VPS is the short form of Virtual Private Service. It is a form of technology that allows computer hardware to support multiple servers at the same time. Each server is separated in such a way that the operation in one won't affect the other, yet all the servers are connected to the same machine. Cloud Instance Computing is like a technology that provides more resources for independent servers rather than being connected to a machine. That's why cloud instance computing can be regarded as VPS, but VPS cannot be classified as cloud instance computing.

The main difference is VPS hosting affords you with a cybernetic server sitting in one physical server, while cloud computing will deliver you with that virtual instance on a cluster of servers that are sharing resources. Cloud hosting is when a cloud service vendor provides a virtual machine instance that does not have fixed computing attributes.

There may be a minimum or maximum size configuration for the server. VPS or managed virtual servers are delivered as a traditional managed server, although running as a virtual server, typically in a multi-tenant environment. VPS generally is less expensive.
