Virtual hosts are divided into different logical storage units using special software and hardware technologies. These units do not have physical entities, but have independent domain names, IP addresses, and complete Internet functions. With the rapid development of cloud computing technology, there is a cloud virtual host on the basis of ordinary virtual host, compared with the traditional ordinary virtual host is more stable, safe, higher availability.

Cloud virtual host is divided into shared virtual host and exclusive virtual host.

Shared virtual host refers to multiple users using a server resources, that is, we say the resource sharing, including: CPU, memory, bandwidth, hard disk and IP, etc., can meet the requirements of the initial novice site construction.

Exclusive virtual host is relative to shared virtual host, has independent resources, but also including CPU, memory, bandwidth and hard disk, more space, more flow.

Cloud virtual host and cloud server difference

The price is lower than that of the traditional cloud server, but higher than that of the cloud virtual host.

The use of cloud virtual host is generally configured with a good environment, users can directly use, more convenient, cloud server environment configuration needs to build their own, requires a certain professional, and is an independent operating system, can enjoy bandwidth and IP resources.

Security if it is a shared cloud virtual host, security will be reduced, because a whole points out of all virtual hosts in the anti-attack cloud server so safe. The cloud server is an independent IP address, and the system automatically backs up images to prevent downtime, which is more secure.

Should newbie choose cloud hosting or cloud server?

As the comparison listed above, in fact, for a novice white, cloud virtual host is more appropriate. Like when I just started with the bird cloud cloud virtual host, because it is simple operation and management (FTP management upload), more suitable practice, and early site traffic is not big, with virtual host is completely enough. If the later traffic increases, you can consider configuring a higher exclusive cloud virtual host or cloud server.
