FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's covered by the server management?
We monitor your Managed Server around the clock and make sure security updates get applied. We store your server's backups in two geographically separate locations. Two Managed Services are included in the base price: one “simple” and one “complex” service. If you're unsure which category your services fall into, you'll find more information in the Price Calculator or on request.
How do I manage a Managed Server?
On our Managed Servers, we provide the “nine-manage-vhosts” and “nine-manage-databases” CLI tools. You create vhosts, Let's Encrypt certificates and additional users, as well as databases and database users, directly from the command line.
How do I add a Managed Server service to my server?
Managed Services can be configured to fit almost any use case. Get in touch and we'll advise you on your specific setup.
Is there a setup fee for Managed Services?
Usually not. For a few very time-consuming configurations, e.g. a database replication, we charge for our time.
Are Managed Services covered by an SLA?
Managed Services are covered by the SLA of the Managed Server they run on.
Are Managed Services available on Root Server too?
Yes, certain Managed Services can also be used together with your Root Server. OpenSearch, a Key-Value Store (Redis-compatible), and MySQL and PostgreSQL databases can be created directly via Cockpit.
Can I run MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL as a Managed Service instead of using On-Demand Databases?
Yes. As a Managed Service, we install MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL directly on your Managed Server, where you manage databases and database users via the “nine-manage-databases” CLI. If you need an independent test environment or a different version of the database engine (MySQL and PostgreSQL), our On-Demand Databases are a flexible and cost-effective alternative.
Is FTP really free?
Yes, FTP is CHF 0.– as a Managed Service, but it requires Apache or Nginx to already be set up on the same server.
Do you offer products for monitoring, logging or tracing?
Yes, for Managed Kubernetes (NKE) we offer extended metrics, logging and tracing. Find more information on these Managed Kubernetes add-ons in our documentation.
