Why does the Bosnia location use OpenVZ instead of KVM?
OpenVZ containers share the host's kernel, which removes the overhead of emulating a full machine. That efficiency lets us offer NVMe storage and a fast port at lower prices than a comparable KVM plan. For most websites, content management systems, databases and business applications, the difference is invisible. It does mean you cannot install Windows, load custom kernel modules or run software that needs its own kernel. If your project requires those features, our team can suggest a nearby KVM location such as Croatia or Serbia instead.
When will my Travnik server be ready?
Once payment clears, provisioning of a Bosnia VPS usually completes somewhere between three and twenty-four hours, and it is frequently faster. You then receive login details, the assigned IPv4 address and a link to the client area by email. If you ordered a control panel, it will already be installed. Because OpenVZ containers start quickly, reinstalls and restarts also finish in seconds rather than minutes, which is useful when you are experimenting with different distributions or rebuilding a test environment several times.
Does the IP address show as Bosnian?
Yes. The Travnik range we use is registered in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its addresses appear in Travnik across the leading geolocation databases. That helps local search visibility and allows you to test how domestic banking, government and media sites behave for visitors in the country. Freshly issued addresses occasionally lag behind in one database or another for a few days. Our support team can request corrections from geolocation providers if an address is listed in the wrong place, which matters for Bosnian banking and e-government portals that check location.
Can I run a VPN or proxy server here?
No. Travnik does not permit tunnelling services; the OpenVZ platform is reserved for websites, mail, databases and applications. Attempts to run proxy software will lead to service suspension. If you need a VPN endpoint in the Balkans, our Croatia, Serbia and North Macedonia locations run on KVM and permit lawful VPN use, including WireGuard and OpenVPN. Support can help you choose the most suitable alternative for your team or project. Balkan teams needing tunnels usually pick Belgrade or Zagreb instead.
Which plan suits a regional news portal?
News portals combine many small database queries with sudden traffic peaks when a story spreads on social media. Pair a middle-tier plan with Redis or a page cache and most regional portals will run comfortably. NVMe storage keeps article searches fast, unlimited traffic removes worries about viral stories, and DDoS filtering helps during politically sensitive periods. If readership keeps growing, upgrading adds resources without moving your site. Sarajevo and Banja Luka readers alike get quick pages from the central Travnik location, and upgrades keep the same address.
What does the support team take care of?
Our engineers are responsible for the node, the network and the data centre. That covers hard reboots if your container stops responding, operating-system reinstalls, hardware replacement and investigations into connectivity issues. Everything inside the container, including software updates, website configuration and application errors, is managed by you. Leaving the software side to you is what keeps Travnik plans inexpensive. Tickets are answered at any hour, and we will always offer guidance or documentation links when a question falls outside the infrastructure.
Can I host email for my company on this server?
Yes. You can install a mail server such as Postfix with Dovecot, or use a control panel like cPanel or DirectAdmin that includes email features. Remember to configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so messages reach inboxes rather than spam folders, and ask support to set reverse DNS for your IP address. Unlimited traffic means large attachments do not create extra costs. For bulk newsletters, follow best practices and our acceptable use policy to protect the reputation of the address.
How do I pay and can I switch billing cycles?
Payment is accepted through PayPal, debit and credit cards, and several cryptocurrencies. Invoices are issued in US dollars, and there are no setup fees. You can start on a monthly cycle and switch to annual billing when you renew, which fixes your cost for twelve months. Renewal reminders are sent by email before each due date, and services remain active while an invoice is open within the grace period. Contact our billing team if you need a different arrangement for a larger order.
