Cheap Cloud Server

 Are you looking for a high performance cloud server at the best price to host your site? If so, then you've come to the right place. 

In this article, I'll help you find the best inexpensive cloud server host and enjoy unlimited disk space and/or bandwidth.

What is cloud server?

The definition of a cloud server can be summarized as follows: 

Imagine being able to have a server in a few minutes, or update a server automatically, or even adapt the servers according to your needs at any time and in complete safety without loss of data.

Fully customizable, each cloud virtual server gives you root access. The price excl. tax/month depends on the size and the specifics of the server you are buying.

Based on Xen virtualization technology, Cloud Servers™ brings the power of the cloud to the basic model of traditional server hosting.

As is the case with a dedicated server, you have complete control over the various settings of your server. You can use it to accomplish whatever you want. Whether it is to host a site such as a high-traffic e-commerce store, or to run resource-intensive web applications built with Java or Ruby on Rails .

How does it work ?

In order to ensure high availability, any failure in a server will automatically trigger the use of one (or more) server(s) which will take over temporarily. They can be considered as backup servers providing the required resources to the failing server. The same process occurs in the case of overload conditions.

What is the difference between a cloud server and a dedicated server?

When buying a dedicated server , you must also commit to a contract for one year (or more), at a price that is often higher than other types of web hosting. Often, the price displayed is the price excl. VAT/month.

There is usually a delay between setting up the hardware and activating the hosting of your website on these servers. It is also difficult to change server specifications when your web hosting needs change. This forces you to buy another more powerful physical server to be able to meet the new requirements of your applications (resources, security...).

Unlike dedicated servers, cloud virtual servers can be deployed instantly. They are often accompanied by an easy-to-use control panel, a low price excl. tax/month and no obligation to commit to a long-term contract.

You can instantly adjust the resources (RAM and CPU) according to the data contained in your site. You will only pay for what your site actually uses. In addition, cloud computing technology provides you with greater uptime, and this may be the most determining factor for you to make your choice!

How do cloud servers differ from virtual private servers (VPS)?

Classic VPS hosts cut up dedicated servers to share them between customers. Generally hosts use container technology such as Virtuozzo .  

This allows users to be isolated from each other while running a single shared instance of the operating system. 

In contrast, the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology used on cloud servers, allows each user to run their own isolated copy of the operating system of their choice. This allows for higher performance, more configuration and strong security guarantees.

How to choose a cloud server?

Here are some recommendations to follow to find the best deal. 

1. Cost vs Technology vs Host

We have observed, or participated in, cloud server purchasing decisions for a few thousand customers. This ranges from small business owners having a website online for the first time to established platforms with tens of millions of visits every day.

While each of these buyers had different requirements and priorities, a few deciding factors were shared by them:

• How much will it cost?
• Which configuration / technology is the best?
• Which host is the most reliable (data security, availability...)?

Every website administrator had to answer these three questions. While they seem simple enough, they end up overlapping. Therefore, the purchase decision starts to get a little complicated:

The natural assumption is that everyone will choose a virtual cloud server that falls into the “ sweet spot ”. Where the three circles overlap.

However, decisions for purchasing a cloud server are not made that way. Valid accommodation decisions can target all points on this graph.

Let's divide the diagram into a few distinct zones to see why a user would choose a cloud server in each zone:

Regardless of how you make an initial purchase decision for your next server, there's a new factor to consider:

You will probably want to evolve in the same place .

It can be difficult to switch between web hosts. Managing environments between multiple hosts is more difficult. Also, it will get more complicated if you want the cloud servers to work together all the time. They usually do this over the public internet, so you're not getting the best performance.

If you had to choose the area that best describes your purchasing decision, which would you choose?

What are the main advantages of a cloud server?

Cloud servers are very popular and sometimes preferred to the traditional dedicated physical server. Your choice may be influenced by one (or more) factor(s) that distinguishes the cloud server from other types of web hosting. We have listed these factors below so that you can make your choice very simply:

1. The freedom to modify all server software to suit your needs 

Thanks to its flexibility, the customization and administration of your web servers is done without the need for advanced technical knowledge. You can install different distributions of operating systems which is not always the case with other virtualization solutions such as virtual servers.

2. Data stability and security

Problems that may affect software are isolated to your hosting environment. You will be safe from all other affected servers and cannot harm others either.

Also, if other users overload their servers, it will have no impact on yours. Indeed, the resources are dedicated and the security of your server is 100% guaranteed.

3. Better stability / performance ratio

The cloud type server probably has the best stability / performance / cost ratio. All cloud servers are equipped with Cloud computing technology, ie they are stable, fast and secure.

4. More cost effective than a standard server

Businesses only pay for what they need. They thus reduce the expenses related to the maintenance of the hardware of the server.

For a price similar to that of VPS, you will receive more resources, and your server will be faster.

5. Guaranteed scalability

You can increase or decrease computing resources and storage to accommodate the needs of your website.

This is particularly useful for companies with fluctuating needs. This makes it very easy and quick to add more CPU, RAM memory or hard disks to a cloud server.

The system will be predictable and efficient in growing any web application. If one server can process 1000 transactions per second, two servers should be able to process 2000 transactions per second, and so on.

6. Optimal integration

A company's cloud servers are networked to ensure uninterrupted communication and rapid deployment. A "single pane" allows complete control. It is also possible to instill private databases and connect them to this same network.
