Help and support

Do you offer VDS/DS administration services?

When purchasing VDS and DS servers, we do not take responsibility for their administration and provide only basic technical support — initial server setup and basic software. We always try to accommodate our clients, but we do not provide administration services for free, as they are not included in the server rental cost. You can independently administer the server using root access, which allows for configuration and setup of the server according to your needs, or you can contact us for paid administration to resolve both standard and non-standard tasks. To submit a request, you need to create a written request to technical support from the control panel, specifying what work needs to be done and providing root access to the server (the root user password, SSH port, if it has been changed).

 

Yes, we provide additional administration services for hosting on virtual and dedicated servers, as well as assistance for virtual hosting owners. With our technical support, you can resolve various technical issues — install and configure software, perform diagnostics, change settings, and much more. Many functions are already automated and available to you in the control panel, while you can also contact us for paid administration.
