Frequently Asked Questions
What payment methods do you support?
You can pay via Credit Card (Mastercard, VISA, American Express, UnionPay), BanContact, EPS, giropay, iDeal, P24 and Paypal.
How long until my virtual server is ready to use?
Provisioning of new virtual servers is fully automated and takes about 5 minutes. As soon as your payment is received, the setup process is launched automatically for the operating system you selected during checkout. (Provided that our system didn't flag you for manual review.)
What kinds of usages are accepted?
In short: keep it legit and do not abuse the provided resources. No email spam, no file sharing, no Tor nodes, no Torrent and nothing that will max out the shared resources 24/7 (= no crypto currency miners, please). For a more detailed list, see the “Accepted Usage Policy” section of our Terms of Service.
What operating systems are supported?
You can either pick from the latest AlmaLinux, CentOS, Debian, OpenSuse or Ubuntu releases pre-installed on your virtual server; or you can upload any ISO and install whatever operating system you would like to use instead.
Great, now I've got a server. What's next?
Well, that is totally up to you. But many clients seem to prefer to use either Proxmox Backup Server or BorgBackup. Both are probably great solutions for your backup strategy and go very well with our offerings.
What level of support is provided?
These are unmanaged virtual server offers, so you are expected to install and configure the server yourself. You get root access to the virtual server and a Linux distribution pre-installed, but you will have to setup any software according to your requirements.
Can I have a benchmark?
Yes, of course; this is LET after all.
