Linux Dedicated Server FAQ

Listed below are some Frequently Asked Questions for Linux Dedicated Servers :

Can I use virtualisation software on the server?

Our Dedicated Servers are virtualised (1:1). Thus, nested virtualisation will not work due to network restrictions on the host system.

 

Can I use a Dedicated Server for email marketing?

Dedicated Servers can be used for Websites, Databases, Custom Applications, Ecommerce, DNS, File Storage, and Emails. Emails, however, must be restricted to personal, organisational or professional purposes. The use of Dedicated Servers to send out mass emails/marketing is NOT recommended and can attract penalties.

 

Is Additional Storage available for all server configurations?

At present, the additional storage feature is only available with our HDD servers in the US data centre.

We would love to hear about such new features to help us serve you better.

 

Can I configure my own RAID for drives?

The Dedicated Servers come pre-configured with RAID 1. At present, we don’t allow customisation of RAID level. We would love to hear about such new features to help us serve you better.

 

What is the port speed of the server?

The server uplink port speed is up to 1 Gbps.
