Deploying a traditional dedicated server is a time-consuming process. The hardware needs to be ordered and/or assembled then racked and hooked up to the network. Then you need to install the operating system, perform system upgrades and tweak the settings. This is a process that can easily take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

With the BuyHTTP cloud, you can quickly and easily scale your server vertically. If you ever need more CPU, RAM or storage for your cloud server, just click a few buttons in our easy-to-use control panel and your server is updated quickly.

Vertical scaling with a traditional dedicated server is time-consuming and can be very challenging. Any upgrade to a server requires either downtime or building a brand new server, or both. If you build a new server you need to go through the full setup process again, test your site on the server, and hope that you catch all of the errors that often pop up during server migrations.

With the BuyHTTP cloud, you can scale your hosting horizontally with great ease. If you want to setup a load-balanced system, it's extremely easy with our templating system. Use your existing cloud server to create a template, then use that template to create multiple cloud servers for easy load balancing. You can also use templating to setup a test environment of your site so you don't need to try changes on a production site.

Horizontal scaling with traditional dedicated servers involves several steps. First you need to setup new servers and make sure the software settings on all of them are identical. Then you need to copy your site to all of the new servers. This is a time-consuming process that can also be very expensive with the setup and monthly fees of servers you might not need all the time.
