Bare-Metal vs Cloud: When to Choose Which

One of the most common questions we get is: should I choose bare-metal or cloud? The answer depends on your workload.

Choose Bare-Metal When

You need consistent, predictable performance without the "noisy neighbour" problem. Bare-metal gives you the entire physical server — all CPU cores, all RAM, all disk I/O. Ideal for databases, game servers, video encoding, and ML inference workloads.

Choose Cloud When

You need to scale quickly, run multiple small services, or want the flexibility to resize on demand. Cloud instances deploy in seconds and can be destroyed just as fast.
