At Webzi, we offer two types of virtual servers tailored to meet our clients' needs and budgets: Legacy VPS and Cloud VPS. Each server is designed for different types of projects, with features that make them suitable for various user requirements. Here, we explain the key differences between both services and help you decide which one is right for you.

Legacy VPS: The Traditional Solution

A Legacy VPS is a virtual private server that operates with traditional virtualization technology. This option is ideal for those who need a solution with full control over the server but do not require the advanced flexibility that cloud-based technology offers.

Key Features:

• Dedicated resources: CPU, RAM, and storage allocated directly to your server.
• Complete isolation: While sharing a physical server with other users, your Legacy VPS is fully isolated, allowing you to manage it as an independent server.
• Limited upgradeability: If you wish to upgrade (increase resources) or downgrade (reduce resources), a new server must be provisioned, which can result in data loss unless you perform a prior backup and full reinstallation.

What projects are suitable for a Legacy VPS?

• Small to medium websites: If you manage sites without immediate scalability requirements, a Legacy VPS can be more than sufficient.
• Applications that don't require frequent resource changes: Ideal if your project is well-defined and doesn’t need constant adjustments in server size.
• Budget-conscious users: A great choice if you're looking for a cost-effective option that offers full control over your environment without the need for high flexibility.

Who is it for?

This type of server is ideal for independent developers, small businesses, and projects with stable workloads that do not require quick scalability or dynamic resource adjustments.

Cloud VPS: Cutting-Edge Technology

The Cloud VPS utilizes cloud-based technology, allowing for greater flexibility and scalability. Unlike traditional servers, Cloud VPS enables quick adjustments in resources without the need for reinstallations or downtime.

Key Features:

• Instant scalability: You can upgrade or downgrade resources (CPU, RAM, storage) without data loss, allowing you to quickly adapt to your project's needs.
• High availability: As it is cloud-based, your VPS is hosted on a distributed infrastructure, ensuring greater redundancy and faster recovery in case of failure.
• Cost optimization: You only pay for the resources you use, and you can adjust your server size based on project demands, avoiding unnecessary costs.

What projects are suitable for a Cloud VPS?

• Growing projects: If your application or website is growing quickly or experiences traffic spikes, a Cloud VPS allows you to scale resources efficiently.
• Development and testing: Ideal for development and testing environments where requirements may change frequently.
• Critical applications: Applications that require high availability and flexibility, such as e-commerce, streaming services, or enterprise-level applications, greatly benefit from cloud infrastructure.

Who is it for?

This type of server is ideal for growing businesses, startups, and developers who need flexibility, scalability, and the ability to adjust resources dynamically without compromising stability or data.
