Question 1

How is a virtual server different from shared hosting?

Accepted Answer

On shared hosting your neighbours' projects share one system with you: their load shows up on your site, and the set of software and settings is limited by the platform. A virtual server is an isolated environment with its own cores, memory and NVMe storage: you choose the operating system and the services you need, and neighbours on the hardware do not affect your configuration.

Question 2

Who is a virtual server suitable for?

Accepted Answer

A virtual server suits projects that need predictable resources and their own settings: websites and online shops with steady traffic, corporate services, development and test environments, small game and mail servers. When a plan's resources are no longer enough, the next step is a dedicated server, where the whole machine's performance is yours.

Question 3

How does the server affect site speed?

Accepted Answer

Response time comes from two things: the server's resources and the distance to the visitor. Dedicated cores and NVMe storage remove the dips that appear when capacity is shared with neighbours, and choosing a location shortens the path of the request — for an audience in Russia these are the Moscow and Novosibirsk sites. You can measure the latency to our locations in advance: Looking Glass has ping, traceroute and a speedtest.

Question 4

Does the server affect a site's search rankings?

Accepted Answer

Loading speed and availability are among the ranking factors of Yandex and Google: a slow or unreachable site loses positions. A virtual server covers both parts — resources are not shared with neighbours, and availability is backed by a published 99.9% monthly SLA with compensation. No hosting provider can guarantee search positions: they depend first of all on the site itself.

Question 5

Can I upgrade the plan if resources run out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The configuration is changed in the server management client area — this works with both ready-made plans and additional configurations. If the project outgrows a virtual server entirely, the next step is a dedicated one: there the full power of the physical machine belongs to you.

Question 6

How soon is the server ready after payment?

Accepted Answer

The server is usually issued automatically within a few minutes. The password arrives by email right after activation and is always available in the client area — in the server card, under the connection details. Some locations involve a manual check: if the handover is taking longer, message support and we will speed it up.
