With 54-second or less provisioning, virtual instances can
be built, tested, cloned and re-provisioned almost instantly. Powered by a
simple, yet powerful API and easy-to-use user interface, Cloud Servers provide
developers complete control over their virtual instances and include concise
in-app documentation. Additionally, by featuring snapshots, users are allowed
to save their configurations and launch new servers with that image in seconds,
instead of starting from scratch.

Built on OpenStack
Inline with GoDaddy’s commitment to open source software,
the new Cloud Servers offering is built on OpenStack and powered by
purpose-built KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization. With SSDs (solid-state drives) across the
board, Cloud Servers offer excellent performance due to very fast I/O
(Input/Output).
