ServaRica

All ServaRica servers are hosted in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Montreal data center offers low latency to US East Coast markets and benefits from Canadian privacy laws. The facility is powered by Hydro-Quebec renewable energy.

ServaRica uses KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for all VPS plans. V3 KVM Slices feature dedicated CPU cores that are not shared or oversold. The company previously used Xen but has migrated to KVM for better performance.

V3 KVM Slices have dedicated (not shared) CPU cores with balanced resources (1 GB RAM per core). Slim and Fat Slices use shared CPU cores but offer higher specs: Slim has 4 GB RAM/core with 10Gbps networking, Fat provides 250 GB NVMe/core with 10Gbps. Chimera Hybrid plans combine NVMe + HDD storage with shared cores.

Yes, ServaRica offers a 7-day money-back guarantee on all VPS plans. The refund policy applies only once per client. Cryptocurrency payments receive account credit instead of wallet refunds. Payment processor fees are non-refundable.

ServaRica accepts PayPal, Alipay, major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard), cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), checks by mail, and bank transfers for amounts over $200.

Virtual servers are typically provisioned within 10 minutes. Some orders may require manual fraud review, which can take several hours. Dedicated servers may take 24-72 hours for hardware preparation.

Yes, ServaRica data center in Montreal runs on 99% renewable energy from Hydro-Quebec. Quebec generates virtually all its electricity from hydroelectric power, making ServaRica one of the greenest hosting providers.

V3 KVM plans start at 250 Mbps unlimited bandwidth, with speed increasing by 1 Mbps daily up to 1 Gbps maximum. Alternatively, 10 Gbps bandwidth is available up to a data cap, then throttled to 10 Mbps unlimited. Slim and Fat plans include 10 Gbps connectivity.

Yes, ServaRica offers a Bee GPU VPS plan with a dedicated Nvidia Tesla P40 GPU via PCI passthrough at $79/month. The plan includes 6 dedicated CPU cores, 30 GB RAM, and 400 GB NVMe storage. Suitable for AI/ML inference, video rendering, and GPU-accelerated workloads.

VPS and dedicated servers are fully unmanaged — you get full root access and are responsible for server administration. Shared hosting plans include cPanel/WHM. Support is available 24/7 via tickets, live chat, and phone (+1 514-800-5409) for infrastructure issues.

ServaRica provides a 99.9% monthly network uptime SLA. Credit percentages are given based on uptime levels: 99.9%+ full credit for downtime, with graduated credits down to 95%. The company manages its own multi-homed network with multiple ISP providers.

ServaRica offers two storage VPS categories: Big Storage (2-8 TB HDD RAIDz2, from $5/month) and Expanding Storage (starts small but grows 1-15 GB daily). Big Storage is ideal for backups and media. Expanding Storage is unique — your disk space increases automatically every day as long as your subscription is active.

Expanding Storage VPS plans start with a base disk allocation (0.5-8 TB) and automatically add 1-15 GB of storage per day depending on the plan. For example, the Lobster plan starts at 2 TB and adds 3 GB daily, reaching approximately 3 TB after one year. There is no maximum limit — storage grows indefinitely while the subscription is active.

Chimera Hybrid plans combine fast NVMe storage (for OS and applications) with large HDD storage (for data, backups, media). This dual-storage approach provides both speed and capacity at an affordable price. Plans range from 65 GB NVMe + 2 TB HDD to 520 GB NVMe + 16 TB HDD.

Yes, ServaRica offers SSD shared web hosting plans starting at $16/year. Plans include cPanel/WHM control panel, daily backups, free SSL, unlimited subdomains, and unmetered bandwidth. The web hosting is suitable for small websites and blogs.
