What is a cloud VPS server?
More specifically, Cloud Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a Cosyhost virtual machine that shares hardware and network resources with other cloud VPS servers just like a standard virtual machine from most cloud service providers.
How can I get cloud VPS servers?
Cloud VPS servers are provided by a fully automated hosting system that performs a multi-step server provisioning process to ensure you have a clean and secure server whenever you need it. Cosyhost Cloud VPS servers will be deployed within 2 to 10 minutes.
Cloud VPS servers are billed hourly or fixed-time with monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual billing cycles. You can order Smart VPS servers through the customer portal or automate provisioning through the Cosyhost Servers API.
How can I scale my Cloud VPS server?
Cloud VPS servers can scale to higher speed at any time without losing data stored on that server. There is little downtime when you move your cloud VPS plan to the next level. Downtime depends on the amount of data stored on the server and is approximately 1 minute per GB.
