Most of the web applications are hosting by cloud due to low cost and low infrastructure setup is required. In continue to this, user no need to maintain the infrastructure by their own. In this paper, both the technology, self-web-hosting, and cloud-web-hosting are compared based on different security parameters like key generation (PKI), automatic authentication and protection of intra-tenant networks, secure logging system events, spam filtering, CAPTCHA generation and authentication, and software widgets such as password metering. These parameters are classified into seven categories and the review has been conducted based on these categories. The bibliometric analysis has been conducted where ever more than 70 research found in Web-of-Science (WoS) database through bibliometric library and biblioshine package in R programming. The outcome of this analysis is presented in tabular form, and open challenges of both the technologies are discussed in details with proposed solutions.
