To put it simply, cloud servers mean virtual servers which run on cloud computing environment. That is why very often Cloud Servers are referred to as Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS). While it is true that every cloud server can be called a virtual dedicated server, the opposite is not always true. This is because a virtual dedicated server can be placed only on a single hardware server and thus suffer from a single point of failure when any of its hardware fails.Cloud servers run as software-independent units. This means that a cloud server has all the software it requires to run and does not depend on any centrally-installed software.
Cloud Server Benefits

    Freedom to modify all the server software to your needs. This includes the operating system kernel which is not always the case with other virtualization solutions such as private virtual servers.
    Stability and security because a software problem is isolated from and to your environment. Others' cloud servers can't harm you and you can't harm others. Also, if other users overload their cloud servers this will have no impact on yours because resources are dedicated and your stability is guaranteed. In addition to that cloud servers don’t suffer from hardware problems as previously said.
    Cloud servers probably hold the best stability / cost ratio performance. They do not suffer from the usual server hardware problems and they have all Cloud computing, benefits, i.e. they are stable, fast and secure.
    On the other hand, cloud servers are economically more efficient than the standard dedicated servers. For a similar price, with cloud servers you will receive more resources and your server will be faster. In web hosting terms, your site will run faster on a cloud hosting server if you compare it to a traditional server with similar price.
    In this regard we should also mention that cloud servers scale very well. It is very easy and fast to add upgrades(CPU, Memory, disk space) to a cloud server just as it is more affordable, of course.

That’s why cloud servers are very popular and sometimes preferred to the traditional dedicated servers. This is true especially for the low to mid-level servers where they excel in all aspects.

Faster Service
For most people what is in short supply is time. On this point a cloud server scores above dedicated servers. Dedicated servers are not ready-made but need to be configured-an activity that calls for time and advanced computing skills. Cloud storage on the other hand comes with a ready-to-use advantage and what’s more there are numerous options to pick and choose from.  People for whom time is scarce will naturally opt for a cloud server.

Security 
 VPS accounts are insulated from each other, greatly minimizing the risk of unauthorized access from hackers. Cloud Server provide the highest level of security just like a dedicated server, complete with customizable firewall protection and secure isolated disk space along with the benefit of sharing the cost of the server with other users yet reaping the benefits of the dedicated server.

Performance 
 All resources can be regulated in the Cloud Server environment. One customer can not run away with a large share of the resources. Your service will run reliably and predictably.

Control
 Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are designed for the customer looking for more control than a shared web hosting account but yet not ready for a dedicated server. These private servers include root access, guaranteed resources, and technical support. Unlike a shared server, Cloud Server allows you the control of the server. You can choose the software you want to install, RAM, processor etc.

Scalability
Another point of contention between the two is the point of scalability. Scalability can be vertical where hardware is added. It could be horizontal where network is joined to even out the load. Cloud servers which are virtual server have the advantage of scaling fast. Dedicated servers can consume time because the creation of back up takes time.

Then there is the question of reliability. There are many opinions regarding this. Some swear by cloud servers whereas the advocates of dedicated servers favor them. What matters here is how good the provider of the service is. Both cloud storage and dedicated server hosting are comparable in this aspect but the provider can make or mar the service.

Cloud servers face immense pressure as the number of clients can balloon and go out of control. But that does not happen in dedicated servers as the numbers are manageable. The management of virtual servers take on more customers than they can handle and are found wanting in crunch situations.

Low Cost
 The VPS hosting model suits small and medium companies that are looking for performance better than that offered by shared hosting, yet without the higher costs of collocation. A Cloud Server provides the features of a dedicated server on a machine that is a shared hardware environment. Customers get full server capabilities that are similar to dedicated physical server environment without sacrificing privacy or performance that too on a much lower cost as compared to having a dedicated server.

Both these have individual advantages and it is difficult to say that one is better affirmatively.  This is perhaps the reason why many are going for hybrid systems that combine the benefits of the two without most of their drawbacks.
Cloud hosting works well for entrepreneurs who have businesses that are growing fast! It is a flexible system and can be upgraded fast. Cloud hosting is the latest in a growing and fast changing field. Until the next entrant comes in and proves to be better, cloud is the current favorite among large users.
