Cloud Vs. shared :
Hosting is basically providing storage and computing resources to different organizations & individuals
Shared hosting allows different websites to share physical web servers and their resources between hosted websites.Each user get a section of server where they can host their website files.Shared hosting is not sufficient for a site where high traffic,less security concerns. Shared hosting in most economical hosting package.In shared hosting package ,each server splits into different or multiple users and each user share a specific amount of bandwidth. It distributes storage capacity,RAM,all devices,CPU throughout all connected users.This style of hosting is best suited for small websites which doesn’t required advance configuration or hight bandwith
Where cloud hosting is hosting model that provide hosting on virtual servers.These are provided on demand basis and hosted on top of cloud computing infrastructure.They are cost saving and can be access at any time. User can tap into their services as much as they needed,depending on their requirements at any stage.

If a website uses 1GB of bandwidth, then this 1GB is fully supported and is not available for other sites.For this reason performance is affected by number of websites on the servers.
Where,cloud hosting allow directly influence the performance of any website.Certain amount of resources given that can increased or decreased on the basis of need and budget. Cloud hosting performance is ultra fast, scalable and customizable. In case of heavy traffic site won’t overloaded and slowdown. It’s performance can be terrible if use small or less resources and great if buy lot of virtual hardware.
- Cost:
