Just like traditional hosting servers, the prices of cloud hosting vary a lot depending on your needs. Cloud hosting is generally more expensive than traditional hosting. So if you’re running a low-budget website that doesn’t need all the benefits of cloud hosting, then you will probably be fine with a traditional shared hosting setup. If you want to go with cloud hosting, there are a few things that factor into the price. Firstly, there are your requirements for the server itself in the terms of resources, memory, operating system, and similar technical requirements. Something as simple as the operating system can have a big influence on the price. Secondly, there’s a difference between picking an existing plan vs. a custom plan with a hosting provider. If you can find an existing plan with a hosting provider that fits your needs, then that’ll typically be cheaper than having a custom plan. Lastly, there’s the type of hosting that you require. Public, shared cloud hosting is the cheapest option, while private and managed are both more expensive.
