Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What is VPS?

VPS stands for virtual private server. Physical servers are used to store enormous amounts of data for large businesses, run applications, and connect resources to the internet. Most businesses and individuals need these functionalities too, but on a much smaller scale. This is where VPS comes in: the physical server is divided into smaller virtual servers that are more affordable, so it is accessible to everyone, not just big companies.

What is KVM virtualization?

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a virtualization technology that comes built into Linux. Using KVM, the Linux kernel can be made to function as a hypervisor. Think of the hypervisor as special software that allows a physical host (PC or server) to be divided into multiple, isolated virtual machines. This is called virtualization.

What is the difference between VM and KVM?

VM stands for virtual machine, whereas KVM stands for kernel-based virtual machine. The two terms represent linked, but different, technologies. A virtual machine is a software version of a computer that runs atop a physical computer or server.

KVM is a Linux virtualization solution that lets you create and manage virtual machines on a physical computer or server. So KVM is used to create VMs - think of it as the emulation software that makes it possible to run multiple self-contained, isolated operating systems on the same piece of hardware.

How to choose a VPS package?

It all depends on the resources you require for your operation. A small business may not need the same package as a bigger business. Many web applications and scripts require a fair amount of memory, so if you are running an operation that needs the best CPU and RAM, choose a package with more resources. If you are just starting out, a more affordable package will suit you best.

Customer support needs to be exemplary: our team consists of highly trained, friendly professionals at your disposal, with unmatched turnaround times. We use KVM virtualization for high speed, availability, and security. As for the operating system, choose one you and your colleagues are comfortable with - we support CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, FreePBX, and 3CX, and allow custom mounted ISOs (unsupported).

Do you keep a backup of my servers?

No, however we offer you full flexibility of your backups at reasonable rates. Order a backup plan add-on during checkout. These are snapshots that allow you to roll back your virtual server to a previous state.

Which operating systems can I use on my VPS?

Currently you can choose between the following Linux versions: CentOS 8, 7; Debian 10, 9.0, 8.0; Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04, 16.04; FreePBX 10, SNG7; 3CX.

Other versions are available on request. Custom mounted ISOs are not officially supported - we will not provide support for any custom OS related issues.

How much CPU do I get?

It all depends on the package you rent. A more affordable package will have fewer CPUs. Our packages range from two vCPUs to 16 vCPUs. A vCPU is a Virtual Processing Unit; each is seen as a single physical CPU core by your server's operating system.

Larger packages naturally include more vCPUs, however the CPU is often not the limiting factor - in most use cases, the most important factor is how much memory (RAM) is needed. Modern PHP/MySQL scripts often use a lot of RAM, so RAM is very important when deciding which package to buy.

How many websites can I host on my server?

You can host as many websites as you like on your server - we do not define any limit. You just have to ensure the size of your machine is always sufficient for the resources your sites use. Your package can be upgraded or downgraded at any time to suit the number of sites you intend to host.

What is the difference between a VPN and a VPS?

VPN stands for virtual private network, while VPS stands for virtual private server. The former is a network, the latter is a server. A VPS acts similar to a physical computer where it stores data, connects to the internet, runs applications, etc. A VPN is an accessory that encrypts all communication, making your traffic hidden.

What does a VPS cost?

Our Linux VPS plans start from our most affordable tier and scale up with more CPU, RAM, and storage. See the Plans & Pricing section above for current per-region pricing.

How many IP addresses do I get with my VM?

Each server is deployed with 1 IP address to start with. You can request additional IPs from us if you need them; in such a case we charge a small monthly amount in addition.
