Overview: What Is a Cloud Server and Cloud VPS?

What is a Cloud Server?

A Cloud Server is a virtual server that runs on a cloud computing infrastructure. Rather than relying on a single physical machine, a Cloud Server utilizes resources distributed across multiple physical servers within a cloud environment. This architecture offers high scalability, outstanding performance, and exceptional stability.

For SMEs, Cloud Servers are ideal when handling heavy workloads or complex applications such as SaaS platforms, Big Data solutions, or AI tools—where uptime and speed are business-critical.

What is a Cloud VPS?

A Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) is created by partitioning a single physical server into multiple independent virtual machines. Each Cloud VPS has its own operating system, root access, and dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, and Storage). However, since it relies on a single host server, performance may be limited compared to a Cloud Server.

Cloud VPS is often a cost-effective option for SMEs with basic needs such as small websites, email systems, or internal CRMs.
