FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualized server that provides dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, storage) that are guaranteed to be available for your applications. Unlike shared hosting, where resources are shared among all users, a VPS provides better performance, reliability, and security.
While having technical knowledge can be beneficial, it's not always necessary. We offer managed VPS services where our team handles all technical aspects of server management. For those comfortable with server administration, we provide unmanaged VPS options with full root access.
Yes, one of the key benefits of VPS hosting is scalability. You can easily upgrade your VPS resources (CPU, RAM, storage) as your needs grow. Our platform allows for seamless vertical scaling with minimal to no downtime.
We support a wide range of operating systems including various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Alpine Linux) and Windows Server. You can choose the OS that best fits your application requirements during setup.
VPS hosting offers significantly better security than shared hosting because your environment is isolated from other users. We enhance this security with DDoS protection, network firewalls, regular security patches, and optional managed security services.
Yes, we offer automated backup solutions for all VPS plans. Basic plans include weekly backups, while advanced plans feature daily backups with longer retention periods. You can also create manual backups at any time.
We provide 24/7 technical support via live chat, ticket system, and phone. Our support team consists of experienced server administrators who can assist with all aspects of your VPS. Business and Enterprise managed plans include priority support.

Hosting your workloads in our African data centers means significantly lower latency for your users across East and West Africa compared to servers hosted in Europe or the US.
