' Cloud ' is the short name of the cloud server. It is also called a virtual server. The virtual server is located on the Internet.

Program in the cloud

Placing a program in the cloud is available for any program. Although it will use the database, at least it will work without connecting to the database.

Disadvantages of a virtual server
