# What is Cloud HDD Plans?

| The Cloud HDD Plan is a cloud server solution that uses HDD (Hard Disk Drive) storage. It offers larger storage capacity at a more affordable price compared to SSD plans. This makes it an ideal choice for clients who need reliable cloud infrastructure without paying extra for high-speed performance.

✅ Key Features
The Cloud HDD Plan provides affordable high-capacity storage, allowing you to store more data for less cost. You can fully customize the server by choosing your preferred CPU, RAM, and HDD storage size. The resources are scalable and can be upgraded anytime as your requirements grow. This plan includes a 99.9% uptime guarantee to keep your websites and applications online, your data is securely hosted,, and 24/7 technical support from our team.

📂 When to Use Cloud HDD Plan
The Cloud HDD Plan is suitable if you need to store large files or backups, run non-critical workloads with moderate speed requirements, or set up test and development environments. It is also recommended if you want a instance that offers a lower monthly cost.

📈 Performance Notes
While HDD storage is reliable, it has slower read and write speeds compared to SSD storage. If you are running high-performance applications such as databases or e-commerce sites, we recommend choosing a Cloud SSD Plan instead.

✅ Supported Operating Systems
Our Cloud Plans support a wide range of operating systems. You can deploy your instances with popular Linux distributions such as CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux. In addition, various editions of Windows Server are also available.

All operating system options can be selected easily through our user-friendly control panel when you create your instance.
