What is dynamic cloud server hosting from 1&1?

Dynamic cloud server hosting from 1&1 puts you in control – giving you the opportunity to design and build a cloud server to your exact specifications. This means that you'll get all the professional features you need, without having to pay for those that you don't. Cloud web hosting is extremely versatile and gives you intuitive configuration options that allow your website or application to grow naturally. What's more, with our easy to use configuration wizard and cloud server pricing structure, you can build the perfect package in no time at all.

Upon entering the configuration wizard, you will be presented with a choice of the latest processors, memory and storage options. These range from the minimum 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM and 100 GB HDD space, to the maximum 8 vCores, 32 GB RAM and a generous 800 GB HDD space. At this point you will also be able to choose from a selection of Windows or Linux cloud server operating systems depending on your particular requirements. Finally, to ensure complete price transparency, the cost of your cloud web hosting configuration is displayed in both per month and per hour formats.

What does cloud web hosting from 1&1 cost?

The beauty of dynamic cloud servers is that you can spend as much, or as little, as you like and still enjoy the very best in technology, services and utilities. 1&1 offers the option of choosing between two basic packages from which to build the best cloud server solution for your needs.

Our Flex package does not tie you to any lengthy contract period – meaning you have ultimate freedom to manage your additional cloud web hosting features as you see fit. However, the 1&1 Advantage plan has a competitive price plan, and offers 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM and 100 GB HDD as standard, allowing you to build your cloud server hosting package from there. This option is good for web designers, who require more design freedom alongside increased security and cost effectiveness.

Another great feature of dynamic cloud servers is that you are free to either increase or decrease your services and capacity at any time. This ensures ultimate flexibility within your cloud server hosting package – helping you to keep down costs without compromising the functionality and accessibility of your website.

Is it easy to upgrade my 1&1 cloud servers?

Upgrading your 1&1 Dynamic Cloud Server couldn't be easier, and 1&1 is here to guide you every step of the way. As your website grows and becomes more successful, you can easily upgrade any number of features to ensure that your users experience uninterrupted access and full functionality at all times. What's more, with the 1&1 mobile app, you can configure your cloud website hosting package whilst on the move – giving you unparalleled control wherever you may be.

Alongside our simple configuration tools, 1&1 also offers a comprehensive range of additional features and utilities to help you get the most from your cloud server hosting package. Professional backup solutions complement a range of third party anti-virus applications that provide you with greater levels of security. FTP storage is also available as an option within your cloud web hosting package and allows you to store your backups. Both Microsoft® Exchange and 1&1 MailXchange can be added to help you manage your e-mails. Finally, all exchanges of personal data can be handled securely with the server cloud optional SSL certificate from 1&1 – this secures sensitive information such as bank details and provides your customers with an increased sense of safety.

Is my data safe with 1&1 dynamic cloud servers?

1&1 is committed to the continued security of your data and provides a multi-layered security service to ensure you receive maximum uptime and performance. Our data centres are among the safest in Europe and offer redundant external connectivity at 280 Gbit/s – perfect for efficient and secure cloud servers. All of your data is stored within our state-of-the-art data centres and protected by an external Cisco-based IP firewall – this means that your cloud server is safe from external threats and viruses.

Alongside these features 1&1 also provides the snapshot tool that allows you to capture the entire configuration of your cloud servers and create restore points for you to return to in the event of any problems. This is a quick and efficient method of ensuring the continuous uptime of your websites regardless of any issues that may arise. Optional professional backups give your data further security and the flexible nature of our cloud servers will ensure you never run out of space for new data. Finally, with a continuous commitment to excellence, 1&1 offers the very best cloud server hosting in the industry.
