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.

Can I upgrade my Cloud Server plan later in the future?

Absolutely, you can upgrade your Cloud Server plan as your needs evolve. Our flexible infrastructure allows seamless plan upgrades. Whether you require more resources, enhanced performance, or additional features, transitioning to a higher-tier plan is simple and hassle-free. We're here to accommodate your growth and ensure your Cloud Server aligns perfectly with your requirements.

Is my Cloud Server IP address shared with others?

No, your Cloud Server IP address is not shared with others. Each Cloud Server is assigned a unique IP address, ensuring isolation and privacy. This enhances security and prevents interference with other users, providing you with dedicated resources and a secure online environment.
