## What is ClearML Server?
The **ClearML Server** is the backend service infrastructure for **ClearML**. It allows multiple users to collaborate and manage their experiments by working seamlessly with the **ClearML Python Package** and [**ClearML Agent**](clearml_agent.md). **ClearML Server** is composed of the following:
* Web server including the **ClearML Web UI**, which is the user interface for tracking, comparing, and managing experiments.
* API server which a RESTful API for:
* Documenting and logging experiments, including information, statistics, and results.
* Querying experiments history, logs, and results.
* File server which stores media and models making them easily accessible using the **ClearML Web UI**.
The [**ClearML Hosted Service**](https://app.community.clear.ml) is essentially the **ClearML Server** maintained for you.

**ClearML Web UI** is the **ClearML** user interface and is part of **ClearML Server**.
Use the **ClearML Web UI** to:
* Track experiments
* Compare experiments
* Manage experiments
For detailed information about the **ClearML Web UI**, see [User Interface](../webapp/webapp_home.md).
ClearML Server also comes with a [services agent](../clearml_agent.md#services-mode) preinstalled.
## Deployment
The **ClearML Server** can be deployed in any of the formats listed below. Once deployed, configure the server for web login
authentication, sub-domains, and load balancers, and use any of its many configuration settings.
**To deploy your own ClearML Server:**
1. Deploy ``clearml-server`` using any of the available formats, which include:
* Pre-built [AWS EC2 AMIs](clearml_server_aws_ec2_ami.md)
* Pre-built [Google Cloud Platform custom images](clearml_server_gcp.md)
* Pre-built Docker images for [Linux](clearml_server_linux_mac.md), [macOS](clearml_server_linux_mac.md), and
[Windows 10](clearml_server_win.md)
* [Kubernetes using Helm](clearml_server_kubernetes_helm.md)
1. Optionally, [configure ClearML Server](clearml_server_config.md) for additional features, including sub-domains and load balancers,
web login authentication, and the non-responsive task watchdog.
