Hey guys,
I was going to rent a 2gb VPS, but I saw this new service called Cloud Hosting, more info here: http://www.hostgator.com/cloud
Their landing page states that you can get 2x faster websites.
Has anyone tried Cloud Hosting? Do you recommend it?
Or I just go with a VPS?
Regards,
Marco
This thread by caurmen will give you a good overview.
Just looks like normal shared hosting to me, which sucks.
There is no such specific thing as "cloud hosting". It's a buzz term, meaningless, like saying you base your sites on "3rd-generation autoscaling hypervirtualised private server nodes", when what you mean is "I use a VPS".
If it's extremely cheap, from HostGator, and offers something wild like 4x the normal resources you would get for a basic VPS at that price... common sense dictates you are not getting quality.
