Where do I get my access data?

You will receive your access authorisation from us by e-mail immediately after the account has been set up. This is usually sent to you shortly after you place your order and after we will have received your initial payment.

What payment options are there?
We accept payment by bank transfer, Check and PayPal. You can use your credit card with either PayPal. The first payment after you have submitted your order on our website has to be done manually by you. Please just use the payment information provided to you after the order process. Once you have received your login data you can send your payments using our invoicing system located at My Invoices.

How long does setup & domain order take?
We usually set up the domain within a few hours but it may take between 12 and 24 hours before the domain(s) is/are registered. If you would like to transfer an existing domain to us, this normally takes one to three days. (Please note that orders placed using bank transfer as a payment option can only be processed after the first payment has been received).
Since set up is considerably more complex for dedicated servers than for packages, the configuration of a dedicated server can take one to three days.
If you choose the ‘Instant Setup’ upgrade, you will get your server installed for sure within 12 hours after we will have received your initial payment.

When do I have to pay and what happens if I fall into arrears?
It is important that there is a cover period of five days before the beginning of a new monthly period. If this payment is not made we will suspend access to your server at the beginning of the new monthly period. You will receive an e-mail reminder ten days before the beginning of a new monthly period.
Should you fail to contact us regarding a server for which payment is not covered, data loss cannot be ruled out.

Can I order additional domains for my package/server?
Of course – this is easy and can be done at any time. Please use this link to place your order.

Can I make payments in advance? 
Yes, you can add funds to your account to make sure that you have plenty available to cover your server costs. You can recharge your account here Add Funds.

I want to transfer a domain to Cloud Space Hosting
Transferring a domain to us is child’s play. You can use the same order form as for a new domain. You can enter the auth code in this form, too. If you do not have the auth code for the domain, yet, it’s no problem to place the order for the domain and to send us the auth code seperately via e-mail at a later point of time. We can only start the transfer of a domain once we have received the auth code.

Where can I close the account?
A brief e-mail from your authorized e-mail address (for verification) is sufficient for this purpose. The period of notice is 4 weeks.

I cannot transfer my domain to Cloud Space Hosting, but I want to use your DNS servers
If you would like to use domains from third party providers, you can register an unlimited number of DNS entries on our name servers free of charge. You can easily create DNS entries in the Hosting Control Panel under the menu item “DNS Zone Management”. After the creation of the accordant DNS zone and once our name servers are assigned to your domain at your current domain provider, you can administer your domain in a very comfortable and secure way. Only the current domain provider is able to change the assigned name servers. Thus, you will have to contact the domain provider directly, or alternatively use an administration panel from your domain provider if available.

How can I order a new domain?
Before we can register a new domain for you, you will have to place an order on our homepage. Here you can also find an up-to-date domain list with the corresponding prices and contract periods.

Enter the domain name without the extension (e.g. without .com) into the text box which you see below the headline “Check domain”. After this, define the extension by ticking the accordant box or by choosing it from the drop-down menu “Further domains”. Continue with “Check availability”. You should receive a green confirmation line that the domain is available. If you receive the information that the domain is already registered, start over again with an unregistered domain. Now, insert your e-mail address, agree to the general terms and conditions by ticking the accordant box, and follow the order process with the button “Register domain”. It is required that you state the exact e-mail address from your first order, which is, in fact, an authorized e-mail address stored in our data base. After this, an e-mail is going to be sent to your address. This e-mail contains a confirmation link that is valid 24 hours. You need to click this link to finish the order. Once we have received your domain order, we will immediately take care of your request.

How can I order a new product as an existing client?
If you already are one of our customers, you can also make your order on our website simply login.

I´m connected to my VPS via VNC – but all I see is a black screen
If you see a black screen initially, that is correct, just click into the VNC window and press enter. Your operating system will then respond with the login screen.

I´m trying to log-in to my VPS via VNC and I´m using the correct password, however the login procedure fails
If you have problems logging in with your regular password, that might be due to your keyboard layout, the Y and Z keys may be inverted. In this case, you have to hit the z key when you want to type a y and vice versa.
You can easily test your keyboard settings if you type the password into the user name input field (do not press enter), watch what happens then and compare the password with the result of your entry. If you, for example, enter zzz on you keyboard as username, you see that VNC interprets that as yyy.

Is it possible to host my servers in two different data centers?
Yes, this is possible. Both data centers of Cloud SPace Hosting are located in two different cities, being several hundreds miles far apart from each other and being supplied with electrical power of two different electricity grid operators. All your servers can be targeted placed on both data center locations, without any extra costs. Thanks to this geographical redundancy your services stay online, even if a data center is being destroyed by fire, water or other catastrophes or if the operation is interrupted. Feel free to contact our customer support for any realization inquiries regarding the separation of your dedicated servers or virtual private servers on two different locations.

IPv6- What is it all about?

IPv6 is a new protocol which exists already and which presently operates simultaneously with IPv4. It will supersede IPv4 in the future.

IPv4 addresses are the ones known today, which consist of 4 numeric blocks divided by a dot. Due to the ever faster growing Internet structure and the continuously expanding number of devices connected to it, IPv4 addresses have become scarce by now. Technically, however, it is not possible to expand the number of IPv4 addresses, and therefore, a completely new protocol has been created with IPv6. This incorporates a substantially bigger number of addresses and is capable of coping with future challenges and requirements.

How do I recognize a IPv6 address?
Since IPv6 addresses are entirely different from IPv4, they can be identified easily. IPv6 addresses in their normal configuration consist of 8 hexadecimal tuples, divided by a colon. Here is an example of such an IP address:

2607:f8b0:400c:0c03:0000:0000:0000:0069

How can I use IPv6 on my virtual or dedicated server at Cloud Space Hosting?
For establishing a connection with your server at Cloud Space Hosting with IPv6, it is necessary that your ISP already provides IPv6 and that you are using IPv6 when browsing the Internet. For testing purposes as to whether or not you are using the IPv6 protocol already, please try the following link: http://test-ipv6.com

With each VPs or dedicated server, you will get an assignment of 65.535 additional IPv6 addresses that you can use upon your own discretion without limitations. Of course, you will still get one IPv4 address with your VPS or dedicated server, which ensures that you can use all our products, even if you are not yet participating in IPv6.

How do I configure IPv6 on my server?
When placing a new order at Cloud Space Hosting, your dedicated server or VPS will already be prepared and preconfigured with IPv6, so that you can reach your server via IPv6 immediately upon receipt of the login details. The manual setup of IPv6 on your server differs only marginally from setting up an IPv4 address.

With the resynchronisation option only missing files will be restored. This is helpful if any game update added new files, and your game server is not working properly anymore for this reason. Your configuration files will not be overwritten using this option.

Only requirement for this change is a valid A record which targets to the TeamSpeak server IP address.

What is host banner GFX URL and host button GFX URL for?

No.

How is the branding working?
