FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Standard or Performance: which one fits my application?
The Managed Dedicated Server Standard uses an AMD EPYC 7313P CPU with 16 cores / 32 threads, 32 GB RAM (max. 1 TB) and software RAID-1. The Managed Dedicated Server Performance uses an AMD EPYC 7443P CPU with 24 cores / 48 threads, 64 GB RAM (max. 1 TB) and hardware RAID-1, for applications with particularly high requirements. We’re happy to advise you on what fits your application and your requirements.
What does server management cover?
We install and configure the Managed Services you choose and apply regular security updates. Server management also includes protection against brute-force attacks on SSH and FTP, 24/7 monitoring of services, disk space and RAID status, as well as daily database dumps and a file backup with 7 days of retention (extendable) on separate storage systems at two locations. You are responsible for custom software, such as your CMS. You’ll find more information in our documentation.
How many Managed Services are included in the base price?
Two Managed Services are included in the base price: one “simple” and one “complex” service, for example a web and a database service. You can add further Managed Services such as Podman, Valkey or VPN solutions for an additional fee.
Can I get root access to my Managed Dedicated Server?
Root access is not available to customers on our Managed Servers, you get an unprivileged user account. If you want to control the operating system and the entire server configuration yourself, a Root Dedicated Server or a Root CloudVM is the right alternative.
Which backups are created?
We create daily backups of the file system as well as nightly dumps of your MySQL/PostgreSQL databases. Server backups are encrypted and kept for 7 days at two locations (at least one off-site).
Can I extend the backup retention period?
Yes, the default retention period of 7 days can be extended. The available options are a retention period of 14 days, 14 days with 2 additional monthly revisions, and 30 days with 6 or 12 monthly revisions. Depending on the option, the monthly cost ranges from CHF 10.– to CHF 50.–, plus a one-time setup fee of CHF 75.–. You’ll find all options in the pricing and product overview.
Is my server monitored?
We monitor your contracted services around the clock, including CPU utilisation, disk capacity and RAID status. In the event of a malfunction, a technician is alerted automatically, and you’re notified automatically about low disk space or out-of-memory events.
What availability is guaranteed?
A Basic SLA is included in every server’s base price. If your project has higher availability requirements, you can choose an SLA with 99.5%, 99.75% or 99.9% uptime during business hours and shorter intervention times. On top, our 24/7 emergency service includes guaranteed recovery within 24 hours. Details on response times and service credits on our SLA page.
Which operating system runs on my server, and how long is it supported?
On our Managed Servers, we use Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support). Each LTS version receives five years of regular support. After that, security updates remain available for a further five-year period via Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM). Systems in the ESM period are subject to a surcharge. We inform you about upgrade options before the ESM period begins. You can find which Ubuntu and service versions are currently available in our documentation.
How does DDoS and WAF protection work?
As an official Cloudflare partner, we provide Cloudflare licences, configuration and support from a single source. Cloudflare DDoS protection, a basic rule set for common CMS and protection against cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks are included. You’ll find more information on Cloudflare and its licences on our Cloudflare page.
Do you offer an email service for Managed Servers?
We do not offer a managed email service. Postfix is preinstalled on our systems but is not monitored and is not a Managed Service. For business-critical applications, we recommend a specialised email delivery service. If you send emails directly from your Managed Server, you need to configure, among other things, the correct sender address and a suitable SPF record. You’ll find more information in our documentation on sending emails from applications.
Can I add more resources (RAM and storage) later?
Yes, the systems can be expanded with additional RAM or SSD and NVMe storage. Added SSD and NVMe drives cannot be removed again. You’ll find all add-on options in the Price Calculator.
