FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this product

A dedicated server is a physical server that you rent exclusively. Unlike VPS or cloud servers which share hardware with other customers, a dedicated server gives you full access to all CPU cores, RAM, storage, and network interfaces with no virtualization overhead.
Our dedicated servers are deployed in Tier III certified data centers in Nairobi (Kenya), Lagos (Nigeria), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). All facilities feature N+1 power redundancy, 24/7 on-site security, IPMI remote access, and 99.99% uptime SLA. We're expanding to Johannesburg (Tier IV) and Frankfurt in 2025.
Dedicated servers provide exclusive access to physical hardware with no virtualization layer, while VPS shares physical hardware with other customers through virtualization. Dedicated servers offer better performance, more control, and guaranteed resources, but at a higher cost.
Yes, you can customize CPU, RAM, storage type and capacity, and network speed. Contact our sales team for custom configurations that match your specific requirements.
You can access your server via SSH (Linux) or RDP (Windows) over the internet. We also provide IPMI/KVM over IP for out-of-band management, allowing you to control the server even when the OS is down.
We offer free migration assistance. Our team can help you transfer data, configure the new server, and minimize downtime. Contact support to schedule your migration.
We provide 99.99% uptime SLA with 24/7 monitoring. Hardware failures are replaced within 4 hours. Remote hands support is available for additional maintenance tasks.
Dedicated servers are billed monthly. We offer month-to-month contracts with no long-term commitment. Discounts are available for annual prepayments.
Yes, hardware upgrades are possible but may require brief downtime. Contact support to schedule upgrades. Some upgrades like additional storage can be done with minimal interruption.
You can install any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or custom OS via ISO. We provide pre-configured images for popular OSes, or you can upload your own ISO for installation.
Yes, we offer automated backup services and manual snapshot capabilities. Backups can be stored on our object storage or your preferred backup destination.
Basic DDoS protection up to 10Gbps is included. Advanced DDoS protection up to 1Tbps is available as an add-on service for high-risk applications.
