Virtual hosting, VDS, and dedicated servers

Friend Hosting lists virtual hosting, VDS, and dedicated servers as its service types. The vendor describes VDS as combining dedicated-server advantages with the configuration flexibility of virtual hosting.

The vendor describes dedicated servers as providing the entire physical server and as suitable for medium and large businesses. It also says its equipment is placed in reliable, time-tested data centers and that customers can choose locations in different countries. Treat those as provider descriptions; check the relevant product’s resources and location before ordering.

Transfers, service orders, and renewals

The advertised free transfer applies when moving from another hosting provider and ordering a new service, subject to the stated conditions. The regulations allow a request to transfer websites to a new account within 3 days of placing an order, according to the regulations checked 2026-10-30.

The homepage advertises professional support and free site transfer, while the regulations define conditions for transfers. Friend Hosting says technical support is available 24/7/365 and responds to client tickets under its administration policy. Planned server maintenance is communicated to clients in advance, according to the regulations.

The regulations distinguish transfers tied to discounted replacement orders from other transfer requests. Before placing an order, check which transfer condition applies and whether support handles the requested move.

Questions to put to support before registering

Ask which conditions apply to the transfer included with a new service order. The provider describes free transfers, but the regulations define eligibility conditions; clarify the scope for the specific move.

Ask what technical support will handle after registration. The regulations exclude installing or setting up scripts and applications, and limit technical support to Friendhosting.net clients.

Ask how support treats a discounted order that replaces a current service. The terms distinguish those transfers from ordinary requests, so get the applicable process in writing before ordering.

Traffic caps, refunds, and account restrictions

The terms and regulations set limits on traffic, refunds, acceptable use, and network access; these vendor-stated conditions are checked 2026-10-30.

Dedicated servers for stated business sizes

Friend Hosting describes dedicated servers as providing the entire physical server and being suitable for medium and large businesses. The vendor also states that it provides services to clients from all over the world.

That audience description does not establish whether a particular server fits a workload. Compare the product’s listed resources with the demands of the service, then clarify its billing and use conditions before ordering.

Compare hosting by resources and service terms

In general, compare hosting types by resource allocation and expected traffic, then check how billing, locations, backups, and support are defined. Ask each provider for written service commitments and compare the conditions that apply to your intended use.

Questions about Friend Hosting’s written terms

How does Friend Hosting handle unused-funds refund requests?

Unused-funds refund requests can be submitted through a ticket to the billing department, according to the Terms page checked 2026-10-30. The terms also exclude certain payment categories from refunds. Check whether the intended purchase falls within an excluded category before paying.

What happens to a monthly-billed virtual server image after its paid period?

The Terms page says an image for a monthly-billed virtual server is retained for seven calendar days after the paid period ends. The terms separately state that stored data is permanently deleted after the applicable retention period. Buyers relying on stored data should account for that stated retention condition.

What does the reseller white-label option cover?

Friend Hosting’s reselling page says resellers can offer services under their own brand through a white-label option. The page also describes an API for automating service orders and renewals. Confirm the operational division between the reseller and the provider before setting up a resale workflow.

Who handles scripts and applications after registration?

The regulations say technical support does not install or set up scripts or applications. They also say technical support is unavailable to people who are not Friendhosting.net clients. Buyers should establish who will maintain their own software and which account qualifies for provider support.

Can the provider restrict network ports or traffic?

The Terms page says the provider may restrict or block network ports, protocols, or traffic types for security and abuse prevention. This condition concerns network access, so clarify whether the intended service’s required connections are compatible before ordering.

Register after the material terms are clear

Fits if the selected product’s resources, traffic conditions, and billing terms match the planned workload.

Probably not if the work depends on a refund category the Terms page excludes, or support installing scripts or applications.

Main risk… is committing payment before clarifying which service terms apply to the intended use. Check the chosen product’s conditions and get answers to relevant billing and support questions before registering.
