Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about NessNode VPS hosting, server access, operating systems, resources, billing, security and service usage.

01 What is VPS hosting? +
A VPS, or Virtual Private Server, provides an allocated virtual server environment with its own CPU, RAM, storage and operating system. It gives you more control than traditional shared hosting for websites, applications, development and other lawful online projects.
02 What do I receive after ordering a VPS? +
After your order is processed, your VPS service information and access details are delivered electronically to the email address provided during checkout. Keep all server credentials secure and private.
03 Do I get administrative access? +
VPS plans are designed to provide server-level administrative control. Linux environments can normally be managed through SSH, while supported Windows environments can be managed through Remote Desktop. Access depends on the selected VPS configuration.
04 Which operating system can I use? +
Available operating systems depend on the VPS plan and server platform. Supported Linux and Windows Server options are shown on the relevant product page before purchase. Always check the selected plan for its current OS availability.
05 Can I use my VPS for websites and applications? +
Yes. A VPS can be used for websites, online stores, web applications, APIs, databases, development environments, monitoring tools and other legitimate server workloads, subject to the selected plan and applicable service terms.
06 Can I install my own software? +
With administrative access, you can configure your server and install compatible software required for your project. Software and server usage must comply with NessNode policies, applicable laws and payment provider requirements.
07 Is VPS security my responsibility? +
Customers are responsible for maintaining the security of their VPS environment. Keep the operating system and applications updated, use strong credentials, restrict unnecessary services and maintain appropriate backups for important data.
