Cloud based server

Hello,

In this blog, I'm going to explain what is a Cloud based server.

    

What is a cloud server?

    Cloud servers are virtual (not physical) servers running in a cloud computing environment that can be accessed on demand by unlimited users.

    Cloud servers work just like physical servers and they perform similar functions like storing data and running applications. Cloud services are hosted by third-party providers, they deliver computing resources over a network, most often through the internet.

What's the difference between a cloud server and a traditional server?

    Cloud servers function similarly to traditional servers since they both deliver processing power, applications, and storage. However, since cloud servers are remotely accessed, they're generally more stable and secure than traditional servers.

    The primary difference between a cloud server and a traditional server is that a cloud server can be shared among many users over an accessible platform, often through a network such as the internet. A traditional (dedicated) server is only accessed by a given company or entity.

    Another difference between cloud servers versus physical servers is that cloud servers offers unlimited compute capacity, but physical servers are limited to their existing infrastructure or computing capacity.
