BUILT FOR EVERYDAY OPERATIONS
Resources chosen around your workload
KVM virtualisation
Run your application in a virtual machine environment. Compare the vCPU, memory and storage included in each plan.
Weekly offsite backups
An additional recovery option for your server. Maintain and test your own backups for business-critical data.
IPv6 support
Plan for IPv6 connectivity and verify your firewall rules and application listeners after deployment.
High-clock compute. Backups included.
Run dynamic sites and application workloads on high-clock CPUs, with automated weekly offsite backups included in your plan. A practical foundation for both everyday compute and recovery planning.

OPERATING SYSTEMS
Start with the operating system you know
Use Linux for web services, containers and APIs, or choose an eligible Windows plan for desktop and Windows application workloads. Available versions depend on the selected plan.

NETWORK / Germany / Frankfurt
Evaluate the route before you move the workload
Customer networks, cross-border routing and external dependencies shape application response times. Compare latency, packet loss and throughput from the networks your users actually use.
| Connection path | What to measure | Suggested method |
|---|---|---|
| Local customers → application | Peak-hour response and mobile packet loss | Ping / MTR at several times |
| Remote team → administration | Cross-border routing, jitter and remote access | Test from your operating network |
| Application → database / payments | End-to-end sign-in, queries and checkout | Exercise real application requests |
SOLUTIONS / Germany / Frankfurt
Build around the workload, from storefront to recovery
Separate customer requests, background jobs and data recovery so each part of the service has an appropriate resource budget.
DACH applications and EU data workflows
Run DACH storefronts, business APIs and background workers in Germany. Assess GDPR and BDSG obligations through processing agreements, access controls and backup policies before handling personal data.
Plan for memory, transfer and image caching
DACH business services and ERP integrations
Run customer portals, stock synchronisation and order APIs for German-speaking markets. Separate batch jobs from interactive requests and keep existing database placement in mind.
Plan for vCPU, database connections and queues
Data governance and tested recovery
Assess GDPR and applicable BDSG requirements for customer records. Include backup copies in access, retention and deletion policies, then test the time needed to restore service.
Plan for storage, retention and recovery time
Size the workload
Budget for your application runtime, database, logs and expected growth rather than choosing by CPU count alone.
Check transfer and billing
Bandwidth is a connection rate, not an unlimited transfer allowance. Review both alongside your billing term.
Deploy after checkout
Choose an OS, review the order and complete payment. Track provisioning in your POWOKE account.
DATA & COMPLIANCE / Germany / Frankfurt
Make data placement part of your deployment plan
Data responsibilities
For EU personal data, review GDPR processing agreements, legal bases, retention and international transfers. Hosting in an EU location does not by itself establish compliance.
IP and platform requirements
Check the dedicated IPv4 allocation and actual IP classification. Data centre addresses are not residential IPs; platform acceptance depends on its rules, account eligibility and use case.
Backups and recovery
The server and its offsite backups may be in different locations. Confirm backup regions, access permissions, retention and cross-border processing for customer or payment data.
DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST
Ready for your first production workload
A practical handover checklist, from sizing the instance to moving live traffic.
Size the whole application
Budget RAM for the app, database and workers together. Leave storage headroom for updates and logs, and keep recovery copies outside the instance.
Test from your audience
Test APIs and websites from your target market. A 1Gbps port is burst headroom; memory, transfer quotas and application dependencies still shape capacity.
Prepare a safe cutover
Apply updates, set up SSH keys and restrict inbound access. Restore a backup in staging, then plan DNS changes and a rollback path.
Check the recurring cost
Review renewal pricing, IPs, licenses and backup charges. Confirm provisioning and resize behaviour before setting a launch date.
Questions before you deploy
Find answers about location, operating systems and billing, plus backup coverage and options as your workload grows.
Is hosting in Germany enough for GDPR compliance?
No. Hosting in Germany establishes the server location, not GDPR compliance for your application. You still need an appropriate basis for processing personal data, processing agreements, access controls and retention policies. Include backups and third-party services when reviewing where data is stored or transferred.
Which operating systems can I install?
Choose from Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, CentOS, Fedora and SUSE, plus Windows Server and lightweight Windows 10 / 11 images. Windows needs an eligible plan: the current entry tier has 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 20 GB SSD storage. Smaller plans cannot select Windows because of resource limitations. Check the OS selector for the versions available with your chosen plan.
Where can I check prices and billing terms?
Click View plans and pricing, then select a plan and billing term to see the total due. Monthly, quarterly, six-month and annual terms are shown where available, with applicable discounts reflected in the order summary. For an existing server, open its management page in your account and choose renewal to review the available terms and renewal quote before paying.
Are offsite backups included in the plan?
Yes. Automated weekly offsite backups are included at no extra charge. Each backup captures data at a point in time; changes made afterwards are not continuously replicated. For frequently updated orders or databases, add daily or more frequent application backups to reduce the amount of recent data at risk during recovery.
Can I upgrade or reset my transfer allowance later?
Yes. Where self-service upgrades are enabled, your server management page lists larger in-stock plans in the same location that support your current billing term. Review the quote and pay, then shut down and power on the server after the upgrade to apply its new resources. A paid traffic reset clears usage for the current allocation; it does not permanently increase your monthly transfer allowance.

FROM ORDER TO LAUNCH
Plan your purchase and acceptance checks
Before ordering
Confirm resources, renewal costs, payment options and delivery timing. Request a product-specific test IP and check routes from your users’ networks.
After provisioning
Match CPU, RAM, storage, IPs and OS to your order. Verify login, remote management access and connectivity.
Before going live
Run a representative workload and test backup recovery. Save your results and open a support ticket if the delivered configuration differs.
