Cloud Server

Howdy,

I've come across the term "cloud server". Could I know the main difference between a cloud server and a traditional server. Is it easy to configure and maintain? Many thanks for any information in advance!

Kind regards

Newbie

A traditional server is a physical server either on premise or in a remote location that I maintain and manage.

A "Cloud Server" is typically a virtual managed server environment, that you rent from someone, and access via the Internet.
