FAQ about Linux VPS

How to get a trial of your VPS?

We do not provide a trial period for VPS service. But we will refund 100% of your payment if you refuse to use the VPS within the first 30 days.

Should I have a domain name to buy VPS?

It is not necessary to have a domain name to order a VPS service. You will get your own IP which you can use to access your site.

How often do you restart your VPS master servers?

Our goal is to provide the best VPS service and ensure its stable and trouble-proof operation.

We always notify our clients in advance about scheduled maintenance works that might affect VPS availability.

During maintenance on our Windows VPS service, we do not shut down or otherwise take offline your VPS. We just migrate it to another server. You do not notice this migration — your VPS loses a couple of network packets, which is normal for the Internet, and that’s it. We do not usually migrate Linux VPS services before maintenance works which might result in downtime. If it is very important for you to keep your VPS online during maintenance, create a ticket to our support team. We will ensure that your VPS won’t be affected by those works.

Please note that the installation requires a pure VPS without any data on it.

We only install the minimal package of software on the VPS, so nothing slows down or boosts up your VPS performance. But our servers are brand new and powerful, so you will get a really fast VPS.

On the relay, the mail is checking with antivirus, goes through SpamAssassin, and on the relay set a limit of 100 emails per hour from one IP address.
