Your site runs across a clustered platform instead of one machine, so a single hardware failure never takes it offline, and resources expand automatically under load.
| VPS Hosting | Cloud Hosting | |
|---|---|---|
| Underlying hardware | One physical host | Clustered across multiple hosts |
| Scaling | Manual resize, brief reboot | Automatic, no reboot |
| Billing | Fixed monthly | Hourly, usage-based |
| Failover | Single point of failure | Live-migrates on hardware fault |
Stores expecting seasonal traffic spikes, launches with unpredictable demand, and applications where downtime from a single server fault isn't acceptable.
