Cloud hosting and a VPS both give you a virtual machine you administer. A VPS keeps one fixed size on a single host. Cloud hosting at WebJi® is a monthly tier you step up: Cloud Entry is ₹5,900, Cloud Business is ₹7,900, and Cloud Pro is ₹11,900, before 18% GST. A VPS size is quoted before you pay.
What is the difference between cloud hosting and a VPS?
A VPS, a virtual private server, is one virtual machine. A hypervisor such as KVM sets aside vCPU, RAM, and disk on one physical host. The virtual machines on that host cannot use more than the host has.
Cloud hosting is a virtual machine that is not stuck on one box, so the size can change. WebJi® sells cloud as three monthly Windows Server tiers, not an hourly usage bill. AWS is a usage-billed platform. It is not these tiers, and it is not a VPS.
On a VPS the usual images are Ubuntu, Debian, or AlmaLinux, and Windows Server 2022 is available. Cloud rows are Windows Server 2019, 2022, or 2025, with a Plesk add-on available. cPanel or Plesk on a VPS is optional and belongs in the quote.
- VPS: one host, fixed vCPU, RAM, and disk, with root access.
- Cloud tier: a named monthly Windows Server size you step up.
- Shared hosting does not give you either machine.
When should you pick a VPS, and when cloud?
Pick a VPS when the job is steady. A staging box, an internal tool, or a brochure site fits a sample such as 2 vCPU and 4 GB, 4 vCPU and 8 GB, or 8 vCPU and 16 GB. Those shapes are for planning. The final spec is quoted.
Pick a cloud tier when you expect the size to change. Cloud Entry suits one business app that has outgrown shared hosting. Cloud Business suits more than one site, or a database that needs 16 GB. Cloud Pro suits a heavier app that needs 32 GB and 500 GB of disk.
You know the tier fits when the RAM figure matches the one you planned and the old size is no longer the limit.
What does cloud hosting cost next to a VPS?
Amounts below are monthly INR, before 18% GST, read on 29 October 2026. Cloud has no one-year price in the price file. A VPS rupee figure is not in that file, so the VPS row stays quoted.
| Tier | Specs | Price (₹/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Entry | 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB | 5,900 |
| Cloud Business | 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 250 GB | 7,900 |
| Cloud Pro | 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 500 GB | 11,900 |
| VPS | Fixed sample size, root access | Quoted before payment |
A price in another currency is not the same unit as these rupee months. Compare only when vCPU, RAM, disk, and the billing month match, then add 18% GST to the WebJi figures.
What happens when the host fails or you need more RAM?
On a VPS, the machine waits if that one host fails. Adding RAM means a larger plan, and that change usually needs a reboot. You know the resize worked when the new RAM figure shows on the server and the site answers again.
On a WebJi cloud tier, growth is the next published row, not a script that adds CPU by itself during a spike. A restart time on another node is not published. The uptime target is 99.9%.
| Question | VPS | Cloud tier |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | One physical host | A named monthly size |
| More RAM | A larger quoted plan, usually a reboot | Next row: 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB |
| If the host fails | That machine waits | No timed failover is published |
| Bill | Quoted before you pay | ₹5,900, ₹7,900, or ₹11,900 a month before GST |
How do dedicated hosting, WordPress, and a CDN differ?
A dedicated server is the whole physical machine. Cloud hosting versus dedicated hosting is a virtual tier versus that box. Traditional hosting, for this choice, means a shared account or a single-host VPS.
WordPress hosting is a site account, not a cloud server. WordPress Unlimited is ₹400 a month before 18% GST. A CDN caches files closer to visitors. It does not replace the server, so cloud hosting versus a CDN is a different job.
How do you move a VPS onto a cloud tier?
Free migration is subject to terms and approval. It is not instant. A separate one-time move of one domain is ₹700 before GST: FTP files and up to five MySQL databases, up to 5 GB.
- Email support@webji.services with the current server size and the cloud tier you want.
- Keep the old server online while files and databases are copied.
- Open the site on the new host and check the pages that matter.
- Change DNS last. The move worked when the site loads on the new host and the old copy is still available.
