VPS vs Cloud Hosting | Should You Use Web hosting?

 

cloud hosting verse virtual private servers which one should you choose well

this video I'm breaking bound both giving you the pros and cons of a virtual private server one you host in control and paying someone monthly fee and just saying hey I need a WordPress site 

 

what are the differences and which one should you choose this video is brought to you by up cloud they have data centers around the world definitely check them out I'll leave a link in the description below it comes with a free $25 credit that you can use to test out their VPS services that I'm gonna go over in this video so first off VPS first cloud hosting this is kind of a weird one because a lot of cloud hosting

can mean a lot of different things so I'm actually gonna change cloud hosting to say web hosting I want to just differentiate those two because cloud hosting can mean Virtual Private servers

but it can also mean web hosting depending on the website you check so just think of when I say cloud hosting or web hosting that's really what I'm meaning and then when I say VPS that's your virtual private server it means you're renting server space from one of these data centers and then you can

control the server so let's go ahead and jump into this VPS verse web hosting so first off VPS is your own server you are the one that sets up your website you are the one that controls the security

of your website

you are the master of your server I absolutely love this if you have the
skill set to do it because one it's cheaper to you get better performance and then three you can do all kinds of customizations with it the big downside well you got to know what you're doing that's why I make a lot of VPS videos going over you know setting up your
website from scratch that installs you know installing Apache or a lamp stack all these different things to get a website to work that's kind of what I do in a lot of my videos absolutely love this solution it's by far my favor anybody that's watched the channel for any extended period of time knows what I think about the next option which is web hosting so why do people use web hosting well thanks 

YouTube most sponsorships on

YouTube revolve around web hosts people

that get paid good affiliate links and

when I say good like I don't get paid it

for you to click on a link and then go

ahead and go through it most of that

isn't affiliate revenue on my VPS is

that I've done in the past

actually both sponsors were just

straight-up paid spots that are hey just

a quick advertisement I don't see any

money from you clicking that link

however if I would have done a web host

I would see almost 40% of all revenue

that you'd share with them that's a huge

huge Commission so I really should

recommend web hosting because I would

get paid a lot more money however I hate

web hosting why is that and the answer

is web hosts are able to sell a lot of

really cheap servers or web space

because what they do is they share one

server in a lot of instances one

instance of a server where you'll have

10 20 100 websites all sitting on the

same server what does this do well let's

say one server starts seeing a lot more

traffic it could bog down the rest of

the servers or the rest of the web sites

on that server so one website gets a lot

of traffic the rest of the web sites

suffer and this is so bad that's why

when it comes to web host I'm always

like if you see a plan that's like $5

$10 or even less than that per month run

because that's exactly how they're

getting those cheap prices and shared

web space is garbage it's nothing you

ever ever want to put a business on I've

had to move so many business websites

just specifically they've done crappy

web hosting and some people are like hey

what web hosts do you recommend and I'm

always like well it depends on the

website if it's a WordPress website I

always just say WP engine they're not

cheap but guess what they work they have

reliable servers and I don't know I know

they don't subscribe

this really crappy practice they have a

really good clustered environment I've

never had poor performance using

wpengine now they're not sponsored they

haven't paid me any money

they haven't even talked to me and guess

what I recommend them they're that good

but they're also not cheap when I say

not cheap I think their lowest plans

like around 20 bucks 25 bucks something

like that today it could fluctuate

depending on what you do and I don't

even have a link for you to click on

just go check them out WP engine just

type it in Google it'll pop up but as

far as other web hosts well I've been on

almost all of them and I got to say most

the performance is inconsistent there's

times I've had to move off of many of

these hosts because I've had some of the

more popular ones that I've seen

actually get hacked and actually had

ramifications with the website I've

actually dealt with where the business

had some issues and I was like well

let's just take the backups move it over

to another web site and that's where we

did or host the own website using a VPS

very important this is one reason why

you've got to watch out what web hosting

you do in if it's a really cheap web

host it's probably not gonna end well

for you so why do people use web hosting

so there's the marketing aspect most

people all over social media recommended

because their affiliate payouts are

amazing I really rethinking actually

doing this video because if I flip this

around I could make a lot more money

anyways disregard they are very easy to

set up so you got the marketing aspect

they kill in marketing they're awesome

and then you got the easy setup portion

of it which is also incredibly awesome

so definitely as far as the easy setup

goes hey you just sign in you have your

own stalked instance if it's a wordpress

site well you got all your WordPress

just sitting there and then you just

start loading templates and going anyone

can do it and then besides like that

there's no real other pro to doing web

hosting you don't have as many

customization options you don't have any

control over what goes on

as far as performance issues in your

reliant on their support and that's when

you have to contact the support now I've

been an ID for almost twenty years so

I've had to contact a lot of support on

all these different sites and I gotta

say there's very few that actually

passed the bar of hay telling me what's

going on I've had all kinds of BS

answers and different things and

headaches from mini web hosting

companies that's why I never really

recommend any of them

and if I had to pick one other reason

why you would want to go with a web host

because obviously this was not a very

good video where you're like hey you

choose no most-most instance in like

choose the VPS if you got some skills

definitely use the VPS but there is

another instance where I would say okay

don't use a VPS use a web host and that

is in really big instances where you

have a website that does tons and tons

and tons of traffic like tens of

thousands of hits per day well one

server isn't gonna cover that I don't

care how big that VPS server is it's not

gonna cover that kind of traffic and you

need to do clustering and other things

and that's where a web host would be

better equipped with that because you're

gonna need someone with a considerable

skill set to set up clustering and other

things to make that website run

flawlessly so definitely watch this a

big big thing when it comes to actually

setting up your your website so I

honestly still skew towards the actual

VPS a lot of times even if I've never

seen a website that actually needed the

clustering aspect of it and when it

comes to websites that started to get

hit pretty hard or the VPS started

performing not as well because I was

getting thousands of hits per day I

would usually just pump it over to a CDN

or a content delivery network and then

go from there my delivery network of

choice is CDN 77 again I've used them in

past videos and I use them on my website

and they're awesome they it's actually a

really great company that has awesome

services but again they're not cheap

that's really meant for big

business if you're getting thousands of

hits per day otherwise you probably

don't even need a CDN you just want to

set up a sample website a VPS just makes

a lot more sense but those are my

opinions when it comes to VPS first web

hosting a lot of times I say VPS if you

have this skill set you can set it up

there's no reason not to do a VPS and if

you don't and you just want an easy

one-click setup know what you're getting

into and don't cheap out on that web

host because guess what that's gonna

come back to bite you just saying but

with all that let me know your thoughts

down in the comment section below and a

big shout out to my patrons without you

Learn how to load datasets on to your Cloud Server

 

what's up guys today we are going to see

how we can transfer files to and from

our cloud server I'm going to use Google

cloud platform as an example but all of

these techniques apply to other cloud

services too so without further ado

let's start with the tutorial the first

the first method can be to simply use

the upload option and suppose I want to

upload this it's a simple process

it will show you the progress of the

entire upload here but I would not

recommend this because you need to have

the data set on your laptop first and

the uploads can take a long time if the

dataset is big so let's move on to a new

technique for that you first need to

install a Chrome extension

install this extension

I have already installed it but you can

just click this button like below and

after installing it you will see an icon

here

now we move on to a data set that we

want to download suppose I want to

download this data set from Kegel and

you can see that the size is quite big

so let's use a new technique click on

download

cancel it now go to this icon of the

extension that we just installed copy

this link go to 3d notebook like an

exclamation mark paste our link and run

it now if you do this same thing using

the old method you will have to download

this on your laptop first and we upload

it to the server and it would take a

long time before you can get working on

the data side you can see that it took a

little more than half a minute to

download the three data set onto our

server let's take another example

suppose I want to download this data set

of hand gestures

so let me use the same technique

cancel the download copy this link

learn this notebook it will start

downloading you can download files from

any source like this you just have to

use your browser

after you have completed all your work

on the data set if you want it back on

your computer you can just select it and

download

I want to walk through one last method

that involves using drupal death if you

don't want to download this data set on

your laptop you can just save it to your

google drive and use it later on so

let's go through the method you need to

visit this link that I will provide in

the description we want to use

g-drive 64-bit for the next

they're going to use the same one method

for downloading data set cancel this

proper this link

go to the north hook and run it

it will download gta on your system you

can see that it has downloaded it now we

need to give it the permission to run on

our system type this command

suppose I wanted upload this data set to

my Google Drive so write the name of the

final file

did I like upload space and now type the

name of the file you want to save to

Google Drive press ENTER and will upload

it to Google Earth and you can see

you can see that the file has arrived on

my dad you can use the same process no

matter how big the file is

if you are using G Drive on your system

for the first time it will ask you to

enter a verification code but you will

be provided a link where you can find

that code so it's a simple process

Difference Between GCP and AWS

 

there is no doubt that the demand for public cloud solution is rising at an

extensive rate and this translates to growing opportunities for public cloud

providers as well and two of the major cloud players of 2019 are Amazon Web

Services and Google cloud platform. Hey guys this is Shubham from Intellipaat

and today we're gonna compare both of these cloud Giants and discuss which one

to choose so without any further delays let's get started. First let's take a

brief look over both of these cloud services starting off with Amazon Web

Services where according to their official website Amazon Web Services is

a subsidiary of amazon.com which provides on-demand cloud computing

platforms to individuals, companies and governments on a paid subscription basis

similarly Google cloud which is offered by Google is a suite of cloud computing

services that runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses

internally for its end-user products such as Google search engine and YouTube

now let's look into the history and talk about the establishment of both. AWS was

launched in 2006 thus having more experience in cloud domain than Google

or any of the cloud computing providers and it successfully meet the on-demand

needs of enterprises in regards to cloud computing platform. On the other hand

Google cloud was launched in 2011 which is no doubt a third competitor after

Azure and is quite a reliable and cheap cloud computing platform for businesses

but still the question remains how are these two cloud services different and

what are the factors that we need to focus on while comparing AWS and Google

cloud that we shall discuss while we move ahead. Sarting off from the basic

and discuss the first factor that is the availability zones we are all aware of

their establishments now we all know that the AWS was the first one of its

kind right which means a AWS is hosting a multiple locations worldwide

and of course is true for Google as well but here also the difference occurs in

the numbers of region and availability zones talking of numbers AWS has 55

availability zones worldwide with 8 more on its way whereas Google is having 18

availability zones with 3 more on the way which is no doubt is quite lesser

than AWS. Now let's move forward and talk about

the next factor that is the market share. If we check this graph right here which

clearly depicts that how AWS is leading with 40% of public cloud market share

worldwide on its name whereas azure on the second place with 30% of market

share and Google cloud is on the third place with 10% of market share and the

other cloud providers are at 20%. right? also if you check the Google Trends

graph and compare the popularity. These are the stats where you can easily

figure out that how interest for AWS has been surpassing Google cloud worldwide

in the past 12 months also if we check their search results and trends according

to USA same cases here as well where there is more interest for AWS than

Google cloud in case of India here are the results still aws is more

trending than Google cloud. These are the results from past 12 months and have

been waiting and relatively increasing with AWS on first and Google cloud on

third place from past decade and guys according to a recent report by CNBC

even though Google cloud is lagging behind AWS and azure with 5.44

billion dollars and six billion dollars respectively they have crossed a 1

billion dollars per quarter of revenue by 2018 which is actually a good number

for beginner who just recently entered into the public cloud market it is just

taking time to cope up with other cloud providers because of being a late comer

in the cloud domain we can say also Google suite now has four million paying

customers said by sundar pichai sounds convincing right? Now what we can

conclude from the fact that AWS is on the first place as a cloud

provider is that due to its more experience and implementation in the

cloud domain it obviously has a bigger community support and trust across its

clients. This is the reason why aws has more high-profile customers like

Netflix Airbnb Unilever BMW Samsung's Xiaomi Zinga etc no doubt I haven't seen

too many experienced reports on Google cloud but almost every feedback or

reviews are checked about them were good enough says that share the same

infrastructure that of Google search engine and YouTube that is why many huge

companies are having faith on them and some of the major clients are hsbc

PayPal twentieth Century Fox Bloomberg Target Domino's etc. Don't

think it's quite impressive for a public cloud provider like Google

to be on third place with such huge revenue even when they are relatively

new one compared to a title holder such as AWS now after discussing the

establishment in the market let's talk about what each provider has to offer in

terms of services and then discuss about their integration with the open source

tools. So the services which I am going to compare here comes under the

following domains: compute, database, storage, security, networking, monitoring,

development and Internet of Things so aws covers up like 200 plus

services whereas Google Cloud have been catching up with it with the lesser

number of 60 plus services. In these domains some of the services that AWS

covers are Amazon Web Services ec2, rds, s3, Iam, VPC, cloud watch, cloud 9,

IOT core and many more. Similarly Google cloud covers the

services like cloud engine, cloud datastore, cloud storage, cloud Iam,

cloud DNS or we can call it Google cloud DNS stack driver monitoring, cloud SDK,

cloud IOT core and many more. No doubt with a lesser number and also both of

these cloud providers have better relations with the open source

communities both AWS and Google cloud can integrate with multiple open source

tools like docker, ansible, github, jenkins,kubernetes, tenserflows etc and more

importantly they are both friendlier when it comes to the Linux servers. Now

another factor is its down time and speed so having a matured infrastructure

the maximum downtime phase by AWS in 2015 was of 2 hours and 30 minutes

whereas having a progressing infrastructure Google faced a huge

downtime of 11 hours and 34 minutes in 2015 and that is why when you compare

the reliability in both this is where AWS comes out to be a preferable choice

talking about its speed well this is where Google cloud platform takes the

lead. Let us check from the basic demonstration that how quick both of

these services are when it comes to launching an instance now I've opened up

my account on AWS management console as well as on the Google cloud platform so

we'll start off from launching an ubuntu machine so we'll start from ec2 in AWS

which comes under the compute domain so click on ec2

and launch instance and select the Ubuntu server I'm gonna select the T 2

dot micro because it comes under the free tier eligibility and we need not

configure anything here and simply click on review and launch it it will ask you

for a key pair so we we are going to create a new key pair here so like let's

keep it as demo aws okay and download the key pair so it will

download it for you and launch the instance. So now it is initiating the

instance so you can see it is on the pending state and even after that it is

running so it will also do the statistic where it will be initializing it for you

so let's see how fast here the compute engine is so this is how your Google

dashboard looks like we'll go to the compute engine and click on VM instances

there are already three running instances and will click on create

instance and select the Ubuntu machine here ubuntu 8.04 and select and we need

not configure anything here no keep nothing and simply create the instance

let's wait for an instance to launch okay this is on the running state but

still the status checks is initializing okay and you cannot connect to it

currently so let's wait for our Google instance to launch. So guys now you can

check that launching an instance here is quite easier as well as it is faster

than AWS management console okay from this I can easily conclude that Google

cloud platform is way faster than AWS when it comes to launching an instance

or even deploying an operating system even in terms of VM size so guys now let's

move it and check their pricing models in case of a double is a very basic

instance which includes two virtual CPUs and Ageing your prom will cost you

around 69 dollars perma and when compared to GCP with 25% cheaper rate it

will cost you around fifty-two dollars per month also the largest instance

offered by a double uses of 3.84 TB of ramp along with 128 virtual CPUs which

will cost you around three point ninety seven dollars per hour and in case of

Google this is where Google takes the lead with a whooping number of 160

virtual CPUs with a 3.75 TB of RAM which cost you around 5.30 $2 per hour which I

believe is much cheaper in terms of virtual CPUs provisioning as compared to

AWS and my new guys CCP has been catching up quickly as prior to March

2017 the largest VM on GCP only had 32 CPUs and prior to 2018 this is the

growth rate that we discussed here now let's move ahead so what are the job

trends in AWS and Google cloud so this is again a frequently asked question by

most of the learners in the cloud domain if we discuss the job trends and both

well check this graph here which shows that starts of the job posting in

previous four years the green line is for the job trends in aid of your

solutions architect and the orange line is for job trends and Google Cloud

solutions architect you can easily absorb from this graph that there has

been arised for the jobs in aid of this whereas in case of Google it is still

rising since it's a new cloud provider in the industry as we discussed above

Google may take some time to rise to that level since AWS already reading in

the market shares with 40% of it that means there are greater number of jobs

in case of AWS as compared to Google with 10% of the shares

so it only concludes that there are a greater number of jobs in case of AWS

but I would like to say this doesn't mean that Google cloud does not have

that potential or capacity to reach to this level incoming future because the

kind of services Google cloud is providing right now are doing quite well

so as who do you think is the winner here AWS or Google cloud well most of

you must have figured out from the above starts at how Google cloud is rising at

an advanced rate and as always at the 3rd place after a double initial no

doubt Google cloud may surpass AWS in a short someday which makes it very

difficult to declare one of them as the winner as Google have many advantages

over AWS like pricings and speed however AWS has been a consistent pioneer in the

cloud services it's more mature infrastructure causing less downtime

easier makes EWS a preferable choice for majority of the users so guys thank you

so much for watching this session I would love to hear from you guys that

which one of them is better according to you and why please reply to us in the

comment section below see you again yeah
