Some providers combine these services \u2013 and others offer them independent of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>What is SaaS?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With SaaS (software-as-a-service), software is hosted on a remote server and customers can access it anytime, anywhere, from a Web browser or API.

With PaaS, developers can choose the features and cloud services they want on a subscription or pay-per-use basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>What is IaaS?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) lets companies \u201crent\u201d computing resources such as servers, networks, storage, and operating systems on a pay-per-use basis. The infrastructure scales \u2013 and customers don\u2019t have to invest in the hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>IaaS vs. PaaS vs. SaaS<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS and find out what you can expect from each \u201cas-a-service\u201d model.
