When will the hosting account be activated?
Usually, the hosting account is activated within a few minutes after the payment is confirmed. This is an automated process and requires the installation of basic services for the hosting account, depending on the selected hosting package.
When it comes to VPS activation, the activation time is longer and depends on the type of VPS chosen. VPSs running Linux distributions are activated faster, as this is an automated process involving the installation of the operating system and basic services, which can take up to 30 minutes. As for Windows VPSs – these are installed manually by the technical team and require more time compared to Linux VPSs.
What factors can affect the activation time?
There are several factors that can influence the time required for VPS activation, such as:
- Payment processing: there may be some delays related to payments, due to processing or required verifications.
- Selected operating system: some operating systems with graphical interfaces and system applications may require additional installation time.
- Volume of activation requests: When there are many activation requests simultaneously, the setup time may increase due to the high processing load.
If you have placed an order for shared hosting or a VPS and the activation is taking longer than the estimated time, do not hesitate to contact the technical support team. This way, the order details can be checked and steps can be taken to speed up the process.
