A cloud server is a server that runs entirely online and gives you access to your applications and data wherever you are. This is often offered as a service, known as \u201cSoftware as a Service\u201d (SaaS). You use the software without worrying about the underlying hardware, because everything happens in the cloud.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition, you can also opt for a virtual server in the cloud. This means you have all the advantages of a physical server, such as full control and remote access, but without knowing on which hardware it runs. This falls under \u201cInfrastructure as a Service\u201d (IaaS).<\/p>

One of the biggest advantages of cloud servers is flexibility. You can easily add extra capacity when needed. You often only pay what you use. However, because cloud servers are accessible via the internet, it is important to take additional security measures to protect your data.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
