TOP TIP: We’d recommend using an Entry Level server for single service or role usage only. If your business is looking to host several applications, multi role servers would be best practice so as not to add to system and configuration complexity. We’ve investigated several key services and specified what server size is best for multi role purposes.
Easy to upgrade
Need more space? Cloud Server comes with flexible storage options meaning servers can be upgraded easily.
Predictable spend
A fixed monthly cost spreads the investment cost, moving capital expenses to operating expenses.
Data stored within the UK
Highly secure and safe data storage in a UK datacentre, that’s replicated three times locally within the same datacentre, for peace of mind.
Get your server up and running quicker
Get business applications up and running in a few hours with Cloud Server. No need to wait for on-site hardware or complex configurations for a faster time to market.
High Availability and Reliability
Receive a 99.9% uptime SLA within Microsoft’s Azure datacentres and, if an outage does occur, data will be easily accessible from a secondary UK datacentre.
Optional Daily Backups
With our Cloud Server add-ons, easily back up data and applications daily or choose to add a VPN for additional security. For ultimate security, choose both.
