Setting up your own cloud server brand on top of the 20iCloud infrastructure offers several advantages, especially when it comes to distinguishing your business in a competitive market. By creating your own brand with a unique name and logo, you can leverage the existing capabilities of major cloud infrastructure providers like 20iCloud, AWS, and Google Cloud, while adding a personal touch to your services.

There are several reasons why you may want to add your own brand to help your cloud server stand out in the market:

  • Brand Identity: Creating your own brand allows you to establish a distinct identity that customers can easily recognize and associate with your business. A unique brand name and logo can help create a memorable impression, which is critical in a crowded market.
  • Customization: By having your own brand, you can tailor your cloud server offerings to cater to specific customer needs and preferences. This may include custom features, pricing plans, and support services, enabling you to differentiate your brand from competitors.
  • Market Perception: With your own brand, you can position your cloud server as an independent and innovative solution, rather than just another reseller of existing services. This can help to build trust and credibility among customers, who may perceive your brand as more committed to their success.
  • Marketing and Promotion: Having a unique brand enables you to create and execute targeted marketing strategies that showcase the benefits and features of your cloud server offerings. This can help attract potential customers and generate more leads for your business.
  • Customer Loyalty: A strong brand can foster customer loyalty, as clients are more likely to stick with a service that they trust and identify with. By providing a personalized and consistent experience, you can build lasting relationships with your customers and encourage repeat business.

Adding your own brand to a cloud server built on top of the 20iCloud infrastructure can significantly enhance your market presence and visibility. It allows you to create a unique identity, customize your offerings, and execute targeted marketing strategies, ultimately helping you stand out from competitors and build lasting relationships with customers.

Steps to set up your own branded cloud server

To begin with, you will need to ensure that you have at least one card payment gateway setup before creating this branded cloud server. We recommend Stripe, as a payment gateway. You can learn how to set up Stripe as a payment gateway here.

From the Cloud Servers section of Hostshop, you can customise the branded name of your cloud server, alongside the different pricing instances and what regions are available. The product is not for sale by default, but that can be toggled on the righthand side.

In addition, you can also customise the Cloud Brand Logo. This logo will be displayed next to your Cloud Server product for potential customers to see.

This is what your customers will see upon navigating to the Cloud Server section of your online shop.
