Is outbound port 25 open?
It is closed by default. For services bought for a term of 3 months or longer, we open it when you ask in a support ticket. Until then, send mail through a relay on port 587.
Do I get full access?
Yes. You get root on Linux and Administrator on Windows.
Can I move to a larger plan later?
Yes. Open the service in the client area and choose a larger plan; the guide on upgrading a service has the steps.
Where do I see the price?
On the order page: prices follow the live catalog and your currency, so they are not written in this guide.
