Cloud Server Questions

Cloud Server FAQ

Answers to the questions we get most often about cloud servers, cloud hosting and virtual server solutions.

A cloud server is a virtual server in a cloud environment. Unlike a traditional dedicated server, it provides scalable CPU, RAM, and storage over the internet, so you can adjust resources to your needs and pay only for what you use.

Virtualization partitions powerful physical servers into isolated virtual environments. Each server runs its own operating system and dedicated resources, while the infrastructure distributes resources, provides redundancy, and maintains high availability.

Benefits include instant deployment, scalable resources, pay-as-you-go pricing, high availability, automated backups, disaster recovery, global access, and no hardware maintenance.

Pricing varies by resources. Cloud VPS plans start at €9.99/month for 1 CPU core, 2GB RAM, and 20GB SSD storage; larger and custom configurations are available.

It depends on the workload. Cloud servers offer scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency for changing workloads. Dedicated servers provide maximum performance and control for resource-intensive applications.

Yes. CPU, RAM, and storage can be upgraded at any time through the control panel or API. Most changes take effect immediately without a restart.
