Details of our Virtual Private Servers
Our virtual private server systems have made a name for themselves in terms of quality and reliability. We make this reliability a reality by offering a broad choice of guaranteed, flexible hardware resources with plenty of capacity, combined with the quality of a multiply-redundant connection and - last but not least - our Support.
Virtual Private Server System Hardware
- The systems used to host our virtual private servers are supported entirely in-house, i.e. we have not procured these hardware resources from a reseller. This means we can respond to incidents quickly, and can also offer purpose-built solutions at a reasonable price.
- The motherboards of the host systems are equipped with powerful multi-core processors from AMD or Intel.
- The technology we have deployed ensures blisteringly fast access times to additional RAM.
- Our latest vServer generation is provided on branded hardware.
Virtual Private Server System Support
Our Support generally responds within a few minutes to incoming email enquiries. In the data centre, a technician from our Emergency Support team is also on call at weekends and on public holidays. We hold at least two spares of the same quality for all installed hardware, ensuring a rapid response even in the event of hardware failure.
Virtual Private Server System Software
The vServers are provided with a current Linux minimal system. The system is delivered with the latest, most stable software versions and has been checked by us for errors. This means that a vServer purchased from us can be used immediately after it has been set up.
Root Access to a Virtual Private Server System
Thanks to root access, the vServer can also be customized to suit individual needs. The customer is free to choose which software to install. All settings of the preconfigured minimal system can of course also be customized by the customer. As a root user, the customer has administrative access to the server, which allows them to freely make installations and settings according to their wishes.
The Server Control Panel
The Server Control Panel (SCP) can be used to hard-reset the root server in the event of a problem. The SCP can also be used to browse traffic statistics or even install new systems at the click of a mouse button.
The SCP is also accessible via our netcup SCP app. Access your root servers, virtual servers and storages any time, anywhere. Download now on Google Play Store and App Store.
Available Operating Systems
We offer pre-configured operating systems for installation as images. In addition, we also offer a wide choice of installation CDs for selection in the SCP. Customers are also free to upload their own CD images and image-only files for later installation.
Also available: Managed Root Server
We also offer a managed root server service for customers lacking the time or experience necessary for independent system administration. This managed root server service can save customers a lot of time and worry. Details of our managed root server options are available here.
Before placing your order, we would ask you to consider that an unmanaged root server, while offering great flexibility, also shifts a huge burden of responsibility onto the customer. Regardless of the provider from which it is sourced, any unmanaged root server needs a systematic approach to data management, which itself requires good to very good Linux skills. An incorrectly configured and hence insecure root server is a major risk factor for potential losses. In the event of a loss, the system administrator bears clear liability - and the sysadmin for an unmanaged root server is the customer. As a responsible-minded business, we provide our customers with a clear-cut warning about this personal risk, although we are fully aware that other hosting companies exist who leave these risks unmentioned, so as to avoid losing potential custom.
