Cloud Sites is used to quickly host very scalable and reliable websites.
Unlike traditional web hosting, this is not a massive amount of customers crammed on one server. Instead, it's a massive amount of servers that power each visit to your web site.
You'll want Cloud Sites if you're looking for web hosting without the hassles of managing a server or the poor performance and reliability common with virtual hosting.
Cloud Files is unlimited online storage for media, files, and backups.
If your web application needs a lot of storage for images or user-generated content, Cloud Files can store it all for pennies per gigabyte.
You'll want Cloud Files if you've ever asked yourself, "How are we going to store all that?" The best part is that you only pay for the online storage and bandwidth you are currently using. Cloud Files is big online storage without the big costs.
Cloud Servers allow technical users to get custom servers in minutes with full root access.
With Cloud Servers get what you want when you need it, Cloud servers are both instant and disposable. Make a new Server for staging and four new Servers for production. Delete one; create three more. You only pay for what's provisioned and Cloud Servers start at under 2 cents an hour!
