What is a Cloud Server? Also known as a Virtual Server, is a server that is hardware independent, making them less susceptible to failure and thus more reliable. The server can move between physical servers whilst continuing to perform computing tasks. The physical servers can even be in separate locations - All our cloud servers are hosted in our UK Data Centre.

 

Using a Cloud Server has many advantages. Resources are used efficiently so reduce costs compared to a Physical Dedicated Server, and redundancy is high. Cloud (or Virtual) Servers are not tied to a single physical server, therefore if one physical machine fails, the virtual server can be transferred to another (physical server) automatically. Upgrades can be performed easily and quickly, all that is required is a reboot for additional resources to be made available. These days there are very few applications that don’t run well on a virtual platform, so if you need a Linux Server then our HA Cloud Servers are for you. 

We have servers running many services so there is a good chance we can help you with what you need. Here are some examples of services our servers run:

  • Databases including MS SQL and MySQL
  • Email Servers
  • Web Servers
  • VOIP systems
  • Document Management Systems
  • CRM or Customer Relationship Management Software
  • Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP
  • Backup Software
  • File Storage
  • Bespoke Software and Apps

​

Memory: Windows server require a minimum of 2Gb of RAM, the more you have the more your server will be able to juggle different tasks.

CPU Cores

The more CPU cores you have, the more number crunching your server will be capable of.

System Disk Size

Where the Operating System and your data is stored.

Second Disk Size

If you are old school and want to store your data on a separate drive.

IP Addresses

You can have more than one address on the internet, maybe for websites secured by a SSL certificate or maybe something even more techie.

Network Port Speed

If you need to transfer large amounts of data or even small amounts really fast then consider a faster port, we can go all the way up to 500Mbit.

Server OS Support

If you want us to manage updates and provide break/fix support for your Linux Operating System then you need to select this option. If you need out of hours Operating System Support please contact us to discuss further.

If you take the backup option, you will need to specify the amount of data to backup

Cloud servers are available on a monthly contract.​

A months notice is needed for any changes that you may need - Upgrades however, can be usually done much quicker.

Removing allocated disk space is not always possible.
