Cloud hosting vs dedicated hosting: advantages and disadvantages
- by bcmcfc
I'm currently looking for a hosting company that can provide a very solid service with a 100% SLA.
In the search both cloud hosting and managed dedicated hosting have come up. (I'd rather not manage the server myself as I'm still rather new to Linux.)
I'm not sure if phrasing this as a "which is best" would make sense, but what advantages does cloud hosting have over dedicated server hosting?
I need a reliable service above all else, and some elements of the application to be hosted will be relatively CPU intensive, although those spikes in CPU usage will be sporadic, so the hosting needs to be able to deal with that.
