About the Product

Cloud Servers are virtual instances which offer a great deal of flexibility. There are no resource limitations on the underlying infrastructure, thus cloud servers can be scaled easily and without performance losses. In combination with root access, every customer can use their cloud server infrastructure according to their individual needs.

More about Unmanaged Servers
Root Server
Root Servers are usually referred to as the root name servers, which ensure that internet addresses can be translated into IP addresses in word form via the DNS. Without Root Servers, internet addresses as we use them today would not be possible. Root Servers are responsible for ensuring that the assignment of IP addresses to web addresses is successful.

In principle, the Root Server only manages a single file. It contains all the information required for the Domain Name System (DNS) to function. The root server permanently evaluates the stored file using a fixed hierarchy and assigns top-level domains to their IP addresses. It responds to requests for a top-level domain if the name server does not respond.
Cloud Server
A Cloud Server is a centralised server resource pool that is hosted and provided via a network – usually the internet – and can be accessed by multiple users on an as-needed basis. Cloud Servers can perform the same functions as conventional physical servers and provide processing power, storage and applications. 

Cloud Servers can be located anywhere in the world and provide services remotely via a cloud computing environment. In contrast, traditional dedicated server hardware is usually set up on-premises for exclusive use by a company.
