FAQs

  • What Operating System should I install on my server?

    This all depends on your requirements. If you use PHP, Perl or MySQL with your website, then a Linux OS would be the most suitable. If you use ASP and/or MS SQL, then Windows would be a better option for you.

    These constraints aside, Linux has the advantage that (except for Red Hat Enterprise) it is free, whereas Windows comes with a monthly license fee. If you decide that you'd prefer to have a GUI to administer your sites, then a Linux server with Plesk is still a cheaper (and more popular) option.

  • Backup - committed resource

    You have opportunity at the time you purchase your virtual server to agree on a set amount of data will that be backed up. All systems are backup-ed daily from 8pm. The time it takes to backup your information will vary as it depends on the quantity and type of data that you are backing up.

  • Is my server supported 24/7?

    There are engineers at our data centre 24 hours a day 7 days a week to deal with any system outages. However, currently we do not offer out-of-hours telephone support except on our managed hosting products. If this service would be important to you please contact us.

  • Why would I choose to install Plesk on my server?

    Plesk provides an intuitive and user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) to help you manage your server; giving you the ability to set up websites and e-mail accounts quickly. Even if you are completely confident using Windows admin tools, or the Linux command-line, Plesk allows you to do most administrative tasks easily and with speed.

  • What if I need more than my committed amount of usage?

    If there are times when you require a little extra space for short periods of time choose to have the burstable option with your order. Burstable enables you to exceed your committed amount of usage up to an agreed limit, the extra is billed on a per unit resource per hour basis.

    Burstable is ideal for users who require more flexibility and resources it enables you to cope with sudden surges in requirements above your committed rate.
