How it Works

Select a Size for Your Cloud Server
Cloud Server sizes are measured by the amount of physical memory reserved for your instance and range from 256 MB up to 15.5 GB.

Select Your Operating System
Choose from a variety of popular 64-bit Linux® Distributions—Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, CentOS, Fedora, Arch and Red Hat Enterprise Linux—or Windows® Images—Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003.

Your Server is Online in Just a Few Minutes
Using our online control panel and API, each Cloud Server can be upgraded or removed as your needs change.

Cloud Computing–Starting at $10.95/month or 1.5¢/hour

Pricing for Cloud Server starts at $10.95 per month or 1.5¢ per hour plus bandwidth. Since you can pay by the hour, it's really easy and affordable to spin up a new Cloud Server when you need the additional cloud computing power for testing or development–and then simply remove it when you're done. Get our full pricing details.

Scale Your Computing Power

If your site or application has big fluctuations in traffic or computing power needs – seasonal spikes around the holidays, for example – you can easily add more Cloud Servers™, and then remove them once the demand subsides.

Finally, Real SLAs For Cloud Computing

The SLA adopted for Cloud Servers™ is just as aggressive as the one Rackspace provides for traditional hosted servers. It provides remedies for any downtime event caused by the network, data center infrastructure, the physical host server, or the migration of your instance from one physical host to another (should that be required). Be sure to see our SLA in detail and take a look at how we fanatically support Cloud Servers™.
