Frequently Asked Questions

When you buy a dedicated server hosting plan, you are given root access to the physical machine which is the highest level of administrative access there is. It is as if you are in front of the machine itself, logged in as the root user (AKA superuser). Everything you do from root is your business, and yours only. We don't ever step in unless explicitly requested such as through our support channels.
SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that lets you and your development/operations teams securely communicate with your dedicated server over the internet from anywhere, remotely. Via the SSH protocol, you can connect to your server over an encrypted session as the root user and make changes to your operating system, install software, manage and run your own web servers, databases, virtual machines, containers, and so on. The details of your SSH credentials will be emailed to you when you sign up for a dedicated hosting plan and can also be found by logging in to the Customer Zone.
Your server, and thus your data, is stored in one of our secure data centre facilities located in Cape Town, South Africa. Our facilities employ multiple protective systems to prevent unauthorised access to your server and to mitigate the risk of data loss in the case of a natural disaster.
PCI DSS stands for "Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard" and it is a set of rules and measures that are required for all entities that process, store, or transmit credit card information. PCI DSS-compliant data centres must adhere to these rules, which include strong access control measures and regular monitoring, to ensure the maximum level of security of financial and other sensitive information.
ISO stands for the "Organization for International Standardization", the world's most authoritative organisation for the establishment of industry standards in technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries. An ISO compliant data centre follows the information technology industry's best practices on IT security to safely maintain server and networking operations and protect your data from threats.
