Why cloud hosting is cheaper than dedicated hosting?

[Arthur]

Hello,

I would like to know, why cloud hosting is cheaper than dedicated hosting?

Thank you

Majorly because of Maintenance and availability. For cloud servers, preservation and arrangement are done in a very big range by the cloud provider and you don't have to keep attention on it. You can buy a few additional servers at the crowning time - to manage the flow in traffic - and when the traffic is in control, take out those servers and you are charged only for the peak time.

Tools are presented for erection auto-provisioning, auto-scaling and auto management in a cloud environment these tools are gamely offered via the community obsessed open development API. Whereas tools are available in a dedicated environment you may have to wait for seller determined development

Though the technology is different, dedicated server offers a lot of resources where as the cloud offers comparatively less (cost wise)

Contrasting cloud evaluating with devoted servers. For long running workloads such as databases, it's not less expensive to utilize the cloud..

Yes, it is right that cloud is cheaper than a dedicated server because the cloud has an ability of auto scaling which allow it to allocate the resources in real time. Therefore the resources will not get wasted if it is not been utilised, and you will have to pay only for those resources that have been used. That's why it will help you to cut down the cost of useless resources; hence it will come at a lower price than that of a dedicated server

Cloud Hosting is cheaper because of its significant feature of auto-scalabiltiy where resources are scaled up or down depending upon the requirement in real time. You pay only for the resources that are allocated and hence resources are not over or under utilised. This helps in keeping the costs down compared to dedicated server.

Both the technology has different - different factors. Like dedicated server has lots of resource as compared to cloud. Secondly, Cloud has an important factor of auto scaling to allocate the resources in real time. Because of this ability the resources that has not been utilized will not get wasted. So we have to pay only for those resources that have been used.
