Choosing a hosting plan is one of the decisions that shapes everything else about a website: speed, uptime, security, and how easily it scales later. Between Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Business Hosting, and AWS VPS, it's easy to default to whichever one sounds most familiar rather than the one that actually fits.
Cloudy24 offers all four, so here's how they differ and which one tends to fit which situation.
Shared hosting: affordable and beginner-friendly
For a personal blog, a small website, or a hobby project, Shared Hosting is the most budget-friendly option. Multiple websites share resources on the same server, which keeps costs low while still delivering solid performance for lighter traffic.
Best for: personal blogs, small websites, students and hobby projects.
Cloudy24's shared plans include free SSL, one-click installs, and 24/7 support. See cloudy24.com/web-hosting for current plans and pricing.
WordPress hosting: built for speed and security
WordPress powers a large share of the web, and Cloudy24's WordPress Hosting is tuned specifically for it, with faster load times, stronger default security, and automatic updates, so day-to-day maintenance stays out of the way.
Best for: bloggers, content creators, and small businesses running WordPress sites.
Plans include a pre-configured WordPress install, daily backups, and malware protection. Details at cloudy24.com/wordpress-hosting.
Business hosting: more resources for growing sites
As a website grows, so do its hosting needs. Business Hosting sits between Shared and AWS VPS: more CPU and RAM than shared hosting, with better scalability and security, without the complexity of managing a VPS directly.
Best for: e-commerce stores, agencies and freelancers, and higher-traffic business websites.
Plans include dedicated resources and priority support. Details at cloudy24.com/business-hosting.
AWS VPS hosting: cloud infrastructure, fully managed
For sites that need more performance and flexibility than shared or business hosting can offer, Cloudy24's AWS VPS hosting runs on Amazon Web Services infrastructure with full root access, managed by Cloudy24's team rather than left entirely to you.
Best for: tech startups, developers, and enterprises that need to scale.

How much does AWS web hosting cost, and is it better than regular web hosting? Cloudy24's managed AWS VPS plans start from ₹599/month, running on EC2 in the Mumbai region. Whether it's better than shared or business hosting depends on the workload: AWS suits sites that need root access, custom scaling, or infrastructure control, while shared and business hosting cover most sites without that added cost or complexity.
Why this matters beyond the feature list
A few things hold across all four plans:
- 99.9% uptime SLA on shared, WordPress, and Business hosting plans (99.99% on AWS hosting)
- Firewalls, SSL, and proactive monitoring on every plan
- 24/7 support from Cloudy24's own team, not a third-party call centre
- A plan structure that scales from a simple blog to enterprise-level infrastructure

Which one actually fits
Shared hosting covers a first website. WordPress hosting fits once WordPress is specifically the platform. Business hosting makes sense once traffic or resource needs outgrow shared hosting. AWS VPS hosting fits once a site or application needs infrastructure control that none of the other three provide.
