Data Center FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Swiss data center hosting
Review the relationship between the facility, hosting services, network resources, customer access, privacy, and management responsibilities.
What services operate through SwissHosting’s data center infrastructure?
The service portfolio includes offshore VPS, offshore dedicated servers, Swiss colocation, streaming servers, no-log VPN, DMCA-free hosting, private networking, and related custom infrastructure.
What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?
A VPS uses isolated virtual resources on a shared host platform. A dedicated server allocates the physical processor, memory, storage, and hardware-management layer to one customer.
Do dedicated servers include remote hardware access?
The current dedicated server configurations include IPMI access and IPv6 /64 allocation. IPMI can provide remote power, console, recovery, and installation capabilities.
How much monthly transfer is included?
Current VPS configurations include 5 TB, 10 TB, or 20 TB monthly transfer depending on the plan. Current dedicated server configurations include 100 TB monthly transfer.
Does SwissHosting offer SSD, NVMe, and HDD storage?
Yes. VPS options include SSD and a 5 TB HDD storage plan. Dedicated configurations include SSD and NVMe options. Exact additional-drive availability depends on inventory and chassis capacity.
Can multiple servers communicate over a private network?
Private VLAN or interconnection options can support internal application tiers, databases, replication, caching, and management traffic without exposing those paths publicly.
Does Swiss hosting mean that any content is allowed?
No. All services remain subject to applicable law, the SwissHosting acceptable-use requirements, and the terms of service. Privacy-focused or DMCA-free positioning does not create immunity from lawful process.
Who manages the server after deployment?
Unless a managed service is explicitly included, the customer is responsible for the operating system, applications, user access, firewall, backups, updates, monitoring, and application security.
Can I colocate hardware I already own?
Swiss colocation is intended for customers who want to place their own compatible hardware in Swiss rack infrastructure while retaining ownership and administrative control.
