Friend Hosting

VDS and dedicated prices start separately

The homepage lists VDS plans starting at €3.49 per month and dedicated servers starting at €99.99 per month. These starting prices give a broad entry point, but the terms say actual rates appear in the Personal Account on the payment day.

Payment is due upfront, and the service has no free trial, so the displayed account rate is the figure to check before paying. A request to return unused funds goes through a ticket to the billing department. The terms exclude dedicated-server payments, domain registration, additional services, and special-offer payments from refunds.

For hourly-billed VDS, traffic above the daily limit costs €2.5 per 1 TB, according to the terms. The regulations offer free website transfers when a customer moves from another hosting provider and orders a new service, subject to conditions. Other website transfers cost €20 per hour, with a minimum payment of €5, according to the regulations.

Micro+ and Start list different RAM

Friend Hosting describes its VDS as combining dedicated-server advantages with virtual-hosting configuration flexibility. The homepage’s Micro+ NVMe listing specifies 1 vCPU core, 512 MB RAM, 10 GB NVMe disk, one IPv4 address, and a port up to 1 Gbps.

The Start NVMe listing specifies 1 vCPU core, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB NVMe disk, one IPv4 address, and a port up to 1 Gbps. The homepage also describes dedicated servers as providing the entire physical server and as suitable for medium and large businesses. Buyers comparing these options should match the listed resources to their workload rather than infer performance from the plan names.

Put these questions to support first

Ask how the rate shown in the Personal Account on payment day applies to the service being considered; the terms place the rate there rather than giving one fixed figure in the terms page.

Clarify how the retention period and permanent deletion clause apply to the specific server and billing arrangement. The terms describe retention after a paid period ends and permanent deletion after the applicable period expires.

Ask support which transfer conditions apply to the order, since the regulations distinguish qualifying transfers from other paid transfers. The terms provide a ticket route to the billing department for unused-funds refund requests, while technical support responds to client tickets under the administration policy. Confirm which team handles the issue before choosing a contact route.

Orders, renewals, and transfers follow conditions

For resellers, the provider says its API can automate service ordering and renewal, and it offers integration with the RootPanel billing panel. It also describes a white-label option, allowing resellers to offer services under their own brand.

Website transfers follow separate terms: a transfer can be requested to a new account within 3 days of placing an order, according to the regulations. The provider’s free-transfer offer applies when moving from another hosting provider and ordering a new service, subject to stated conditions. Before ordering, check which transfer condition applies rather than assuming every move qualifies.

Documented options come with boundaries

• The provider says customers can choose equipment locations in different countries, giving buyers a location choice when selecting a service.
• Resellers can use the provider’s API to automate service ordering and renewal, reducing the need to handle each of those actions manually.
• The white-label option lets resellers offer services under their own brand.
• Friend Hosting states that technical support is available 24/7/365.
• Website transfers are free when moving from another hosting provider and ordering a new service, but the provider makes this conditional on its stated terms.

Upfront payment narrows flexibility

Friend Hosting’s terms and regulations set limits on traffic, network handling, support, data retention, and account access.

• Virtual hosting has a traffic consumption limit of 500 GB, according to the Terms page.
• The provider may restrict or block network ports, protocols, or traffic types for security and abuse prevention.
• Technical support does not install or configure scripts or applications, and is limited to Friendhosting.net clients.
• For a monthly-billed virtual server, the Terms page says its image is retained for seven calendar days after the paid period ends; after the applicable retention period, stored data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
• The regulations allow account blocking without prior notice when a user violates the Terms of Use.
• Discount-rate orders replacing current services are excluded from technical-support transfers, except for orders worth more than €50 each, according to the regulations.
• Several details remain unresolved; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

Compare hosting by resources and terms

In general, compare hosting by service type, resource allocation, traffic rules, locations, support scope, backup terms, service commitments, and payment conditions. The useful comparison is how each provider defines those terms and what happens when a workload exceeds a limit or needs support.

Reselling shifts support responsibility

The reseller offer is intended for reselling Friendhosting services, and the provider says resellers must create a new account without other active services. The reseller is responsible for technical support to its customers, so this model shifts customer-facing support away from Friendhosting.

The reseller page lists a 20% discount for resellers with 10 or more active servers, a 25% discount for those with 25 or more, and a 30% discount for those with 50 or more. Reseller accounts are solely for third-party resale; existing services cannot be moved into or out of them, and reseller orders do not qualify for additional promo-code or loyalty-program discounts.

Answers on hosting limits and account rules

What happens when a monthly-billed virtual server’s paid period ends?

The Terms page says a monthly-billed virtual server’s image is retained for seven calendar days after its paid period ends. After the applicable retention period expires, stored data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. The page makes this a retention condition, so buyers should establish how it applies to their server before relying on stored data.

Which server uses do the terms prohibit?

The Terms page prohibits using servers for spam, DDoS attacks, or Tor placement. It also says sanctions rules apply to all services and prohibits use that violates those rules. These are operating restrictions, not service features; check the terms governing the intended workload before ordering.

How does the agreement handle disputes?

The Terms page states that the agreement applies Bulgarian law and assigns disputes to courts in the Bulgarian Republic. This clause defines the stated governing law and forum; it does not describe how a particular dispute would be resolved. Review the agreement with the relevant circumstances in mind.

What support is available for planned maintenance?

The regulations say the team notifies clients in advance about planned server maintenance. They also state that technical support operates 24/7/365.

When can an account be blocked?

The regulations say the team may block accounts without prior notice when users violate the Terms of Use.

Register after resolving the operating terms

Fits if the Personal Account rate, relevant traffic and network conditions, and support scope match the intended workload.

Probably not if the workload depends on support installing applications or on retaining server data beyond the stated period.

Main risk… committing before checking the account-specific rate and whether the applicable restrictions leave enough room for the workload.
