DDoS protection on everything
Included on every service at no extra charge. Not a tier, not an add-on, not a surprise line on month two.
Services
A catalog led by dedicated machines.
Twelve service lines, ordered by what they are actually for. Every one of them includes DDoS protection, backups, and a real person on the ticket — the things other hosts bill separately.
Backups and snapshots included
Weekly snapshots as standard on VPS, daily where the service supports it, with upgraded retention available. Backup infrastructure is physically separate from production.
99.9% uptime SLA
Published in plain English with a credit schedule you can read, and credits you claim from a form in the portal rather than a letter to legal.
No setup fees, no contracts
Month-to-month on everything. Cancel any month. Discounts for paying quarterly or annually are optional, never required.
Free migration assistance
We help you move onto VPS and dedicated at no charge, and OS reinstalls stay free on request for as long as you are a customer.
72-hour money back
Unconditional on VPS plans. If it is not what you expected in the first three days, you get your money back without an argument.
Engineers answer tickets
A support team on the queue 24/7, with owners on escalation. Twelve-hour standard first response; one hour on Dedicated, Colocation, and Managed Data, and available on VPS for $5 a month.
Transparent hardware
Real CPU models and real specs, published. You will never see the words 'up to' on a spec sheet here.
Honest inventory
IP addresses and hardware upgrades are sold from real stock. When something runs out you get a waitlist, not an oversold node.
