Why does NVMe matter for a Peruvian website?
Many Peruvian users browse on mobile connections, where every delay adds up. NVMe storage connects directly to the processor over PCIe and responds to database queries and file requests far faster than older SATA drives. That shortens the time your server needs to build each page, which is especially noticeable for WooCommerce stores, booking systems and news sites with large archives. Because every Lima plan uses NVMe, even the entry tier benefits, giving small businesses the same disk speed as larger customers.
Should I choose a shared or dedicated port?
A shared 1 Gbps port suits most websites, online stores and applications, since each host's uplink has plenty of capacity and the price is lower. A dedicated port reserves the full bandwidth for your server, which gives consistent throughput for streaming, large file transfers or applications with heavy, continuous traffic. If you are unsure, start with a shared port and monitor performance; you can move to a plan with a dedicated port later without changing your server's IP address. Most Peruvian customers start shared.
Can I host a tour-booking site for Cusco and Machu Picchu?
Yes. Tourism is a major industry in Peru, and tour operators, hotels and travel agencies selling trips to Cusco, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and the Amazon need fast, reliable booking sites. A Lima server keeps the admin side quick for local staff, while a CDN delivers photo galleries rapidly to travellers overseas. NVMe storage speeds up availability searches, and an unlimited plan removes any concern about image traffic. Upgrade before the dry-season peak if you expect heavy demand. Inca Trail permits sell out early, so availability pages see sudden rushes.
Why is Lima Linux-only?
The Lima platform is optimised for Linux, keeping it efficient and affordable without Windows licence costs. You can install CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux, which run nearly all web servers, databases, e-commerce platforms and development tools. Control panels such as cPanel, DirectAdmin, HestiaCP and CyberPanel provide a graphical interface for managing sites. For Windows-only software, ask us about Buenos Aires or Santiago. That covers almost every Peruvian web project. Most Peruvian projects never need Windows. Simple and efficient.
Can I accept Yape and Plin payments on a Peruvian shop?
Yes. Yape, Plin and Peruvian card processors are available through local payment gateways that offer plugins for WooCommerce and other platforms, or through APIs for custom stores. Most Peruvian shops fit a middle tier. Update the shop and its payment modules regularly. Yape's popularity means many shoppers expect it at checkout, and a quick confirmation page reassures them that the payment went through. Culqi and Niubiz are common gateway choices for cards. Niubiz and Culqi both have documentation for common shop platforms.
How is the Lima facility protected against earthquakes?
Lima lies in one of the world's most seismically active regions, and Peruvian building codes reflect that. The facility is engineered to local seismic standards, with structural design and equipment mounting intended to withstand tremors, while redundant power and cooling help keep servers running if the grid is affected. We still recommend keeping backups in another region or country, so that your data remains recoverable in any exceptional event, and monitoring your service from an external location. Local customers tend to ask about this first.
How much transfer will my Lima server use?
Plans range from 1 TB per month to unlimited. A typical company website or small online store uses well under a terabyte, since a terabyte covers millions of page views for sites with optimised images. Media-heavy sites, video content, busy news portals and large stores benefit from unlimited plans. The client area shows your usage, and you can move to a larger allowance or unlimited traffic without changing servers if your audience grows faster than expected. Gamarra textile sellers typically start small.
What if my Lima server stops responding?
Reboot first, then inspect the firewall through the console. Lima engineers can take over from there. Hardware failures are fixed at no cost. Software problems stay with you, yet Lima tickets always receive our host-side observations. Hardware faults are repaired at no cost, and Lima engineers can restart the guest, inspect the host and trace the network path. Software faults inside the operating system remain yours to fix on an unmanaged plan, but we always share host-side observations in Spanish or English.
