data.
Cost
•The cost of the web hosting completely depends on the type of the hosting plan 
you choose, and cost of the hosting in cloud depends on the space and the resources 
that you use for your website.
Reliability
•Web hosting companies are more reliable and can help you all the time when you 
have trouble with the hosting service and even the same case with the cloud, but it 
saves your data and maintenance is done automatically.
These are few or minor differences between the cloud and normal web hosting.
