Question about Cloud Hosting and Wordpress
 

So far as i understand i can host a wordpress Blog without any Problems at a Cloud Hosting Provider like https://diploy.net/pricing, with them i can get hosting with 512 MB Ram and 1 TB Bandwith for 14$/Month. My Current Host charge me 35 $ for 512 MB Ram and 100 GB of Bandwith. I really do not understand what is the difference between them. If i just host wordpress Blogs and some static Gallery can i go with a Cloud Host instaed of paying VPS ?

They are the same thing as far as I'm concerned.

but with 15$ up to 30$ and one TB Bandwith instead of 100 GB ?

Or you can just pay $5/month for 768MB RAM/1TB bandwitdth with Vultr
100% uptime with good quality network speed and you get $5 free credit to try them out :2 cents:

VPS and cloud are the same thing - The biggest difference is that;

A) A cloud usually costs more
B) Cloud files are usually backed-up multiple times
C) A cloud can be upgraded in minutes - adding more ram, cpu or storage.

:2 cents: VULTR is fantastic, uptime and performance has been rock solid

Hey Zac,

I used to work a Tier-2 help desk at a major web hosting company. What I noticed was that Wordpress users received really bad customer service.

Yes most of the things that went wrong with their site was their fault or the fact they did not update their Wordpress sites and they got hacked.

However... I still didn't like what I saw and heard so I resigned and started my own wordpress hosting solution. Shared/VPS hosting specifically for Wordpress and other popular CMS users. Of course our servers can run lots of other things as well but we optimize them for the fastest Wordpress response times, and security.

I think you would be a really great candidate for our shared hosting because you want to reduce costs (you'll also need a control panel if you get a VPS which is $14.95 extra for cPanel), increase security, and host gallery sites as well.

Of course we could also provide you a VPS with VestaCP (which is free) if you are OK with not going with cPanel. We can also spin you up a Ubuntu EasyEngine VPS to try out.

Hit me up and I'll give you several options to choose from.

Cloud versus not so cloud...

To you the blogger it's all the same.

a few questions
- how much visitors you have at day on your blog?
- is it will be the one blog?
-plugins - are you sure that 512mb will be enough?
I see some blogs on WP who need 2GB of memory
