Frequently asked questions

What is a Cloud Server?

A cloud server is a virtualised computing resource that provides scalable and on-demand hosting services over the internet. It offers flexible resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and network connectivity. Unlike traditional physical servers, cloud servers can be quickly provisioned, resized, or scaled down as needed. They empower businesses and individuals to run applications, store data, and host websites efficiently and cost-effectively without the need for dedicated hardware.
