I'll simply explain it with a example:

Shared hosting is like a post paid plan of Telephone where you have to pay a fix sum of money with the barriers of resources just like data, calls and SMS but when you get a

Cloud hosting with same plan but here you'll not have the barriers you can use more data than allotted. So technically you'll have to pay for extra usage in cloud hosting which makes it more expansive than share hosting.

Just because of Marketing, Cloud Hosting is nothing but only a Marketing word which is used by big companies.

I have a cloud vps which also run slow and sometimes goes offline so Its function similar to VPS however If you pay more money then of-course you will get some advantage. Similar thing happened with VPS, If you will buy 3 VPS or 4 VPS and use it for separate application then of-course it will give you some advantage.

When we saw the Cloud hosting is widely seen as a better option to shared hosting because of its ability to handle large amounts of traffic, its improved security protection, and its reliability. However, these extras increase the price of cloud hostings, and most cloud hosting (https://www.hapihhost.in/cpu-intensive-cloud-vps/) options are more expensive than shared hosting plans.

Cloud hosting offers you high availability solution, while shared hosting does not offer that.

Shared hosting companies have already invested in bulk infrastructure and at the level these companies operate, they have huge negotiation potential to lower price for bandwidth as well as disk space.To remain viable and compete in cut throat competetion they keep their prices low.The only drawback is that you get an about average performance from these shared hosting environment,still it is more than enough that you require for most of the websites. Cloud hosting is totally a different ballgame.They are the latest buzz and certainly they are not targeting the low end customers.Cloud hosting is more suitable where you need to use the high end spec,servers for shorter span, or where there is a continuous requirement for extra resources from time to time.Cloud hosting is very much flexible in terms of quality of resources as well as control of resources. For high end web applications or for corporate softwares cloud is the right game, for websites shared hosting or a good VPS is all you need for best pricing.

Yes, cloud servers are often more expensive than dedicated or virtual private server resources. Because each component of a Cloud server is redundant across CPU, storage, and networking, cloud hosting resources are deemed high-availability and high-performance. Given these benefits, it's no surprise that cloud hosting is frequently regarded as a superior alternative to shared hosting. However, it's crucial to remember that these benefits come at a price, and cloud hosting is generally more expensive than shared hosting options.

Cloud Hosting is a web hosting service where you can easily host your website and get unlimited resources as compared to the other hosting solution. It is a little expensive but you can easily afford it and buy it your own budget. You can build a strong brand name in your market.

Shared Hosting offers limited access and resources so you can not develop your business in future
