How can you offer Web Hosting for free?
By adding small header and footer banners on your pages we advertise our sponsors. This generates the revenue required to maintain our service.

Do you really guarantee 100% uptime?
Yes. We run fault-tolerant cluster system with no single point of failure. Even if 25% of our servers crashed your site would still be up and running with no failures or latency.

How long does take to setup an account?
Just 3-5 minutes. The entire signup process is fully automated and does not require any human assistance to setup your account.

How do I transfer my Domain Name?
To map your domain name to your Servik account, just point the DNS servers of your domain name to:

ns1.servik.com (64.72.114.195)
ns2.servik.com (64.72.114.198)
ns3.servik.com (64.72.114.205)

and add your domain name with the Control Panel. As soon as the new dns servers are updated by your domain name registrant, you should map it to your website manually from the Control Panel, under "Edit Virtual Hosts".

Do you support Level 3 and geographical Domain Names (.co.uk, .it, .fr, .ru, etc.)?
Yes, we do! But some of these Domain Names cannot be activated automatically. Please contact our support on this matter.

How much Disc Space is included with each website?
1000 Mbyte. But if you need more, it's no problem! Simply contact our support department. Also, as a helpful tip, the size of your individual files should not exceed 200 Kb.

What does "Cluster-based Hosting" mean?
Cluster-Based Web Hosting means that your site is hosted by several independent web servers. Even if 25% of our servers crashed your site would still be up and running. You can also be sure of 100% uptime because our servers run on specially developed system software based on the most stable OS available - Debian.

What is a Virtual Server?
This is dedicated environment for one site. This includes web-namespace, data space (1000 Mb and more), FTP username, dedicated user and group ID on unix system.

What is a Hostname and what is a Domain Name?
When a Domain Name is pointing to our DNS servers, it allows you to create Hostnames (web-addresses) in your Domain Name, such as "www.domain-name.com" or "xxx.domain-name.com".

What is a Sub-Domain Name?
Subdomain is a 3rd level domain name, part of Hostname in your Domain Name. Example:
"site.domain-name.com" where "site" is a sub-domain
"www.domain-name.com" where "www" is a sub-domain
"domain-name.com" - there is no sub-domain.
