Day to day

What managed means day to day

  • Friday, 11:10 pmSecurity hole in a WordPress plugin

    We install the update in the maintenance window and check the site. You read about it on Monday in the monthly report.

  • Saturday, 2:20 pmThe game server does not respond

    Monitoring notices after two minutes and restarts it. If that does not help, a person gets in touch within 2 hours.

Do it yourself or managed

Doing it yourself
Updates, checking backups, monitoring, troubleshooting: typically 3 to 6 hours a month
Managed
Reading the monthly report, approving requests: about 15 minutes a month

An estimate for a single server; more or less depending on the software.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference from the "Maintenance & updates" add-on?

Managed includes maintenance, server watch and backup, plus working time, response times and a monthly report. We credit individual add-ons you have already booked.

Can you take over a running server?

Yes, if it runs with us: we check it first and send a quote if it needs extra effort. We migrate servers from other providers beforehand.

What happens when the working time is used up?

At 80% we let you know; after that we only continue with your consent, at €20.00 per 15 minutes started.

Are you available around the clock?

Yes. Response times apply around the clock on all days, including public holidays – except closure days, which we announce at least 14 days in advance.

How do I sign the contract?

Online in the Server Center with your name and confirmation codes; the PDF arrives immediately. We start right after signing. As a consumer you can still withdraw within 14 days and then only pay for the time until then.

Do I need a data processing agreement?

Yes, if you do not use the server purely privately – you sign it in the same step.

Where is my backup?

In your own Cloud Storage, which you book separately (from €1.99 per month). We set up the backup, monitor and test it and restore it when needed. The backups belong to you – also after the contract ends.

How do I cancel?

In the server centre – cancellable monthly at the end of the paid month. Your backups stay in your Cloud Storage.

Which games and applications do you manage?
Games
Minecraft (Paper, Fabric, Forge, Velocity), FiveM and RedM, Rust, ARK: Survival Ascended with cluster, DayZ, Valheim, Palworld, Enshrouded, Counter-Strike 2, Garry's Mod, Arma Reforger, Satisfactory, Project Zomboid
Applications
Nginx or Apache with PHP, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, WordPress, Nextcloud, Docker with Portainer, n8n, Vaultwarden, Uptime Kuma, WireGuard, TeamSpeak 3, Mumble, Node.js

You name other software when you sign up; after our check it counts as an application.
