How does VaaS compare to the ITSC iHost service?

The iHost Service is a shared web hosting service. ITSC will keep offering the service free.

All users of the iHost Service share the same list of software, e.g. Apache 2.1 and PHP 4.2, pre-installed on the system and the software cannot be changed easily. In addition, resources like CPU time and memory are equally shared by all users.

VaaS, on the other hand, provides flexibility and choices. User has full control of a rented virtual server and is free to install any software. More resources can be purchased as demand increases.
