Typically, a VPS is offered as a contracted service with fixed features (CPU, RAM, Hard Drive). With most VPS offerings, the resources you pay for are not guaranteed and are often oversold. A Cloud Server allows you to pay for only what you use and easily scale from 256 MB of RAM and a single processor to 16 GB of RAM and multiple CPUs. Additionally, we not only guarantee access to the cloud hosting resources you are paying for when you need them, you can also burst to use additional resources when they are not in use.
