Question 1

What is a VPS?

Accepted Answer

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualized server that mimics a dedicated server within a shared hosting environment. It provides you with dedicated resources and full root access, giving you more control and performance than shared hosting.

Question 2

What can I use a VPS for?

Accepted Answer

You can use a VPS for a wide range of purposes, including hosting websites, running web applications, managing databases, hosting a game server, as a development environment, or even as a private VPN.

Question 3

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Changed your mind? Consumers have a 14-day cooling-off period, though if your service has already started you may be charged for what you have used. Business customers may receive pro-rated credit at our discretion. Setup, IX/XC, and third-party fees are non-refundable. Just open a ticket and we will take it from there.

Question 4

How long does it take to set up my VPS?

Accepted Answer

Your VPS will be provisioned and ready to use almost instantly after your payment is confirmed and fraud check is passed. You'll receive an email with all the login details you need to get started right away. Orders placed through a VPN are blocked and will be rejected.

Question 5

Can I upgrade my VPS plan later?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can upgrade your plan at any time directly from your client area. The upgrade process is seamless with no downtime.

ASN ownership is verified through the contact email published in WHOIS. Once verified, you can provision the BGP session yourself from the control panel without opening a ticket.

What virtualization technology do you use?

Accepted Answer

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), which provides true hardware virtualization and dedicated, isolated resources.

Question 14

No, we do not offer DDoS protection. If your VPS is targeted, we will null-route the IP to protect other customers. Repeated attacks may result in removal from our network at our discretion.

Question 15

What is an Internet Exchange (IX)?

Accepted Answer

A physical infrastructure where ISPs and CDNs exchange traffic between their networks. Connecting to an IX allows for more direct, faster, and often cheaper data exchange.

Question 16

Which Internet Exchanges (IXs) can I connect to?

Accepted Answer

We can facilitate connections to LONAP, LINX, ERA-IX, ONIX, FremiX, and NVIX. This allows you to establish peering and resell connectivity.

Question 17

Are Internet Exchange add-ons provisioned automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. IX and cross-connect add-ons are manually provisioned after ordering. We will confirm any required details and activation through support.

Question 18

Do you sell IP blocks with your servers?

Accepted Answer

No. We support BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP), but you must have your own AS to announce your IP space. We do not permit announcements on our AS.

Question 19

Can I announce my own IP space?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through BYOIP. You must operate your own ASN and announce the space through your own BGP session; announcements cannot originate from AS52025 on your behalf.
