eli5: Cloud Hosting vs Dedicated

791 views

I’m looking to move my website to a new host, but there is concern that my favorite option only offers dedicated hosting versus cloud. I’m not an engineer, but I would like to understand if dedicated hosting is antiquated technology that nobody should be looking at or if it’s still a viable option for at least the next five years.

Dedicated hosting would be you having a server yourself on a private server from that company. Cloud hosting would be sharing part of a larger server with other people.

For the end user side of things it will be the exact same, but for you, depending on the host you might have to pay in part for that server on top of the monthly fees for renting it.
