# Server (VPC) overview

Available in VPC

Server is a NAVER Cloud Platform service that helps you create, scale, operate, and manage servers in a cloud environment. Server provides APIs for servers, storage, snapshots, public IP, init scripts, network interfaces, access control group (ACG), and Fabric cluster features in RESTful form.

## Common Server settings

The following describes commonly used request and response formats in Server APIs.

### Request

The following describes the common request format.

#### API URL

The request API URL is as follows:

```
https://ncloud.apigw.ntruss.com
```

### Request headers

The following describes the request headers.

| Field | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `x-ncp-apigw-timestamp` | Required | This is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. - Request is considered invalid if the timestamp differs from the current time by more than 5 minutes. - Unix timestamp format. |
| `x-ncp-iam-access-key` | Required | Access key issued on NAVER Cloud Platform - Issue and check access key: See [Create authentication key](/docs/en/common-ncpapi). - Issue and check access key for sub account: See [Create sub account](https://guide.ncloud-docs.com/docs/en/subaccount-use#%EC%84%9C%EB%B8%8C-%EA%B3%84%EC%A0%95-%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1). |
