What is a cloud server?

What a cloud server is, how it differs from VPS and dedicated, and when to choose it.

What is a cloud server?

A cloud server runs on virtualized infrastructure made of several physical servers. Resources (CPU, RAM, disk) are drawn from a pool and scale quickly. A Private Cloud is an isolated cloud platform just for you, with no neighbours.

Cloud server advantages

  • Flexible scaling — resources change quickly.
  • Reliability — if a node fails, load moves to another.
  • Isolation (Private Cloud) — no overcommit, guaranteed resources.
  • Predictable cost — fixed traffic price, no licensing fees.
