Cloud server is a new kind of server, which is dominating the old-fashioned 
servers (dedicated servers and shared servers) these days. Cloud servers 
are becoming more popular nowadays because of some key benefits it is 
offering to the users which are not there in our old traditional servers.
Previously, organizations used traditional dedicated servers or shared 
servers. These servers helped many organizations in many ways before the 
cloud servers came. But, there are some challenges in traditional servers that 
made businesses incline towards cloud servers.
Challenges in traditional servers
Dedicated servers are the physical servers owned by the organization and 
used by them to the fullest. Some drawbacks of dedicated servers are they 
are very expensive, and installing it is a time-consuming process. Dedicated 
servers must be chosen in such a manner that it falls within the budget and 
provides all the resources required by the organization.
Shared servers are the servers which are shared by many organizations or 
the server which serves many clients at the same time. Some drawbacks of 
shared servers are flow of traffic is high and workload on the server is very 
high which reduces the performance of the services.
Cloud server overcomes all these drawbacks. It is a virtual server that is 
available on cloud and is more flexible and scalable. When the demand for 
the cloud server increases, the service providers automatically increases the 
capacity of the server. Users can use whatever resources they need and pay 
for them via flexible payment methods (pay-per-use, etc.) Hence, cloud 
servers are comparatively cheaper.
Benefits of cloud server
Cloud servers are easy to set-up or install.
There are many servers available on the cloud and the best thing about cloud 
hosting is, it allocates separate server for every user. Cloud also offer server 
redundancy. This means if in any case the server crashes or fails to function, 
the cloud service provider allocates another server automatically. With this, 
the functionality of client’s business is not affected and their business runs 
smoothly.
Cloud servers are available to the clients from anywhere and from any 
hardware device provided the device have internet connectivity. These 
devices can be computer, laptop, smartphones, etc.
Cloud servers provide storage services to the users. Organizations can store 
all their information on the cloud and retrieve them whenever necessary.

the technical maintenance of the business and make it more easy, cheap ad
