All prices are in Egyptian pounds, and on the order page you can choose to pay monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months or yearly.

Question 3

Do I get full Root access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Linux VPS plans include full Root access, allowing you to manage server settings, install supported software and configure your environment.

Question 4

Which Linux distributions are supported?

Accepted Answer

Supported distributions can include Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux depending on availability and compatibility. On the order page you choose the distribution and its version from the operating-system list, which currently offers Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and CentOS releases. Rocky Linux is not in the list at the moment, so ask our support team before ordering if your project needs it.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use compatible control panels such as cPanel, DirectAdmin, CyberPanel or other supported panels according to your license and server requirements.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Linux VPS or Windows VPS: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

A Linux VPS is the usual choice for websites, PHP, Node.js and Python apps, MySQL or PostgreSQL databases and hosting panels, and the Linux plans listed cost less than Windows plans with the same RAM and CPU. Choose a Windows VPS if your software only runs on Windows or you need a remote desktop over RDP.

Question 10

Do I need technical experience to run a Linux VPS?

Accepted Answer

You need basic skills to connect over SSH, update the system, configure the firewall and take backups — or you can install a control panel that makes these tasks easier. The first steps after receiving a Linux VPS guide walks through them in order.

Question 11

Where do I get a control panel licence?

Accepted Answer

cPanel/WHM, DirectAdmin and Plesk licences are available on the extra services page, or you can use a free compatible panel such as CyberPanel instead.

Question 12

Who manages, updates and secures the server?

Accepted Answer

Under the acceptable use policy, once the login details are delivered the server’s files, settings, updates and security are the customer’s responsibility, and the basic service is external monitoring of uptime and access. Managing the server from the inside is a separate service you can request through support.

Question 13

Does a Linux VPS include backups?

Accepted Answer

Regular backups of your data are your responsibility unless you subscribe to one of the backup plans; their storage plans are on the extra services page.

Question 14

Is there a setup fee on top of the monthly price?

Accepted Answer

Linux VPS 1 to Linux VPS 5 have a one-time setup fee of EGP 200, and plans 6 to 10 show no setup fee. The amount is on each plan card, and the order page shows the final total for the billing period you choose before you pay.

Question 15

How do I order a Linux VPS?

Accepted Answer

Click the order button on the plan you want to open the order page in our client area. There you choose the billing period and the Linux distribution from the operating-system list, enter a hostname and root password, and can add optional resources such as extra RAM, CPU cores, storage or an additional IP address; the price of each add-on is shown before you pay.

Question 16

Can I cancel my order and get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Under the acceptable use policy, you can cancel a Linux VPS order and have the amount paid refunded, minus licence fees and setup fees, if you ask within 24 hours of ordering on a monthly subscription, or within 48 hours at most of the order date on a yearly subscription. The details are in our acceptable use policy.

Question 17

What happens if I renew my server late?

Accepted Answer

Under the acceptable use policy, a VPS is temporarily suspended after 12:00 AM on the day its service period ends, and daily late fees apply from the suspension date until the amount due is paid. If the server is not renewed within 5 days of the expiry date, it is permanently suspended and all its data and files are deleted and cannot be restored, unless management approves a payment extension you requested.
