Skyline Cloud servers are virtual servers with root access that you create in the console in a few minutes of choices: region, operating system, size, login and name. "Riyadh" server plans run inside the Kingdom; other plans, and GPU servers, run outside the Kingdom, and the console marks every region clearly before you pay. Servers are paid from the prepaid wallet in Saudi riyals. Backup of a server is a paid add-on.
| What it is | Cloud servers: virtual machines with your choice of operating system and full root access. GPU servers: servers with a graphics card for AI and rendering work, rented by the hour. |
|---|---|
| Who it is for | Developers and IT teams who need their own server for applications, databases or websites, and teams that need GPU power for a limited time. |
| What it does | Creates servers in regions inside or outside the Kingdom; offers ready apps such as WordPress, Docker and n8n; logs you in by SSH key, password or both; includes a public IPv4 address and a private network; applies a firewall that starts as SSH only; manages SSH keys and networking in the console; raises alerts when a server could not be created or was stopped for an unpaid bill. |
| What it does not do | Skyline does not administer the software inside your server: updates, security and backups of what you install are yours, unless you add a service for them. Not every plan is in Saudi Arabia: plans outside the Kingdom and GPU servers do not keep data in the Kingdom. A signup bonus cannot pay for servers. |
| Where it runs | "Riyadh" server plans run in Riyadh, in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Riyadh region. Other server plans and GPU servers run outside the Kingdom, in the region shown when you create them. |
| How to start | Top up the wallet, select Create → Create instance, make the five choices and select Create server. For GPU servers open GPU Servers in the console menu. |
