Cloud is a server, a virtual machine that the user will have in his name and all the resources of this server will be the user’s, to use as needed. These resources do not have any kind of limitation, as it was in the old WordPress, where the amount of simultaneous access was limited to 50 per website. Now, as the user owns a server, the limitation of how many people will access the website or store, will depend on the server supporting this amount of accesses.
To create a site or store, you need to hire a server/cloud. You can create the server during the creation of the site/store or directly in the “Clouds” section, which we will look at now.
- Open your WordPress Pro. On the left menu, click on “Clouds”;

9. Here the user can check how much the processor and memory has been used in the last hour. Next to it, it shows the storage capacity of the disk, with information from the operating system, backups, stores, websites, etc;
10. The server needs an operating system, and here Debian (Linux system) is used, which takes up 22% of the HD. Automatically, when creating a cloud, the database is also created and takes up 2% of the disk space. Remember that the user will have access to the database, but we suggest that only those users who have advanced knowledge of databases should access it. Here you can upgrade your server plan as well. Just click on the button;
