GOOD TO KNOW
What to know about GLWS Europe dedicated servers.
The decisions that matter before you pick a size.
Map your data flow
Note where your data, backups and third-party services sit. A server's city does not settle legal compliance on its own.
Test real requests
Measure the routes and requests your audience actually uses. A map cannot replace a test.
Choose your operating system
Pick one your software supports, with security updates. Windows images come with separate licence terms.
Keep your own backups
Keep a copy off the server. Snapshots and redundant storage are not a substitute for an independent, tested backup.
Know what is exposed
Write down your open ports, public services and who can log in. Keep only the access you need.
MANAGEMENT
Plan how you will manage it.
Access and recovery are worth deciding before day one.
Administrative access
You administer a dedicated server yourself. Decide who can log in, how you would reach the machine if networking failed, and where your backups live.
- Know who owns the account and who has access
- Keep recovery copies off the server
- Test changes on a copy first

GLWS Europe dedicated servers questions.
Quick answers before you choose a plan.
Does a European location make me compliant?
No. Compliance also depends on data-processing agreements, access controls, retention and how your application behaves.
Which cities can I choose?
London, Amsterdam, Dublin, Strasbourg and Frankfurt.
How should I choose a size?
List the application, database and background processes you will run. Estimate memory and storage together, then leave headroom for updates, logs and busy periods.
How do I configure a plan?
Pick a plan to open the configurator, then choose your operating system, location and billing period and continue to the review step. You can change any choice before you continue.
Where can I learn the basics?
Visit the Linux knowledge base for practical guides on SSH, updates, firewalls, services and backups.
