cloud provider

Remote server company

A cloud provider is a company that offers computing resources—servers, storage, databases, networking—over the internet rather than through physical hardware you own.

Major cloud providers include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Businesses pay for what they use instead of maintaining their own data centers: We're migrating everything to a new cloud provider.
