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.
