Containers with Incus or full virtualization with KVM

The standard plans run as containers under Incus, the successor to LXD. They share the host system's kernel and start in seconds. The KVM plans are fully virtualized, with their own kernel and a free choice of operating system, including a graphical interface via the browser console.

  • Containers with Incus: fast startup, full administrator access within the system
  • KVM: own kernel and own kernel modules, for example for VPN or custom firewalls
  • Free choice of operating system, including your own images
  • Graphical interface possible, access via the browser console
  • Custom network configuration down to kernel level

Frequently asked questions

Can I download backups of my server?
Yes. You create backups yourself, download them as an archive or have them sent to your own SFTP server on a schedule.
Can I set DNS and reverse DNS myself?
Yes. You set the reverse DNS (rDNS) entry for your IP address yourself. If you connect a domain you have with us to the server, we create the DNS records automatically and update them when the IP address changes.
What is a vServer?
A vServer is your own server on shared hardware. You have full administrator access and your own IP addresses, and you decide on the operating system and software yourself. This is different from web hosting, where the environment is predefined.
What is the difference between a vServer and web hosting?
With web hosting, we set up the website, mailboxes and databases for you and keep the system up to date. With a vServer, you manage the operating system yourself and can install any software.
How quickly is my server available?
Usually within minutes. The server is set up automatically and you receive the access details by email.
Which operating systems can I install?
When you order, you choose from the images provided, and you can reinstall the operating system yourself at any time.
Can I switch later?
You can switch to a larger plan at any time. The change is billed to the exact day.
What network connection do the servers have?
Each server is connected at 1 GBit/s.
Is traffic limited?
No. Traffic is unlimited and not throttled. Fair use applies: if your usage stays far above that of comparable customers over a long period, we will contact you. Details are in section 3.2 of our Terms and Conditions.
What is the contract term?
Twelve months for new orders. After that, the contract continues on a monthly basis and is cancellable with a notice period of one month. If you pay for twelve months in advance, you receive a 5% discount.
Where are the servers located?
In a German data center. Your data stays in Germany.
How do I keep my data when I reinstall the server?
A reinstallation completely resets the storage. So that you do not have to download your data and upload it again, you can book a Rettungsverzeichnis in the customer portal: additional storage that is available to your server and is kept during the reinstallation. For containers, it is available under /mnt/rettung after a restart. For a server with KVM, you mount it yourself. You move the data there, reinstall and move the data back. The directory runs for one month and then ends automatically. If you wish, it renews monthly until you turn this off. You can find a guide in our Help section.
What is the difference between the rescue system and the Rettungsverzeichnis?
The rescue system is an emergency operating system. It boots instead of your system when the server no longer starts, and you can repair your storage from there. It is free of charge and can be enabled in the customer portal at any time. The Rettungsverzeichnis, on the other hand, is additional storage for your data that you book for the duration of a rebuild. The two can be combined.
Can another person manage my server?
Yes. In the customer portal, you set up separate access for this person and define what they are allowed to do, for example restart the server and open the console, but not view invoices. Only you can cancel, place orders, or change account details and the payment method. You can find a guide in our Help section under “Access for additional users”.
What do I get for recommending Glowfish?
Your customer portal contains a personal referral link. Anyone who orders through it receives a 10% discount on their order. You receive Glowcoins worth the first monthly amount and apply them to your own invoices. Details are in our Help section under “Referrals and Glowcoins”.

Access for additional users

A person who manages your server can get separate access, for example for the console and restarts, without access to invoices or cancellation.

Permissions per server and action

You decide separately for each server and each action. For example, one person may only restart the server, while another can also open the console.

Separate login for each person

Each person logs in with their own email address and confirms every login with a code sent by SMS. You do not need to share your own password.

Contract changes by the contracting party only

Only the contracting party can make cancellations, orders and changes to master data or the payment method.

Display without real names

You see the email address and a description that you assign yourself. In turn, you appear under a name of your choice, or under a pseudonym if you prefer.

The feature is included in every plan and is not charged separately. Guide: access for additional users
