Cloud Servers work exactly like physical servers and perform similar tasks however, they run in a cloud computing environment that can be accessed anytime, anywhere by selected users.
Store data and run applications similar to how you would with a physical server, but now your server can be accessed remotely. This enables your business to share memory and processing power, while the remote access also means that Cloud Servers are generally more stable and secure compared to traditional options

A physical, traditional server is usually hosted in one location and can normally only be accessed by people at that location. In contrast, Cloud Servers are hosted in the cloud and can typically be accessed from anywhere remotely.
Cloud Servers deliver processing power, applications, and storage and have all the software needed already built in so there’s no need to worry about upgrading it. Unlike traditional servers, cloud hosting offers unlimited computing capacity and are delivered over a network rather than set up and managed on-site.
Cloud servers are virtual servers that run in a cloud computing environment, providing scalable and flexible computing resources on-demand. Unlike traditional physical servers, cloud servers are hosted in data centers managed by cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. These servers can be easily configured, scaled, and managed remotely, allowing businesses to quickly adjust their computing power and storage based on their needs.
Cloud servers offer high availability, redundancy, and cost efficiency, as users typically pay only for the resources they consume. This makes them an ideal solution for modern applications, data storage, and business operations requiring agility and reliability.
Choosing a Cloud Server for your business offers the following benefits:
- Scalability: Easy for you to upgrade your memory or space to support more users, allowing you to grow your server at the same rate as your business.
- Security: Not vulnerable to overloads from too many users and all updates are handled outside of your local environment, leaving you free to work whilst it’s done in the background.
- Flexibility: Your employees can access the same server from different locations, making it easy to operate flexibly.
How does a Cloud Server differ from a traditional server?
Unlike traditional servers that rely on physical hardware a Cloud Server operates in a virtualised environment. They offer greater scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency allowing users to adjust resources based on their needs.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my Cloud Server resources?
Yes, Cloud Servers are highly scalable. Users can easily upgrade or downgrade their resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage to accommodate changing requirements.
How quickly can I deploy a Cloud Server?
A Cloud Server can be provisioned quickly often within minutes. The exact deployment time may vary depending on the complexity of the server configuration.
