Shared hosting vs cloud hosting features
Uptime
Shared hosting may guarantee 99.99% uptimes, however, it is challenging to live up to that. One major reason for this is the shared nature of the services. If one website experiences unprecedented high traffic could cause downtime issues with all the websites on that server.
Cloud hosting, on the other hand, has impeccable uptimes since the users are on a dedicated server. Even though there is an aspect of shared resources, problems on one server only mean websites are moved to another functioning server.
Support
Cloud hosting has an upper hand in this regard. Even the advanced users as well (those on the cloud) tend to have more features. They have unlimited everything, from storage to bandwidth and databases.
Shared hosting is prone to more limits than the web host cares to divulge. Although the plan promises unlimited resources if the monitoring team notices a user overusing the limited resources repercussions like suspensions can occur.
Bonuses
In this instance, shared hosting is the clear winner. Since every web hosting company is trying to attract the huge client base of shared hosting, free bonuses abound for all. This can range from domain names to free web transfers and website builders. This is a plus for users on shared hosting.
Cloud users are not prone to such offers or have very limited options.
