The support portal is full of valuable resources, before opening a ticket it is always wise to check through the knowledge base, troubleshooters and download guides as many topics are covered.

If your topic is not covered the most effective way to request support help is to open a support ticket in the portal, the ticket should contain as much information as possible to help our technicians help you.

There are two support departments; 1. Support, 2. Reboot - the reboot department is a direct pager to our datacenter technician, who will first check the status of your server, then respond to let you know they are dealing with it, once rebooted they will report the servers condition and close the ticket. Always open reboot tickets as ‘URGENT’.

For the support department please only use urgent for real emergencies.

Emergency reboot 5 to 20 minutes

Application Virtual Private Servers

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Application virtual private servers are powerful solutions for your application driven web site. These application servers are not designed for beginners but are for developers or webmasters with a medium to high level of technical experience in both the application and server software.

Application VPS: Functionally equal to a dedicated sever:

- Appears to have its own processes, users, files and provides full root access
- Each has its own IP addresses, port numbers, filtering and routing rules
- Each can have its own configuration files for the system and app software
- Each can have its own versions of system libraries or modify existing ones
- Each can delete, add, modify any file, including files in /root, and install its own application software or custom configure/modify root application software
