Overview

Our offered VQ servers are virtual servers. They do not have dedicated hardware. Instead, the provided hardware gets emulated by the underlying host system. There are several VQ servers that run on one host system.

Administration

You can control your VQ server from your Robot account.

Select your server in robot and under the "vServer" tab you will see buttons to start, stop and reset your server. Additionally you can see the state of your VQ server and you can access your server directly via a VNC Java applet.

Naturally you can also use many other features that are already provided to our root servers. For example, you can use our Rescue System or the monitoring system. All these features can be found under the appropriate tabs.

Java VNC applet

If you want to establish a secure connection to your VQ server you can use our Java VNC applet. You can find it under the "vServer" tab in your Robot. You don't need an installed operating system to use it.

If you click on the tab "vServer" you will find a password which is needed to establish the connection. You will also see a link called "start remote console". If you click on the link you can type in the given password in the text box and click "OK". After this you will see the screen from your VQ server.

The java VNC applet will be downloaded unencrypted, but it will start an encrypted session to your VQ server.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of virtualization is used?

The virtualization we use is based on KVM. We offer fully virtualizied dedicated servers.

Are there are any limitations?

There are no technical limitations. It is possible to make changes to iptables, routing and so on, so you can use services like openVPN if you want. Furthermore, you can install your own kernel.

Which clock speed do the VQ server CPUs have?

All VQ servers have a single core with 2.67 GHz clock speed.

What kind of uplink/connection do the VQ servers have?

The VQ servers have a 100Mbit/s connection. We currently don't offer an upgrade to a Gbit/s connection.

Do the VQ servers have backup space?

Yes, since February 2012 we offer backup space for the virtual servers. Please see: Backup

Is there an automatic backup routine?

The underlying host system has RAID, but you are responsible for backups yourself.

Is there any way to change between different products without cancellation?

Unfortunately, this isn't possible. If you want to upgrade/downgrade you will have to order the new server, transfer all the data yourself, and then cancel the old server.

Is it possible to order additional IPs, failover IPs or subnets for my VQ server?

Currently it is not possible to order additional IPv4 addresses. However, we are working on offering this.

Is IPv6 available for VQ servers?

Yes, you can order a free IPv6 subnet (/64) under the "IPs" tab in Robot.

Which operating systems can I install on my VQ server?

The same images which are available on the dedicated servers are also available for the VQ servers. You can choose between different linux distributions, FreeBSD and Windows. It is also possible to install your own OS using our installimage. Please note that you can't use your own Windows license on our VQ servers.

How can I install an operating system on the VQ server?

For the installation of an operating system on the server you can use our Rescue Systems (Linux or FreeBSD), or a VNC installation.

Is there any way to get an individual VQ server configuration?

This is currently not possible.

Are tun/tap devices usable?

Yes they are usable. You can use e.g. openVPN on a VQ server.
