Cloud hosting is a type of web hosting, not a different internet. Ordinary web hosting keeps the site on one server. Cloud hosting uses a pool of servers, so one failed node need not take the site down, and CPU or RAM can be stepped up. Cloud Entry is ₹5,900 a month before 18% GST.
What is cloud web hosting?
Cloud web hosting stores the site on several connected servers instead of one box. If a node fails, another can keep serving. You can raise vCPU, RAM or disk on that same account. Cloud web server hosting means the server itself is drawn from that pool.
Cloud web services, such as software you open in a browser, are a different product. They deliver an app. Website files are a different job. WebJi® sells website hosting, not a communications cloud.
- Several servers act as one hosting account
- A failed node does not have to take the whole site down
- vCPU, RAM and disk can be stepped up without a new machine
Virtualization splits one physical machine into virtual machines. Cloud hosting uses a pool of those machines as the service. A data centre is the building that holds the hardware. A public cloud shares the provider pool. A private cloud is reserved for one organisation.
How does web hosting differ from cloud hosting?
The difference between cloud hosting and web hosting is how many machines serve the site. Web hosting is the broad name. In practice it usually means one server: shared, a VPS, or a dedicated machine. Cloud hosting is one way to do that job, using a pool instead of that single server.
Searching for the difference between web hosting and cloud hosting is the same question with the words swapped. Cloud vs web hosting is the short form.
| Web hosting on one server | Cloud hosting | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the site lives | One machine, often shared | A pool of servers acting as one |
| If hardware fails | Sites on that machine go down | Another node can keep serving |
| Growing | Move to a larger plan | Step up vCPU, RAM or disk |
| Fits | A steady, modest site | A site that cannot sit on one box |
The table is also the difference between cloud computing and a traditional single computer, for a website: a fixed machine versus a pool you can step up. WebJi® states a 99.9% uptime target. The word cloud does not, by itself, raise that figure. Cloud is not the cheaper row.
What is a web server versus a cloud server?
A web server is the machine, or the software on it, that sends your pages to the browser. Apache, Nginx and IIS are server programs. They are not a hosting plan. A cloud server is a virtual machine drawn from a pool, so the size is not locked to one piece of hardware.
A VPS is one virtual machine on one host. It is still a single server. The cloud tiers are a sized vCPU, RAM and disk package you can step up. Use a VPS when one machine is enough. Do not treat a VPS price and a cloud price as the same unit. The VPS amount is on that page, not in this table.
Is shared hosting the same as cloud hosting?
No. Shared hosting is ordinary web hosting: many sites share one server, and the monthly bill stays fixed. The phrase shared cloud web hosting glues two products together. A shared account is not a cloud server, even when that cloud server also uses the provider's hardware pool.
WordPress hosting is still web hosting, with WordPress tools added. Reseller hosting lets you sell accounts to your own clients. Linux versus Windows hosting is a separate choice. The cloud rows below are Windows servers. The shared rows are Linux.
What does cloud hosting cost in India?
Cloud web hosting in India, on the WebJi® card, is a monthly cloud server billed in INR. These rows were read on 29 October 2026. Every figure is before 18% GST.
| Plan | What it is | Price (₹/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| L-Basic | Shared Linux, personal sites and blogs | 300 |
| L-Unlimited | Shared Linux, business sites | 400 |
| L-Developer | Shared Linux, more CPU | 700 |
| 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 |
Shared rows are Linux plans for one server. Cloud rows are Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025, with a Plesk add-on available. A size that is not listed is quoted by email at support@webji.services before you pay. There is no walk-in office. About 99% of clients are served online, in India and overseas.
Does cloud hosting make a site in India faster?
No. A visitor in India is faster when the server is near them and the site is small and cached. The word cloud does not move the server closer. A pool in a distant region can lose to a tuned single server nearer the visitor. Ask which region the node uses before you pay.
Which one should you buy?
Match the failure you cannot accept, then read the monthly price before 18% GST.
- A new site, blog or brochure with steady traffic starts on shared hosting. L-Basic is ₹300 a month, L-Unlimited is ₹400, and L-Developer is ₹700, before 18% GST.
- One virtual machine you administer is a VPS. It is not a cloud tier. Its price is a different product, so it is not in the table above.
- A site that must survive a failed node, or that will outgrow a fixed box, uses the cloud rows. Cloud Entry is ₹5,900 a month before 18% GST.
- Confirm the renewal price, then email support@webji.services. Free migration is subject to terms and approval. It is not instant. The move to cloud hosting guide is the next step after the price is agreed.
