Virtual Private Servers VPS on Public Cloud vs Private Cloud vs Colocation vs On-Prem – What’s Right for You?
For businesses running critical systems—whether a VPS or a full enterprise stack—choosing between Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Colocation, and On-Premises infrastructure can be tricky. This post looks at Virtual Private Servers (VPS) – What’s Right for You?
Public Cloud is flexible and scalable, but for many, the consumption-based pricing quickly becomes unsustainable. Costs creep up with every extra gigabyte, IOP, or support ticket—especially when running 24/7 workloads.
On-Prem gives you control, but comes with massive upfront costs, hardware maintenance, and limited scalability.
Colocation puts your kit in a data centre, but you’re still responsible for managing and maintaining it all. It’s infrastructure, not a service.
That’s where Managed Private Cloud comes in—a smart halfway house between the extremes. BlackBox Hosting Virtual Private Servers VPS outperform all public clouds.
