a rootserver is basically a vm that you can run e.g your software on it. these rootserver are getting hosted on a hostsystem. A dedicated server however is bare metal, so you pretty much would have a whole system for yourself. Imagine it like being a pc, but just at zap-hostings datacenter. You can install any iso you'd like on a dedicated server

so i basically get a whole a setup like a dedicated

#

but less specs min 64 ram and such

You would get all of that to yourself yes if you got a dedicated machine.

#

We have guides that explain how to setup the machine but you would need to setup the server yourself on it.

i have had dedicated boxes before

#

do you setup a Root Server like you would a dedicated box?

#

Rootservers are pre-setup.

#

You would just connect to it once its online and start installing your game on it.

oh okay i gotcha so if i upgraded could you guys possibly exchange everything over?

#

for a fee?

daring flare
#

We do not exchange files on your behalf mainly due that we don't want to risk any data loss or such.

#

However if you already have a server setup yourself you would most likely not need to change a lot of configurations once you move it

#

Just like the network configurations and such.

#

May I ask would you be getting a windows or a linux rootserver?

subtle sandal
#

Windows

Do you have any experience with windows servers?

#

If not, don't worry.
