Help and support

Do you have a VDS/DS administration service?

When purchasing a VDS and DS server, we are not responsible for its administration and provide only basic technical support — the initial installation of the server and the main software. We always try to meet the client, but we do not provide administration services for free, as they are not included in the server rental price. You can administer the server yourself with root access, which allows you to configure and customize the server depending on your needs, or you can turn to us for paid administration to solve both full-time and freelance tasks. To submit a request, you need to create a written request to technical support from the control panel, in which you specify what work needs to be done and provide root access to the server (password from the root user, ssh port, if it has been changed).

 

Yes, we provide additional administration services for hosting on virtual and dedicated servers, and also provide assistance to owners of virtual hosting. With the help of our technical support, you will be able to solve various technical issues — install and configure software, conduct diagnostics, change settings, and much more. Many functions are already automated and available to you in the control panel, at the same time you can contact us for paid administration.

 

Cost of hourly administration

The cost of administration depends on the time required to solve the technical task and its complexity.

 

During working hours (Mon-Fri from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.)

Applications for the administration service are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to receive an administration service urgently, we can take your application out of the queue. This service involves a one-time additional payment for urgency in the amount of UAH 300.

For a superficial analysis of errors that have arisen in working with the server, we can conduct a 15-minute diagnosis on a free basis.
