Provisioning time depends on the type of service, selected operating system, configuration, additional software, hardware availability, and server location.

VPS

A VPS with a standard Linux installation is usually provisioned relatively quickly after the order has been processed.

Provisioning may take longer if the selected configuration requires additional software or a more complex operating system installation. For example, installing Windows or a control panel such as cPanel & WHM or DirectAdmin can significantly increase the provisioning time.

In such cases, the VPS becomes available after the operating system and selected software have been successfully installed and configured. The exact time depends on the selected software and the installation process.

Standard Dedicated Server configurations

Most standard Dedicated Server configurations are typically activated within around one hour. The exact provisioning time may vary depending on the selected operating system and any additional server settings or configuration required.

Dedicated Server upgrades

If your server requires a hardware upgrade, such as additional RAM or storage, provisioning may take longer. When the required components are available at the selected location, hardware upgrades may take up to 48 hours.

If the required hardware is not currently available, the provisioning time will depend on component availability and delivery time.

Custom Dedicated Server configurations

Custom Dedicated Server configurations require additional preparation and typically take at least two weeks to provision. The actual timeframe depends on the server configuration, hardware requirements, component availability, and selected location.

Note:
The provisioning times above are estimates and may vary depending on the specific order. If you need a server by a particular date or require a custom configuration, contact HostZealot Support before placing your order to confirm the expected provisioning time.
