How It Works

Select a Size for Your Cloud Server
Cloud Server sizes are measured by the amount of physical memory reserved for your instance and range from 256 MB up to 30 GB. Note: Windows Cloud Servers cannot be resized down.

Select Your Operating System
Choose from a variety of popular 64-bit Linux® Distributions—Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, CentOS, Fedora, Arch and Red Hat Enterprise Linux—or Windows® Images—Windows Server 2008. You can also add a SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012 database to your Windows image.

Your Server is Online in Just a Few Minutes
Using our online control panel and API, each Cloud Server can be upgraded or removed as your needs change. You can even manage your Cloud Servers on-the-go via your iPhone®, iPad®®, iPod® touch and Android.

Penta Server Cloud Load Balancers allow you to quickly load balance multiple Cloud Servers™ for optimal resource utilization. Learn more about our cloud load balancing solution.

Let Us Manage Your Cloud Servers For You
In addition to features that Cloud Servers offers, you can also enjoy a level of managed service. This way you can manage your business, while we manage your cloud. Cloud Servers with a managed service level is ideal for any business or IT department that needs the on-demand availability, flexibility, and scalability of cloud computing, but doesn't have the in-house resources to manage it directly 24x7x365.

Finally, Real SLAs For Cloud Computing
The SLA adopted for Cloud Servers™ is just as aggressive as the one Penta Server provides for traditional hosted servers. It provides remedies for any downtime event caused by the network, data center infrastructure, the physical host server, or the migration of your instance from one physical host to another (should that be required). Be sure to see our SLA in detail and take a look at how we support Cloud Servers™.
