Server & Setup

What is a dedicated server?

expand
A dedicated server is exclusively allocated to you, meaning all resources are fully yours and not shared with any other clients. Our dedicated servers provide full administrative access.

What are the advantages of using a dedicated server compared to a VPS?

expand
While a VPS is typically more cost-effective, dedicated servers deliver enhanced performance, control, and flexibility. They are particularly suitable for high-traffic websites, such as e-commerce sites or content streaming platforms, especially when custom configurations or specific hardware are required.

Do you provide a backup service?

expand
We do not offer complimentary backup services. We recommend that clients regularly back up their data. If you are interested in our backup service, please contact our sales team for more details.

Can I upgrade my server?

expand
Yes, all our servers are scalable. You can upgrade your configuration at any time. Please reach out to our sales team for assistance with upgrades.

Do I have full control over my server?

expand
Yes, you will receive SSH or RDP remote login credentials after the operating system is installed, allowing you to configure the server and utilize its resources fully.

How do I reboot my server?

expand
You can reboot your server using either of these methods:
  • 1.
    Via Client Panel: Go to ServersDetailManage ServerReboot

Network

How many IPv4 addresses do I get per server?

expand
By default, each dedicated server includes a /30 subnet (4 IP addresses). However, due to networking requirements, only 1 IP is usable out of this allocation.
Need more IPs? You can purchase additional addresses—up to a /24 subnet (253 usable IPs) per server.
Questions? Contact our support team for help with IP allocations
