FAQ

Straight answers.

How long until my server is ready?

Linux VPS and game servers are usually ready within minutes of payment. Windows VPS takes a little longer (about 5–10 minutes) because it sets up your Windows account on first boot.

Do I get root / administrator access?

Yes. Linux VPS come with full root, Windows VPS with an Administrator account. It's your server.

Where do I see my real uptime?

Live at up.overnight.host — we publish the real numbers rather than a marketing claim.
