Can I call on your support service to restart applications on my server?
There are two cases:
1. If you have activated an administration plan, our colleagues can assist you in installing, configuring and turning off/on applications from the server, within the agreed terms of your plan.
2. If you do not have an administration plan, our team does not have access to your server and cannot make any changes on it. They can only reset the equipment if you request it.
Our recommendation is either that you activate KVM over IP (iLO3) so you can control your server at any time, even when it is turned off, or to choose an
administration plan suited to your needs and become worry free.

Can you give me access to the server, so I can install the OS?
Yes. Through iLO3 you'll be able to connect to your server right from your home or office computer and install any operating system you want, as long as you've got the installer kit.

Why should I buy from you and not from another major provider?
Our experience is focused exclusively on hosting. Unlike all other major providers, we don't sell internet or telecom services AND hosting. We're DEDICATED to hosting, the quality of our hosting service is our main priority. That's why we'll always invest in the best infrastructure and the best professionals in the field.
The
hardware in our datacenter is developed and optimized for hosting - we only work with highly specialized equipment.
Our
technical support staff is trained to know in detail every aspect of this service.
Also, because we're the best at what we do, we can customize just about anything about our service, so you don't just get a standard solution, but one that's just right for you.

What type of protection do you ensure against online attacks or intrusions?
We use dedicated hardware solutions, which offer much better performance than the equivalent software. We filter attacks through a hardware firewall, software firewall and a hardware DoS/DDoS protection equipment.
Software protection is included with every server. Hardware filtering is optional, activated on demand and separately charged.

What web administration software do you provide?
For Linux we offer cPanel/WHM with automatic installation, if the software is added in the ordering process of one of our standard server configurations. For Windows we can provide Plesk, but it can be ordered only with custom configurations, because the installation has to be done manually.
The activation of an administration panel is optional and charged separately.

Why do you only work with HP servers?
The functionalities of HP servers have allowed us to significantly improve the process of renting a dedicated server. The ordering and installing processes have been completely automated, based on the presence of the iLO3 module. Also, with iLO3, our clients can control their servers from any browser, just like they do the PC on their desk. This doesn't just mean that we provide a better experience, but prices go down as well, because less human resources are involved in providing the service.
At the same time, we work with HP because all our infrastructure is based exclusively on enterprise equipment and brand name components. We don't make servers from spare parts and we never use desktop components (e.g. i7 processors).

here.

Why such a big discount? Should I expect lower quality?
We never compromise on quality. We can offer a 50% discount for a limited time because we are supported by two strategic partners: HP and Omnilogic. Together we aim to offer better access to professional IT solutions for small and medium businesses.
Each of our companies has invested in this project, so that smart managers and entrepreneurs, who want a sustainable development of their data infrastructure to be able to afford it without creating a financial problem for the business.

I saw that the server can become mine in 24 months. What happens if I end the contract sooner than that?
If you cancel the service before the acquisition of the server is final, you legally renounce the paid amount.

How do you calculate traffic usage and what happens when I go over the included internet traffic?
We only measure internet traffic that leaves your server (upload), not backup or LAN traffic. Past your reserved volume, you will be charged 0,08 EUR per each additional GB you use.

I didn't see a bandwidth limitation, just one for total traffic. What's the maximum bandwidth per second that I can use?
1 Gbit per second for both national or international traffic. Your server has a Gbit port and you can use all of it. There's no other limitation except the hardware capacity of the ethernet card.
