All our VPS instances are accessible via SSH, so they can be managed directly from the command line if necessary.

Whilst we will ensure that the server is technically available at all times, Hipposerve is unable to support any third party or custom applications.

Hippo VPS Hosting FAQ's

Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Difference between Hippo Business Pro and Hippo VPS

Both use the same VPS technology, but the Hippo VPS. Our Hippo VPS plans offer a more powerful range of solutions with much greater flexibility. Instead of just 2 control panel to choose from, there are a multitude of different applications and operating systems you can choose.

You can also build your own fully bespoke server and application, so it's great for developers.

Is a Hippo VPS setup instantly?

Unlike shared hosting, there is a little bit of work we need to do our end in order to provision your Hippo VPS. The time this takes depends on the options you have chosen on your account. We can usually have your account ready for action in between 4-12 hours, and we will keep you fully informed of the process.

Will I need a domain name for my Hippo VPS?

Yes, in order for people to be able to find your website or online application you will need a domain name. The good news is you can get a FREE domain name (certain TLD's only) for one year. (See our T&C's for full details)

What will the hostname be for my Hippo VPS?

The host name of your VPS is totally up to you. When you purchase the server you may well buy a new domain name, or transfer an existing one to us. After this, when you start to configure your server options you will be asked to assign the host name.

Most customers use subdomains such as server1.chosendomain.com or alpha.chosendomain.com. These sub domains are up to you.

Your name servers will often share the same domain as your host name meaning they would be ns1.chosendomain.com and ns2.chosendomain.com.

Don't worry if this all sounds complicated. Our Hippo Helper team will take of this for you!

What control panels does the Hippo VPS come with?

You can choose to use a control panel to administer your application, or manage your server directly without one, if you have the knowledge and expertise.

 

 

 

Does my Hippo VPS come with SSH access?

Yes, your VPS comes with complete root SSH access. You can also access the command line from the KVM in the customer portal.

This is used at your own risk and we recommend you backup your server instance before using the SSH terminal.

 

 

Do I need to have knowledge setting up servers to use a VPS.

Unlike our business pro account, setting up a VPS is a bit more involved. You will need to have some knowledge of web servers in order to administer it effectively.

Whilst we look after all the technical aspects of the server, this is not a managed service and you are entirely responsible for the installed content and its operation.

 

 

Can I host adult content on my Hippo VPS?

No, Hipposerve  has a very strict, zero tolerance adult hosting policy. We do not allow any content that could be considered adult or X rated.

Please check your Acceptable Use Policy for full details of prohibited content.

What happens if I use up all of my storage space?

First of all, this is very unlikely as all our plans have generous storage space.

As you run out of disk space your VPS will not be able to complete all it’s tasks properly and you will start to get errors.

Don't worry though, you can always upgrade to a service with more storage space, and in some instances, you can add extra space.

Just contact our support team here and we will be happy to discuss your options with you.

 

Do you offer a backup service?

Yes. During the sign-up process you’ll be able to order back up services for your server.

We will automatically back up everything once a day and these can be restored by contacting our support team, who can get you up and running.

If you do not choose a backup option, it is up to you to secure your data, or you can purchase one of our Hippo Care Plans and we will mange this for you.

What billing cycles do you offer?

On most of our products we offer monthly, annual or 3 year billing cycles.

In most cases, the longer the billing cycle, the more money you save.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, direct debit and more than 50 different cryptocurrency coins. 

We are also able to accept BACS payments by arrangement for annual or 3 yearly billing cycles only.

Can I resell my Hippo VPS space?

Whilst you can use these VPS services for any legal purpose we also offer specific hosting plans for web designers and developers who want to publish more than one website.

Significant savings can be had by signing up to one of these packages.

The more sites you add, the cheaper each site becomes!

We also take care of all the techie work, so you can get on with your design business
