Why are two IP addresses included with every Turkish server?
Each Izmir server comes with two IPv4 addresses from a Turkish RIPE-registered network. Customers often use the first address for the main website or application and the second for a separate service such as mail, a VPN endpoint or a secondary site. Having two addresses from the start also makes it easier to run SSL certificates on different domains or to separate administrative access from public traffic. If you need more Turkish IPs, you can request them with a short justification, subject to availability from the data centre's allocation.
How much traffic is included with the Izmir plans?
Most configurations include 1000 GB of monthly transfer on a 100 Mbps port, which is enough for business websites, online stores and internal applications. The top Xeon E5620 plan includes 3000 GB for publishers and platforms with higher demand. Traffic is measured over the billing month, and our team will reach out if your usage approaches the limit so you can decide between optimising content delivery or upgrading your allowance. Using caching and compression can significantly reduce transfer volume for image-heavy websites. For media-rich shops, serving product photos through an external CDN is another simple way to stay inside the monthly allowance.
Are backups included on Turkish dedicated servers?
Automatic backups are not part of the standard plan, because many customers prefer to design their own backup strategy. However, dedicated backup space can be added at extra cost so that copies of your files and databases are stored away from the main server. We recommend combining this with RAID where available and a regular off-site copy. With full root access you can schedule tools such as rsync, Restic, Veeam or database dumps to run automatically and send data to the backup storage of your choice.
Can I use Windows Server on a Turkish machine?
Yes. Windows Server can be installed during provisioning, and you connect with Remote Desktop using the Administrator account. The licence is billed separately from the hardware rental and depends on the processor configuration. Many Turkish companies run accounting packages, MSSQL databases and in-house .NET applications on Windows servers in Izmir. If your workload does not require Windows, Linux distributions are available free of licence charges and are generally the more economical option for web hosting and containers. Switching from Windows to Linux later only requires a reinstall request.
Is the Izmir data centre reliable?
Its design follows the Tier III model: two independent power routes, battery banks and standby diesel sets mean technicians can service one path while servers keep drawing from the other. Network connectivity is provided by several carriers, so traffic can shift to another route if one upstream has problems. Environmental monitoring and security staff are present on site. While no location can promise zero incidents, this design significantly reduces the chance that a single failure affects your server, and our engineers respond quickly when hardware needs attention.
How long does provisioning take in Izmir?
Standard orders are normally ready within 24 to 72 hours after your payment is confirmed. The timeframe depends on stock levels and on whether you requested a particular operating system or storage layout. Once the machine is prepared and tested, you will receive an email containing the IP addresses and login credentials. If a model is temporarily out of stock, our team will let you know and suggest a comparable configuration so your project does not have to wait longer than necessary.
Can I host websites for Turkish clients as a reseller?
Absolutely. Web agencies and hosting resellers frequently use our Izmir servers to host many client websites with cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. The Turkish IP addresses help clients' sites appear local, and dedicated hardware ensures one busy site does not slow down the others. You are responsible for managing accounts and software on the server, while we maintain the hardware and network. As your client base grows, you can add more servers or move to a higher configuration without changing data centres.
What content is not allowed on Turkish servers?
Our acceptable use policy prohibits illegal activity, spam, phishing, malware distribution and network attacks, and customers must also comply with Turkish law, which regulates certain categories of online content. If you are unsure whether a specific project is appropriate for a server located in Turkey, please contact our team before ordering. We are happy to advise, and in some cases a server in another country may be more suitable for your needs while still offering good latency to Turkish users.
