Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Lineserve Cloud Servers pricing, billing, and resource management.
Each Cloud Server includes dedicated vCPU cores, RAM, bandwidth allowance, DDoS protection, monitoring, firewall, and 24/7 support. Public IPs and storage are priced separately based on usage.
We operate Tier III data centers in Nairobi (Kenya), Lagos (Nigeria), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), providing low-latency connectivity across East and West Africa. All facilities feature N+1 power redundancy, 24/7 security, DDoS protection, and 99.99% uptime SLA. Coming soon: Johannesburg (South Africa) and Frankfurt (Germany).
You can choose your storage size starting from 1GB up to 16TB. The default storage type is Network Universal SSD (balanced performance at $0.23/GB/month). You can also choose Network Basic HDD ($0.15/GB) or Network Fast SSD ($0.34/GB). Storage requirements vary by OS - Linux typically needs 10GB minimum, while Windows requires at least 32GB.
We offer 5 instance families: General Purpose (m6i. - balanced), Compute Optimized (c6i. - high CPU), Memory Optimized (r6i. - high RAM), Storage Optimized (i3. - high I/O), and Burstable (t3. - cost-effective with baseline CPU).
Windows Server instances include an additional licensing fee on top of the base server and storage costs. Windows Server 2022 Standard adds $21.02/month. Windows also requires a minimum of 32GB storage.
Instances are billed per-second with a 1-minute minimum. Your total cost = base compute price + storage (size x price per GB). Stopped instances are not charged for compute, only storage. Reserved instances offer up to 40% discount.
Yes. You can resize to a different instance type with a brief reboot. You can also adjust your storage size independently. All your data is preserved during resize operations.
Backups are not automatic by default. We recommend enabling automatic snapshots in the console or using Lineserve Backup Service. Backups are stored redundantly and can be restored with one click.
Each instance type includes a monthly traffic allowance (e.g., 1TB for m6i.small). Inbound traffic is always free. Additional outbound traffic beyond your allowance is billed at $8.97/TB.
We offer 99.99% uptime SLA for multi-AZ deployments and 99.95% for single-AZ. If we fail to meet the SLA, you receive service credits as compensation.
All Cloud Servers include 24/7 technical support via chat, email, and phone. Enterprise customers get dedicated account managers and priority response times.
