Cloud VPSs from Pickaweb. Too good to be true???

Hi Everyone

I have just watched a YouTube video from a company called Pickaweb and I am wondering if what it says about cloud VPSs is too good to be true.

At 2.55 in the video, the founder of Pickaweb starts to explain the difference between "single server" VPSs and cloud VPSs.

At 4.00, he states the following: "Many dedicated servers are pooled together to form a hardware cloud. The VPS can be stored across several physical servers. So this way, there's no single point of failure. The beauty of this approach is that even in the unlikely event that there is a complete hardware failure on one of the servers, the VPS will continue working because the data is stored on other servers and the failed server can be repaired and entered back into the hardware cloud."

The above quote seems to imply that the VPS will never fail. I would be very grateful for your thoughts about this.

Thank you very much.

 
All he is saying is that the Cloud VPS is not tied to designated hardware server but across a cluster of servers providing some additional resilience and flexibility in capacity for your web site.

Whether its dedicated, single server VPS or cloud VPS provision depends on the needs of the software and the need to have more control of its environment.

Most hosted web sites do not need this level of control so it more content control, bandwidth and its cost with all system changes via scripts or pre-configured setups.
 
@tim.jtq shame they only have one data center in London, it that site goes down does not matter how many Cloud VPS are over multiple servers if they have no power.
