Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How long does automatic application setup take?

Provisioning and download time vary by application, server load, package repositories, and network conditions. Use the task estimate as guidance and wait for the panel to show Ready. Do not submit the same installer again while a task is active.

Open complete answer
Does installing an application erase my VPS?

A reviewed in-place application install does not silently reinstall the operating system. It can still change packages, ports, services, and configuration, so create a backup first. An OS reinstall is a separate destructive action and erases the VPS disk.

Open complete answer
Can I reinstall the operating system later?

Eligible VPS services can show Reinstall OS when the administrator enables it for the customer. Reinstall permanently erases server data and requires strong confirmation. Back up and verify the restore before proceeding.

Open complete answer
Why is my VPS active but the application still says installing?

VPS creation and application configuration are separate stages. Active means the infrastructure exists; Installing means the optional software has not completed its readiness check. Follow the task page until it reports Ready or Needs attention.

Open complete answer
Can I power off a VPS and stop billing?

No. Powering off the guest does not release the allocated CPU, memory, disk, IP, or billing period. Use the cancellation process for future renewal changes.

Open complete answer
What happens when a service expires?

Eligible overdue services are suspended by the billing schedule. Paying the valid renewal invoice can automatically restore access when the infrastructure still exists. An ended service cannot be renewed.

Open complete answer
Are backups included with every VPS?

Do not assume they are. Check the package and active add-ons. Maintain independent application-aware backups outside the VPS even when snapshots or managed backup options are available.

Open complete answer
Which control-panel licenses are included?

License inclusion is shown at checkout. cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, and LiteSpeed Enterprise generally require a valid paid or eligible trial license. Never assume a third-party license is included unless the order explicitly says so.

Open complete answer
Why does my domain not open the application?

Confirm the A record points to the VPS, allow time for DNS caching, verify ports 80 and 443, and check that the application or reverse proxy is listening. Obtain TLS only after the domain reaches the correct server.

Open complete answer
Why can I not connect by SSH?

Check power state, public IP, SSH port, username, key or password, provider and guest firewall rules, and local network restrictions. Use the browser console for recovery. Do not reinstall the OS just to fix an unverified SSH problem.

Open complete answer
Can the AI assistant access or change my server?

Public chat has no server access. Service-specific AI Help can propose only reviewed tasks for the customer's own eligible VPS. A server task requires protected connection details, identity checks, explicit approval, and a backup warning. Never paste credentials into chat.

Open complete answer
Can the AI assistant answer unrelated general questions?

No. The assistant is limited to the company's services, packages, billing, applications, and hosting support. It redirects unrelated history, politics, news, schoolwork, and general-knowledge requests.

Open complete answer
Why is Reinstall OS unavailable?

The service must be eligible, active, correctly linked, and allowed to use reinstall controls. Compatible images must also be available. Read the reason on the service page or contact support. Never reinstall to repair a billing or access problem without a verified backup.

Open complete answer
Can an application be installed without erasing the OS?

An enabled reviewed in-place installer is separate from an OS reinstall. It can still change packages, ports, and application data. Review compatibility and back up first; not every application can safely coexist with an existing stack.

Open complete answer
Why are some operating systems or applications missing?

Choices depend on the plan, location, available images, application requirements, and system permissions. A missing option may not be available on the selected infrastructure. Do not choose an incompatible OS just to bypass the restriction.

Open complete answer
Does adding wallet funds automatically pay my invoice?

A wallet deposit credits your balance after verification. An invoice is a separate payment obligation. Open the unpaid invoice and check whether payment has actually been applied; use the wallet confirmation flow when you intend to pay it.

Open complete answer
Why is a paid VPS still being prepared?

Payment confirmation, infrastructure creation, and optional application setup are separate stages. Follow the service progress and avoid duplicate orders. If a stage is held for review, support must resolve that issue before a safe retry.

Open complete answer
What should I do if money was debited but the invoice is unpaid?

Check the original transaction and billing reference before paying again. Send support the provider reference, amount, and time with a redacted receipt. Never share a PIN, OTP, card credentials, or a private key.

Open complete answer
Can I pay with a disabled payment gateway?

Only enabled and configured methods are offered for new payments. A previously started transaction may still be verified through its original gateway. Do not send a new payment to an old or unlisted payment address.

Open complete answer
Does an annual discount apply to every renewal?

Not necessarily. The offer and coupon rules determine the billing term, initial discount, and renewal conditions. Review the order summary and invoice rather than assuming an introductory promotion lasts forever.

Open complete answer
Is my VPS login the same as my billing login?

No. Billing, operating-system, and application accounts are separate. Use the connection details for that specific service and keep each password unique. A billing password reset does not automatically reset the VPS password.

Open complete answer
Can I share my WireGuard download with another person?

A client profile contains a private key and can grant VPN access. Keep it confidential and use a separate authorized peer for each device or person. Revoke the affected peer if a profile or device is lost.

Open complete answer
Does a backup stored on my VPS protect against VPS loss?

Not by itself. The server and its local backup can be lost together. Keep an independent off-server copy and test a restore. Include the database, uploads, configuration, and encryption keys required by the application.

Open complete answer
Can I switch my existing VPS to another location at checkout?

The location selector routes a new order. It does not move an existing VPS. Moving a live service requires a planned migration, data protection, and verification of address and DNS changes. Ask support about available migration options.

Open complete answer
Does a CPU or memory chart prove an application is healthy?

No. Resource charts describe sampled infrastructure usage. Check the application status, logs, and a real user workflow as well. Missing samples should not be interpreted as zero usage or proof of failure.

Open complete answer
Why does a domain work for some visitors but not others?

Different DNS caches, old A or AAAA records, proxies, or local networks can return different results. Check the intended DNS zone and both address families before changing the server. DNS changes can remain cached until their prior TTL expires.

Open complete answer
Can I disable HTTPS checks to fix a connection warning?

Do not bypass certificate verification as a permanent fix. Verify the hostname, certificate chain, validity dates, and device clock. A warning can indicate the wrong destination or interception, not just a harmless inconvenience.

Open complete answer
Are control-panel and AI model licenses included?

Only when the plan explicitly includes them. A VPS or installer alone does not include third-party subscriptions, paid control-panel licenses, or unlimited AI model credits. Review the plan notice and application requirements before purchase.

Open complete answer
Can AI-generated project files be uploaded straight to production?

Review and test them first. Check dependencies, configuration, security, and the database or runtime requirements. A generated ZIP is a project artifact, not a guarantee of a secure or configured production deployment.

Open complete answer
Should I send my root password to AI or support chat?

No. Keep passwords, keys, recovery codes, and tokens out of conversations. If an authorized task needs a server connection, use the dedicated protected access flow when available and grant only the permissions required.

Open complete answer
Will an affiliate earn commission on every renewal?

Only if renewal commissions are enabled and the payment meets the configured eligibility and renewal-count rules. Initial-order commissions, campaign bonuses, discounted-order exclusions, and payout availability are separate rules. Check your current affiliate dashboard.

Open complete answer
Does paying in WHMCS automatically renew a reseller VPS here?

The external system must submit the supported renewal flow and the reseller must meet this billing system's payment and balance requirements. Your end customer paying an external invoice alone does not prove that this service has been renewed. Check both systems before promising continuation.
