    VPS and Cloud have their own benefits. What is good about cloud is that ,with the Cloud server you will be able to modify the server resources anytime you want this.

    I advise you to check Hostgator VPS servers as there is possibility to update resources on their servers when you need this.

    There is no great difference between them, as per my knowledge you get dedicated resources in cloud compared to vps.

    It depends as what some people call Cloud Servers are basically Xen VPS using onAPP, Yeah you will get better resources as its multiple nodes and in general they profrm better (depending on the host) I guess it depends on your budget to be honest.

    It's not really a matter of which is better, it's more a matter of which is better for your needs. A virtual private server is a middle ground between a dedicated server and shared hosting. Using virtualization software on a server, a number of different companies can each experience the basic advantages of a dedicated server without having to undergo the expense of a complete server. Hosting via cloud computing is on-demand, meaning the amount of storage you have, bandwidth you need, and CPU you require is all changeable on a moment by moment basis. VPS can be adjusted as well, just like any hosting package, but not immediately. Also, VPS allows bursting, popping up into unused resources when a flood of traffic hits and the apportioned resources max out, but that capability is limited. Cloud is designed in a way that is truly optimized for scale; it’s virtually unhindered. This post goes into a bit more detail. http://www.atlantic.net/blog/2013/10/23/cloud-vs-vps-hosting/

    The problem, is that if you are comparing cloud and VPS pricewise, you probably aren't looking at a true cloud platform. True scalable cloud platforms, with SAN backend, etc., are going to be considerably more expensive than a VPS, assuming the same resources on both.

    Well the keyword here is small business, meaning price wise your best off going with a VPS server. While it is true a CLOUD server is better off spec wise it will also be much more expensive. Paying double the price for a small business server hosted on the CLOUD vs VPS isn't going to be a huge difference, performance wise unless you're receiving a questionable amount of visitors a month. So what it comes down to is, do you really need this CLOUD server rather than a VPS? Because you want to provide only the best performance for the thousands visiting your website a month? Well then you think, what if i'm not receiving thousands of visitors a month but still want to provide only the best performance for my website visitors? Then look into a KZM VPS witch ensures all resources paid for are dedicated to you and can be compared to a CLOUD server on a smaller scale performance wise, but at less cost.

    In cloud environment you can except more uptime than traditional VPS. Some cloud providers offer fail-over mechanism for maximum uptime.

    Cloud Hosting refers to latest trend of web hosting platform between various connected servers through which we can use the resources of various clustered servers and cloud hosting have two main purposes rule and divide. Also cloud hosting provides an instantly scalable depend on assets usage and bills in order to bandwidth, CPU & usage memory utilization.
    VPS Hosting (Virtual Private Server) or Virtual Dedicated Server refers to middle ground level among the dedicated server and shared hosting. VPS Hosting is also referred to machine and it’s allocated into different categories for various hosting clients and provides a rapidly scalable solution depend on purchased assets in order to memory,processor & speeddisk space

    Both are good, if price is not the factor then one should go for Cloud hosting

    As far as small business is concerned, definitely go with VPS Hosting (Linux has cheap than Windows based OS Plans). Cloud Hosting includes scalability, automatic failover feature, which is quite helpful for non stop working of your Business website. If there is a need to switch the node for some problem in existing one, it can be easily done and you can enjoy the fruitful results out of it

    Whereas, VPS hosting guarantees for maximum Uptime but it's physical machine. There will be some problem which can stop working of your website and Business until it's active again.

    cloud hosting is cheaper than vps hosting and performance is depends upon server configuration.
