Cloud ServerVirtual servers you create in the panel and pay for hourly
Bare Metal gives you an entire physical server without sharing it. It suits workloads requiring high performance or complete isolation.
Exact CPU, memory and disk specifications are shown in the offer when you order.
If your application runs comfortably on a cloud server, that is the simpler choice. Choose a dedicated server when you need an entire physical machine.
