Cloud Sites Guide

Unlike traditional VPS hosting, Cloud Sites automatically handles the underlying infrastructure, OS patching, and load balancing, allowing you to focus entirely on your code and content.

Whether you are running a high-traffic WordPress blog on Linux or a complex .NET application on Windows, the Cloud Sites Control Panel provides a unified interface to manage it all. This guide serves as your central hub for mastering the platform, from launching your first site to configuring enterprise-grade database solutions.
