How can I speed up rendering on a cloud server?

Question

Blender

Good day to all.
Tried installing blender 2.6.9 on selectel cloud server Server
config:
Ubuntu 12.04 / CPU: Xeon E5-2630 / RAM Memory-on-Demand
Tested on a project with 255.000 faces using Cycles, rendering took 25 minutes.
For comparison, I tried to run the same project on a laptop,
Ubuntu 12.04 / Core i7 / 8192 gb RAM configuration, the
render took 20 minutes without using the GPU.
Tell me, how can I speed up rendering on cloud hosting, what important points am I missing? If the selected configuration (suitable for a web server) is completely alien to working with 3D graphics, advise in which direction should I think?

Answer 1

You need a cloud render farm, not a regular server. Such as render.st

Answer 2

Hi,
I agree with @AMarenko's answer: you definitely need a cloud rendering service and not a backend server, then you can focus on your work and not technical stuff.

Answer 3

If something can be done with CSS, then it should be done with CSS.
But for general development:

.block {
    background: #fff;
}
.color1 {
    background: #000;
}

var block = document.querySelector('.block');

block.addEventListener('mouseenter', function () {
    block.classList.add('color1');
});
block.addEventListener('mouseleave', function () {
    block.classList.remove('color1');
});

"Is it even worth bothering with JS when you can do it with CSS?"
no, it's not worth it

document.getElementById("somediv").onmouseover = function() {
    this.style.backgroundColor = "green";
}

There is no point in messing around.
