Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are available?

We offer a wide range of instant install operating systems like Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, Windows Server, and more. You can also attach your own custom ISO using HTTPS direct link to the ISO.

How quickly is my VPS deployed?

VPS servers are typically deployed instantly after payment confirmation. If we are low on stock, deployment may be delayed. Some payment methods like bank transfers and cryptocurrency may take time to process.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, we offer a 5-day money-back guarantee on all VPS plans. If you're not satisfied with our service, contact support within 5 days of purchase for a full refund. We can only provide refunds processed via fiat payment methods, not cryptocurrency.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit/debit cards like Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, China UnionPay, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and dozens of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. We also accept mail in payments in the US.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes, most locations include enterprise-grade DDoS protection at no extra cost. Protection levels vary by location, with most including high capacity protection. Check the network information section for details on each datacenter.

Can I upgrade my VPS later?

Yes, you can upgrade your VPS plan at any time by contacting support. Upgrades are processed with prorated billing for the remainder of your billing cycle. Due to technical limitations, we cannot downgrade your VPS plan.

Do you provide managed support?

Our VPS plans are unmanaged, meaning you have full root access and control. However, our support team is available to help with basic server questions. Full management may be offered to businesses at request, please contact us.

What is your uptime guarantee?

We don't have a legal uptime guarantee, as we believe many provider SLAs are deceiving and for marketing. In the event of excessive downtime due to hardware or network issues, we always credit customers affected. We use premium networks and facilities, with most offering 99.99% uptime guarantees.

What is SPanel?

SPanel is an all-in-one web hosting control panel that provides an intuitive interface for managing your websites, domains, email accounts, databases, and more. It is a modern alternative to cPanel with better performance and built-in security features like WP Lock and SShield.

Can I host WordPress sites?

Yes! Our web hosting is optimized for WordPress with one-click installation, automatic updates, staging environments, and the WP Lock security feature that prevents malware from modifying your WordPress files. The OpenLiteSpeed server with LSCache delivers exceptional WordPress performance.

What is WP Lock?

WP Lock is a security feature that prevents unauthorized file writes to your WordPress installation. This blocks common attack vectors like malware injection through vulnerable plugins, protecting your site from compromise.

How does Redis caching work?

Each web hosting account gets an isolated Redis instance that can be used for object caching with WordPress (via plugins like Redis Object Cache) or directly by your PHP/Node.js applications for improved performance.

What is OpenLiteSpeed and why is it faster?

OpenLiteSpeed is a high-performance web server that is up to 10x faster than Apache. It includes built-in page caching (LSCache), HTTP/3 support, and efficient event-driven architecture. All of our web hosting plans run on OpenLiteSpeed for maximum speed.

Can I host multiple websites on one plan?

Yes! Our Basic, Premier, and Ultimate web hosting plans all support unlimited domains, so you can host multiple websites on a single account. The Starter plan supports up to 10 hosted domains. Each website can have its own PHP version and configuration.

What PHP versions are available?

We support all PHP versions. You can select different PHP versions for each website and configure PHP extensions as needed through SPanel.
