An application server is very similar to our Cloud VM plus the added functionality to install, configure and manage one or more applications on top. Applications are dynamic no more manual installs 7 updates. Once your server is provisioned you can choose which applications to be installed from the large selection of popular applications.

Key benefit of an application server is that you can view, create and delete applications through the control panel as well as automatic backup / restore of applications and any databases associated with them.
