How Cloud Servers work
Cloud Server sizes are measured by the amount of physical memory reserved for your instance and range from 256 MB up to 30.0 GB.
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. View the full list of operating systems we have available.
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.
