From the command line, you'll find that Cloud Servers look and act much like the traditional servers you may be using now. However, some key technologies make Cloud Servers much more flexible than hardware devices.

The Virtualization Layer |
||
| Each Cloud Server is a virtual machine abstracted from the hardware. We use a software hypervisor with proven performance, reliability, scalability, and security. Launching a new Cloud Server happens in minutes since we only need to start up a virtual machine on already running hardware. Virtualization also allows Cloud Servers to be moved easily or even resized for more CPU and memory. | ||
CPU Bursting |
||
| All Cloud Servers come with a certain amount of guaranteed CPU power based on the size of the servers you create. However, at times when there's extra CPU power available from the host hardware, we take advantage of it, providing your workloads extra processing power without any additional cost to you. | ||
In-Place Resizing |
||
| Scaling up your Cloud Server is simple–you don't need to reinstall anything. With a simple phone call, your Cloud Server is momentarily taken offline, the RAM, disk space and CPU allotment are adjusted, and the server is restarted. The entire process is automated and takes just a few minutes. | ||
