Payment for Services

We provide services in advance payment method. After payment money is kept on your personal account. Service fee will be charged from it after server order.

The following payment methods are available at the moment:

• Bank card
• PayPal

Money is instantly transferred to the account.

"The Promised Payment" service is available for our subscribers. It allows to receive services on credit within 5 days, if the account balance is "below zero".

The minimum amount payable is 5 USD.

Fees calculation

Subscription fee is charged off daily, at the beginning of the day, based on 30 days in a month. Service fees and the account balance are always available in the control panel. Server creating and chargeable service connection is possible only when the account balance is more than a zero. Disconnection of any ordered services is possible at any moment via personal account. In the first day of server creation or other service connection the subscription fee will be charged off proportionally to the rest of the day. In case of service deleting or server configuration change, the subscription fee for the rest of the day is not refunded.

Please, be aware that the subscription fee is charged off even when the server power is powered off! To stop the subscription fee accruals it is necessary to delete the server.

When the account balance becomes lower than a zero, all the subscriber's servers are suspended (put on pause). In this case the subscription fee accruals continue. If the account won’t be refilled shortly, the blocked servers (including hard discs data) and the backup copies will be deleted.

Refund policy

You can refund money that is remain unused on your personal account. Subscription fee for provided services can’t be returned.

The refund is made by the email application. Money can be returned only to the same bank card / e-money account from witch it was transferred. Refund fee (to cover transaction costs) is 2 USD per transaction. Account funds received within different promotions, bonuses and other advertising campaigns are not refunded.

Internet Channel

By default, the virtual servers are connected to the shared (one for all) channel to the Internet at the rate of 100 Mb/s. The traffic volume is not limited.

If you are dissatisfied with the ping stability or transfer speed, we recommend you to connect to "Guaranteed Internet channel" in the control panel. Your VPS will be connected to the individual channel with the guaranteed transfer speed.

Private network

Private network allows you to transfer data directly between servers, in the same way as in your company LAN. The private network don't have Internet access.

The service can be connected at the server management page in the control panel. After private network enabling the second network interface will be added for VDS. You have to configure the network parameters manually. Data transfer rate in the private network is 100 Mb/s, the data transfer volume isn't limited.

Hardware Options

We provide virtual servers on two type of storage systems:

• SAS - with professional hard disks HP SAS 15k. To ensure reliable data storage and high speed operation storage system set up in Raid 10 with hot standby disks.
• SSD - also professional HP hard disks, but with SSD technology. Which increases performance more then 2 times. Storage system in Raid 60 with hot standby disks.

You can migrate VPS between different equipment types via personal account, but not often than once a day.

Virtual Server Configuration Change

Server configuration change is possible at any moment. It can be done in the control panel.

Please, be aware that you cannot reduce the size of the hard disc for the virtual server. After you have increased the hard disc size in the control panel, it is necessary to make it available for the operational system. How to do it is written here: Linux and Windows.

Virtual Server Snapshots

"Snapshot" service can be activate in the personal account. Service cost depends on the virtual server disc size. Yet you can make only 1 snapshot for every virtual server. The server can be recover from the snapshot at any moment.

Please, be aware that it is impossible to change server configuration, if the snapshot for it is being stored. For configuration change it is necessary first to delete the snapshot and after that to change configuration.

Backup

VDS backup allows to restore data and server settings at the backup copy creation moment. You may connect the service in the personal account, at the server page, in the "Backup" section. Copies are created automatically every day in the chosen time (±15 minutes). You also choose number of stored copies.

While VDS recover from the backup copy, its configuration (core number, memory, disc) at the moment of copying is also being reset.

Disc Space expansion in OS Linux

You can increase server storage size via personal account. Please pay attention, if you change default disk partitions or use LVM you will have to adjust partitions size manually.

Manual how to change LVM partitions is locates on our website.

When additional storage volume connected to a virtual server, you need to create partitions manually on it.

Disc Space expansion in OS Windows

After increasing the server disc size in the personal account it is necessary to make it available for the operational system.

Run Server Manager

Open the "Computer Management" console
Switch to the "Disc Management" item

In the discs list find the disc with the unsectioned space. Press the right mouse button at the disc section, where it is necessary to increase the size, and choose the "ExtendVolume..." item

"Extend Volume Wizard" will be opened. Press "Next"

Choose the size of the virgin area for the chosen disc size increase and press "Next"

To finish press "Extend Volume Wizard " and press "Finish"

It is ready for service. The disc size is increased and available for use by the system.

Disc Space expansion in OS FreeBSD

After increasing the server disc size in the control panel it is necessary to make it available for the operational system.

Open the terminal under the root user.
As an example, the disc space increase from 10GB to 20GB is given.
With the help of camcontrol and part utilities see the full disc size and the sections on it:
root@freebsd_9:~ # camcontrol readcap da0 -h

How to Switch off the Upgraded Security Configuration of Internet Explorer in Windows Server 2012

When Internet Explorer enhanced security Configuration (IE ESC) is switched on, the user sees pop-up windows with the request to add every new URL to the IE trusted area. If you are ready to raise the server safety level individually, you may switch off this function.

Method 1: disconnection through the Explorer

1. Run Server Manager.

2. Choose "Local Server" ( where it is necessary to switch off the Internet Explorer enhanced security Configuration):

3. In the right section of the window Server Manager you will see Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration ("On" by default):

4. Click "On", then choose the option of Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration: configuration switching off only for the Administrator's account, or configuration switching off for all the rest users. The administrator's local account use is the source of the additional security threat, also it does not often give the required result in tests, when the administrator has authorization and the average user does not have one. So it is more preferable, while testing, to use the account without administrator's rights – and in this case to switch off the Configuration only for the given user.

5. The Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration full switching off is shown below. After selecting, press "ОК:

6. Having returned to Server Manager, renew it with the help of F5 key, after that you will see that the setting has changed to the "Off" mode

7. It is ready for service. Open the Internet Explorer browser window and check the access for any site.

Method 2. Windows PowerShell

Open Windows PowerShell

Insert the following code into the text document with suffix ps1: Disable-IEESC.ps1. It will switch off the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration both for the user, and for the administrator:

function Disable-IEESC {
	$AdminKey = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{A509B1A7-37EF-4b3f-8CFC-4F3A74704073}"
	$UserKey = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{A509B1A8-37EF-4b3f-8CFC-4F3A74704073}"
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $AdminKey -Name "IsInstalled" -Value 0 
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $UserKey -Name "IsInstalled" -Value 0
	Stop-Process -Name Explorer 
	Write-Host "IE Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC) has been disabled." -ForegroundColor Green
}
Disable-IEESC

If you insert the script directly into the PowerShell window, press Enter twice after insertion. PowerShell run on behalf of the Administrator:

It is ready for service!

Adding IP restrictions to your account

To add new layer of security to your account, you can add restrictions so only select IP-addresses have access. If account was blocked under access policy, your VPS are works as usual, but web-interface options will be limited.

Dynamic vs. static IPs

Dynamic IP-addresses are the most common and change periodically, which could lock you out of your account. Static IP-addresses remain the same and are typically sold by Internet Service Providers (ISP) for a premium price.

If you are on a home network and are not sure if you have a static IP address, you can ask your provider about it or add subnet mask e.g. 0.0.0.* where * allows any digits.

How to add IP restrictions to your account:

1. Log in to your account. Select "Profile" at the right corner of the top line menu.
2. Be sure, that your really location fields are not empty. You need it to recovery access if your IP will be changed.
3. Check on "Mail agreement". The link for unblock will be sent at verified account email.
4. Specify up to 3 IP-addresses (or networks) may access your account web-interface. It can be your office, workplace or subnetwork.

If your workplace address was changed or you forget about this restriction and account was blocked, you can recovery access.

After reply control questions, the instructions and reset link will be sent to your registered email.
