    FAQ VPS-Dedicated

  • What do the setup fees cover?
  • The setup fees are for assembling and connecting your server in our data centers. These are one-off fees which are only applied when your server is first set up.

  • Are all dedicated products compatible with my server?
  • Options are linked to the 3 server ranges, so depending on whether you have an Enterprise server, a Hosting server or Infrastructure server, you will need to check that the option is compatible with your server before placing your order.

  • Why is the anti-DDoS included as standard?
  • Protection Anti-DDoS protection is not an option at PWH for 2 reasons: >> an attack on your server will affect your business and could cause a huge shortfall or service interruption >> your saturated access could flood the common networks and affect other customers So to avoid making anti-DDoS a luxury option, PWH has spread the cost of the investment across all customers and has integrated this innovation into all hosting offers as standard.

  • Why is the new support linked to my server and not to my customer profile?
  • It's highly likely that customers with large server farms will need greater support than customers having only one server, so it seems logical to match the support budget to the number of servers, rather than charging an amount that has no relation to usage.

  • Do you offer a moneyback guarantee?
  • Absolutely, all our VPS/Dedicated servers come with 7 day money back guarantee.

  • What's the lifetime guarantee for components?
  • From the very first day and throughout your hosting service subscription, your servers benefit from 24/7 hardware maintenance, which includes automatic replacement of any defective components for life, free of charge. Exclusively at PWH!

  • Why does my server need a certificate of conformity?
  • PWH has become a world-leading server manufacturer. This achievement enables us to perform compatibility tests on the different technologies within our market. Above all, it allows us to test the server before deployment. This is why we carry out hardware and software conformity tests, ensuring optimum performance on all servers.

  • IPs from a block that has been split will be parked automatically and charged $5.00 /month/IP

  • How do I keep my IPs without having to route them on a server?
  • You can retain them by parking them so you can reuse them at a later date. If you park an IP or an IP block, you will be charged $5.00 /month/IP.

  • I paid for my failover IPs or IP blocks in advance, will you offer any refund?

    Yes, you will be automatically refunded pro rata for the amount already charged from May 1st 2014 (in the form of a credit which can be used to make subsequent payments).

    Bandwidth

  • Beyond the speed, what are the differences between the 3 bandwidth offers?
  • With the Premium, Platinum and Ultimate offers, you benefit from the performance of the PWH network across ever-expanding geographical boundaries. Beyond the PWH infrastructure, you switch onto other provider networks so that you get the guaranteed speed for your chosen offer.

  • What's bandwidth Burst all about?
  • The 1 Gbps and 3 Gbps burst feature is enabled by default on servers connected in 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps (respectively). This service is disabled as soon as your average guaranteed bandwidth consumption exceeds 50%.

  • How is my allocated burst period calculated?
  • Every 6 hours, we recalculate the average bandwidth consumed (based on 95%) and we compare it to 50% of the guaranteed bandwidth. If it's less, we don't change anything, but if it's higher, we will disable the burst temporarily and you won't be able to reactivate it. In other words, for 5% of the month (meaning 1 half day), you are entitled to 1 Gbps or 3 Gbps with no limitation. If beyond that half day you consume over 50% of the guaranteed bandwidth, your burst will be disabled and you can only use your guaranteed bandwidth.

  • Can I disable the burst, what will happen if I do?
  • You can disable the burst by contact to us through email and your bandwidth will return to its guaranteed speed by default.

  • Burstable bandwidth: what is this service used for?
  • Burstable bandwidth is ideal for network load peaks following TV, email and buzz marketing campaigns, or for ensuring on-demand high speed for your software update customers. If you would like to retain a constant high speed, contact us for bandwith offers.
