LayerStack’s Cloud Servers give you secure, fast, and virtually limitless data access for your needs – however unique they may be. Take advantage of the superlative flexibility and scalability our server options offer and be inspired by the endless possibilities that they bring.
Each server plan varies in the amount of allocated resources, and hence its ability to tackle specific kinds of workloads. This page offers an in-depth look at the difference between each server type, the distinction between a and a , and a summary of our plans and their use cases, so you can pick a solution that works best for you.
Your needs may change over time, and we are here to make upscaling as seamless and easy as it can be. At any time of a service period, you can initiate an upgrade in the LayerPanel by choosing your desired plan. The upgrade is instant once the payment is confirmed, or you have an option to schedule the upgrade for a later date. The upgraded service in the rest of the billing cycle is charged on a pro-rata basis.
Bandwidth is the volume of data that the network can handle. The more the bandwidth, the more data can be transferred over a certain period of time, both to and from LayerStack’s data centers around the world.
With LayerStack, you have two bandwidth options – shared bandwidth and dedicated bandwidth.
Just like when you pick a shared CPU plan, you may still enjoy the benefit of full bandwidth when your neighbors are inactive.
Plans with dedicated bandwidth offer bandwidth that is reserved exclusively for your use with guaranteed network speed and stability for a small additional cost.
All LayerStack cloud packages offer unlimited data transfer under the “Fair Use Policy”. When your monthly data usage reaches the data capacity stated in each service plan, the cloud service continues but at a reduced bandwidth, hence a slower connection speed. This is to avoid service downtime and unwelcome surprises on your bills while maintaining a satisfactory level of network stability for all users. You can keep track of your data usage in LayerPanel. Remember, you always have the option of moving to a plan with a larger data capacity at any time. Data transfer between cloud servers over the private VLAN is unlimited and not charge
Very similar to the distinction between and , shared bandwidth is where you split the bandwidth – and the cost – with other users, making it a more economic choice.
