Cloud Server Hosting

A Cloud Server is a virtualized private server with dedicated resources. These resources include CPU Cores, RAM, Disk Space, and Network Port Speeds, and you are able to use them at any time, as they are fully dedicated to your server. Cloud Servers are more scalable than a Dedicated Server because resources can easily be added as you need them. Our Cloud Servers come with the Hostwinds Cloud Control Portal, which allows full access to a vast amount of management and customization tools. Our Cloud Servers are built with Enterprise Hardware on a redundant network boasting a 99.9999% uptime guarantee.

We will happily migrate your content from your previous provider on any new service ordered with Hostwinds. Simply submit a ticket requesting the migration and provide our migration experts with the required credentials to perform the transfer. We will review the migration and create a migration game-plan that is specifically tailored to your unique requirements. Upon completion of the migration, our quality assurance team will review every aspect to ensure that it is ready to be presented to you with the final outcome. Once approved by you, we will assist you with any necessary steps to finalize the completion of your migration to Hostwinds.

Root access is provided for any Hostwinds Linux Cloud Server, and full administrator access is provided for any Hostwinds Windows Cloud Server, both granting you full access to your server and the ability to configure it however you like. Hostwinds believes in providing you with as many options as possible, and, as such, we allow you to either fully customize your server right out of the box or simply get up and running with the Operating System installed for you.

We have built an incredibly user-friendly Cloud Control Portal to give our clients several tools to manage every aspect of their cloud server. This includes features such as DNS Management, Firewall Management, Volume Storage Management, creation of Snapshots, ability to deploy Load Balancers on demand, IPv4 and IPv6 Management, Object Storage containers, and a robust API.
