Getting Started
Getting started is an easy 3 step process
Step One: Build your Cloud Server
Pull out your credit card, pick your server size and click Build. It's that simple. Not sure what size server you need? Don't worry you can start small and upgrade in the future.
Step Two: Do your thing
Ruby on Rails. Python and Django. PHP, Java and more - it's your call. How about an application server? Apache, Mysql, Mongrel - Cloud Servers can run anything you need.
Step Three: Save the day
Our cloud turns you into a superhero. Need a bigger server? Hit the upgrade button and resize instantly. Want to add servers based on demand? Use our REST based APIs to build servers on the fly. High availability and failover? Design your solutions using our shared IP settings. Cloud Servers solves your problems, magically.
