Most plans are set up automatically within minutes of payment. We email you when your server is ready; the login details are in the client area (see Your login details).
Some orders are checked by our team before setup, for example a first order paid with a new card. We may ask for an ID check (see ID checks).
Common questions
How long does setup take?
Most plans are ready a few minutes after payment. Dedicated servers and orders checked by our team can take longer; we keep you posted by email.
