Can anyone explain the difference between web hosting and cloud hosting?

Web hosting is the process of providing a server with space to store, manage and run websites. Cloud hosting is the same thing but at a higher level of service that includes everything from domain name registration to backup and security. These are both services provided by companies like HostGator and BlueHost.

This service is provided by hosting companies like DreamHost, GoDaddy etc. The web hosting company provides you with space on their servers where they will store your website files, databases and scripts (code). They also provide you with email accounts and domain names which are registered on their name servers. You can also use your own domain name if you have one or buy one from a registrar such as NameCheap.

Cloud hosting
Cloud hosting is a service that allows you to host your website on the internet without having to worry about hardware, maintenance or other technical issues. The cloud provider will manage all of the servers and storage for you so that you can focus on running your business. Cloud Hosting services are available in many different shapes and forms such as virtual private servers (VPS), dedicated servers, co-location facilities etc…

The website becomes dependent on a single physical server due to web hosting. It reduces the reliability of the resources. Web hosting is a service that includes storing site files on a server. presence of web hosting, it is possible to display the site every time a user requests your domain name. Cloud hosting provides a network of servers that store your data. If one server goes down due to a hardware issue, it is immediately replaced by another.

In simple words web hosting is for taking your website online, cloud hosting is for taking your infrastructure online.
