Two tools you'll appreciate

Included with every server, at no extra cost.

Rescue mode included

Server won't boot, locked out by a firewall rule, kernel update gone wrong? Ask for rescue mode: our technicians restart your server on a minimal Linux loaded into memory over the network, and you reach your disks over SSH to repair or recover your data.

  • Fix the bootloader, fstab or kernel
  • Check disks and RAID: fsck, mdadm, SMART
  • Recover your files before a reinstall

Just ask our support team: our technicians enable it for you.

Ready for virtualization

All our Intel Xeon processors support hardware virtualization (VT-x and VT-d). Install Proxmox VE, XCP-ng or the hypervisor of your choice, then split your server into virtual machines and containers.

  • Proxmox VE (KVM and LXC), XCP-ng, KVM/libvirt…
  • Additional IP addresses for your virtual machines, billed monthly
  • Isolate your environments: production, staging, testing

Frequently asked questions

What is a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a physical machine rented to a single customer. Processor, memory, drives and bandwidth are reserved for you alone: no other site shares those resources, which guarantees consistent performance and full control of the configuration.

What does "unmanaged" mean?

Our servers are delivered unmanaged: we take care of the data center, network, DDoS protection, hardware replacement and operating system installation. You then run everything else with root access: updates, security, backups, applications. If you would rather delegate those tasks, pick a management plan while ordering.

What is rescue mode and how do I use it?

Rescue mode restarts your server on a minimal Linux system loaded into memory over the network. Your drives stay intact and reachable over SSH: you can fix a failed boot, correct a firewall rule or recover your files. Just ask our support team: our technicians enable it for you.

Can I virtualize my server with Proxmox?

Yes. All our Intel Xeon processors support hardware virtualization (VT-x and VT-d). You can install Proxmox VE, XCP-ng or another hypervisor, then create your virtual machines and containers. Your server includes one dedicated IPv4 address; plan for additional addresses, billed monthly, if your virtual machines need to be reachable from the Internet.

In which country will my server be hosted?

In France or Canada: you pick the country when you order.

Can I install cPanel or Plesk?

Yes. You can install the control panel of your choice (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, CyberPanel); its licence is at your expense. A cPanel licence is also offered as an option when you order.

Is my data backed up?

Not by default: on an unmanaged server, backups are your responsibility. Management plans include daily backups, with 2 to 7 copies kept depending on the plan, plus replication to an off-site data center with Critical management.

Is traffic limited?

No, traffic is unlimited. Each server has a network port ranging from 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps depending on the model.

Is my server protected against DDoS attacks?

Yes, DDoS protection is included with every server at no extra cost.

Can I pay yearly?

Yes. The switch above the server list shows the yearly billing price, brought down to a monthly figure, and the "Order" button then uses the yearly cycle.
