Everything you need to know about the cloud

Seeds are virtual servers (also called cloud servers, VPS, or VMs) in our dataforest Cloud. They function like standalone servers – without you having to manage physical hardware. With Seeds, you get full control over operating system, applications, and configurations, while we take care of the underlying infrastructure.

Seeds provide the ideal infrastructure for a wide variety of use cases. They can be flexibly scaled and adapted to your specific requirements, whether for small projects or complex enterprise applications.

  • Hosting websites, web applications, and e-commerce platforms with optimal performance
  • Operating databases, containerized applications, and complex microservices
  • Development environments, CI/CD pipelines, and test infrastructures for agile teams

The Cloud offers numerous benefits such as cost savings (no investment in hardware), flexibility (pay-as-you-grow), scalability (easy adjustment to growing requirements), and increased security (physical unauthorized access in high-security data centers is practically impossible compared to company-owned server rooms).
