Frequently Asked Questions

Which service should I choose?

VDS is suitable for most users. Choose dedicated server for high performance needs, colocation if you have your own hardware.

Can I migrate from VDS to dedicated server?

Yes, the REXE team provides technical support during the migration process. Your data is transferred securely.

What is the key difference between colocation and VDS?

With VDS you use REXE's hardware and REXE manages the infrastructure. With colocation you bring your own hardware to the REXE data center — the hardware is yours, but the physical infrastructure (power, cooling, network) is provided by REXE.
