Easy to understand, explain what a cloud server is, and what are the differences and advantages from traditional servers.

Generally speaking, the server is a space where things can be stored. It can also be said that the server is a computer with higher performance and stronger computing power, and it is always turned on.

It is a kind of space because the server can store things. Servers are generally used to run projects, but they can also be used for many purposes, such as storing files as electronic archives, or deploying FTP as a hard disk in the cloud to upload and download files.

Why is the server a computer? In fact, it is a supercomputer. Computers are used for calculation. It can run software, store data and provide computing services. However, servers are usually used to provide computing and services. The reason is that our daily websites and mobile phone software need continuous access, or we need continuous access at any time. If it is just a computer, on the one hand, the heat dissipation ability is not good, on the other hand, continuous operation will shorten the life. The so-called industry has specialization, so the server is mainly used to run programs.

Professionally speaking, a server is a machine that provides services, how to provide services and what services to provide. The service here refers to all kinds of service software we use every day. For example, a website is a way to provide services, that is, first deploy the database of the website, run the container of the website, such as tomcat, website project, which is a war package in the case of java, and then provide services to the outside world.
