The next generation of virtual private servers, renamed to cloud servers, offer the same affordability and ease of management for you, with added granular scalability and full redundancy.
Storage Location
vexxCloud
Servers are stored on a redundant central iSCSI enterprise storage server with thousands of gigabytes of storage ready for instant use.
Virtual Server
Servers are stored on a RAID-10 array located on the same server. This limits the amount of resources that can be allocated to your server.
Storage Tolerance
vexxCloud
The central storage system can sustain at least 7 simultaneous drive failures (which is almost impossible) and any VPS node hardware failure doesn't bring your server down.
Virtual Server
All of your data would be lost if a total of two simultaneous hard drive failures occur, the array would be irrecoverable after. If any other hardware of the VPS node fails, the server goes down.
Server Scalability
vexxCloud
Ability to configure every aspect of your server without limitations, RAM can be upgraded with low storage. Any upgrades are instantly completed from an online control panel.
Virtual Server
There are a set of plans which are created by the hoster to fill their servers, not fulfill your needs. Therefore, you are forced to pay for more disk space if you need more RAM, etc.
High Availability
vexxCloud
Cloud servers have full redundancy. If the host server fails, the cloud server instantly restarts on a new host seconds after detecting a failure, effectively decreasing downtime and increasing redundancy.
Virtual Server
VPS servers have zero hardware redundancy. This mean if a main VPS host server fails, every VPS hosted under it will be down until the VPS host is successfully repaired and brought back online.
Server Pricing
vexxCloud
Cloud servers are much better priced. The ability to control specific resources and order specific amounts of disk space, CPU, bandwidth or RAM allows you to get the server you need for the best price.
Virtual Server
VPS servers tend to cost more due to plans. Service providers maintain a ratio of storage and RAM in order to fill their nodes. This makes it more expensive to acquire specific resources in a VPS.

Although I have been a client with vexxhost for a few months the support that I have received from them and the assistance and online help has been awesome to say the least, I have one site in particular which has OVER 70 active members and I do not have any worries in regards to data loss as vexxhost's backup systems and protocols in place allow for minimal data loss given any circumstances ie: poor management on my part or hacks, etc. On other peoples parts and so alike. I also wish to extend my thanks and gratitude to vexxhost and hope to continue a valued client and that you also will continue to be a valued host of my major site along with the rest of my sites hosted at vexxhost.
