Your questions, our answers

What is the difference between a managed and a self-managed VPS?

With a self-managed VPS you handle the administration yourself (software, updates, security) with full root access. With a managed VPS, our team takes care of the technical management for you.

Do I need technical skills to use a self-managed VPS?

Yes. Basic Linux administration knowledge is recommended: command line, package management and security best practices. Otherwise, our managed offers are a better fit.

Which Linux distributions are available?

By default: AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu and RockyLinux. You can also import your own ISO image.

Can I install my own control panel (cPanel, Plesk, CyberPanel)?

Yes. With full root access you can install the panel of your choice. Some licences (cPanel, Plesk) are not included.

Where are your data centers located?

Our servers are hosted in Tier III certified data centers with redundant power and 24/7 security. You choose the location when ordering.

How long does it take for my VPS to be ready?

Your VPS is typically deployed in under five minutes. You receive your credentials by email and can get started right away.

What is your uptime guarantee (SLA)?

We guarantee 99.9 % network availability. If we fall short, credits are applied to your next invoice in accordance with our terms of service.

Is my VPS protected against DDoS attacks?

Yes. Basic anti-DDoS network protection is included with every plan, active from deployment with no configuration required.

What is your backup policy?

Daily backups with 3-day retention are included with every plan. You can extend the retention to 7 days as an option.

Can I upgrade my plan without losing my data?

Yes. You can move up to a higher plan in a few clicks from your client area, with no migration required.

What kind of support is included with a self-managed VPS?

Our bilingual 24/7 support stays available for questions about your infrastructure. The software administration of your VPS remains your responsibility.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal, bank transfers and Chorus Pro payments for public administrations.

Ready to take the helm?

Full root access, NVMe storage and a KVM console, deployed in minutes.
