FAQ
✴️How long will it take to install the server?
Usually they try to deliver the server within 1 business day, but depending on the number of orders, the installation period can take 14 days. If you have not received the server after 2 weeks from the order, you are entitled to demand a full refund from them. Reporting month (billing period) starts when the server is ready, not the time of payment. VPS (virtual servers) orders are activated within 5-15 minutes after payment.
❔Who owns the equipment?
Absolutely all hardware belongs to their company. They have constant physical access to each server, which allows them to fix any technical problem at any time of the day or night. If you want to rent a server that is not among the offered rates, they can assemble a server of any configuration for you, to order.
👉Where are the servers physically located?
When ordering a server, in the detailed description, they always specify the country of its location. Please note that they will try to work only with those DCs, which show good results in the return of traffic in the RF. At the moment they install all their new equipment in data centers First-colo (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), WorldStream (Naldwijk, Netherlands), DataLine (Moscow, Russia), Datasource (Hünenberg, Switzerland), Global IP Networks (Dallas, USA), Volia (Kyiv, Ukraine).

A distinctive feature of the company is the first-class support. Thanks to Fornex, we were able to solve the problem of rapid growth, when the company did not yet have full-time developers, but already had a huge audience. Technical support specialists helped to deeply analyze the problem of our code (!) and eliminate it in production.
Monitoring 24/7 allows you to eliminate the cost of maintaining your staff of system administrators. They effectively help to protect your website against DDoS attacks for a reasonable price. They are open to proposals of an organizational nature and ready to solve problems.
The task of support specialists is not to get as much money as it possible from the customer, but to build an effective infrastructure for the customer at a reasonable cost, because the company's management understands that if the customer's business is going well, then Fornex will gain a profit in the long run.
I am grateful to the company's specialists for their direct participation in the development of our project and recommend their services for both small and large projects.
My rating is 5 out of 5! Guys are great!
I got all this from the company Fornex - already the third one in a row I've tried.
What I like: relatively inexpensive, fast response of technical support via ticketing system on any issues, support for Joomla CMS, money back in case of failures, refund of unused funds for services, Cpanel, and help in moving the site over to their hosting.
What I do not like: restrictions on the number of valid files.
In general, I'm satisfied with the provider, and if Fornex keeps working the same way, then I will continue to be their client.
Installed wireguard there, everything works.
Connection speed at the highest level, payment per month is only 2.5 euros.
I advise you to use!
Now the price and convenience are more important. For $5 you can get hosting where you can host 5 websites or even the unlimited websites number for the same money. The choice is obvious!
I want to say a special thank you to the Fornex.com Support team. The guys are great, united and they quickly solve all the arising problems.
Those people who have not yet found their convenient hosting - I RECOMMEND to choose Fornex!
Fornex has enough space for websites, the price is reasonable, you can choose the server where it is more convenient for you.
A BIG plus, those support is very fast, helps, explains clearly.
Thank you, improve your service and also keep reasonable prices)
Separately, the quick feedback from the support service deserves respect.
The admin panel is made conveniently, before that I mainly used hosting, and recently I needed a VPS for work - in a matter of minutes I set everything up, connected it, no problems at all!
Separately, I want to note the technical support - great guys who will very quickly come to the rescue and deal with my situation!
Support -0
Reliability - can't indicate for sure
Speed is good
Price is affordable
The interface is user-friendly, there are great guides, and the price is more than democratic in my opinion. One more advantage (for me) is location in Germany.
In general - I put 5 out of 5!
I was looking for hosting with a server in Europe and the USA with Russian-speaking support. I chose Fornex: the price on the plan Start - is 3 euros. I got the opportunity to host up to 150 domains + 150 subdomains and an infinite number of databases. This was important for me, cause I develop websites and have to park a lot of domains. Provided HDD space in this tariff is 10Gb that is enough for work.
I was very pleased with the technical support, which always answered within the stated hour and solved my problems. Thank you guys!
There is the best and simple navigation in Account.
After I buy the hosting service on Fornex and use it almost year. There are no problems. Fast support, good price.
I recommend to work with Fornex
In 2021, my choice fell on this provider, and I have not regretted it for a moment. I recommend to all.
- Acceptable prices;
- Convenient management;
- Reliable protection.
I highly recommend this service
I recommend it as someone who is directly involved in application development and deployment.
The control panel is very user-friendly, and I was able to set up my website and email accounts without any issues. The uptime has been excellent, with no noticeable downtime or slow loading times. The customer support team has been very responsive and helpful whenever I have had questions or issues.
Overall, I am very satisfied with XYZ hosting and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a reliable and affordable hosting solution.
Firstly, the customer support here is at the highest level. The hosting staff is always ready to help and answer any questions. They solve problems quickly and provide detailed information on how to solve the problem.
In addition, hosting provides high site speed and stability. I have never encountered problems related to the operation of the site. Of course, blogs and personal home pages are not the most highly loaded services, but still...
It is also worth noting that the prices for hosting services are available and correspond to the quality of the services provided. I think this is a great choice for those who are looking for quality hosting at a reasonable price.
In general, I am very pleased with the work of the hosting “Fornex” and recommend it to anyone who is looking for reliable and high-quality hosting.
P.S. Mir cards are accepted.
What really sets this hosting provider apart is their exceptional customer support. Whenever I've had a question or needed assistance, their support team has been incredibly responsive and helpful.
Their pricing is also very competitive, and I appreciate the value I'm getting for the cost.
I highly recommend this hosting provider to anyone in need of reliable and efficient hosting services.
We highly recommend not to purchase the cheapest hosting package. Usually, they come with a row of issues: the server is often down, the hardware is outdated, lousy and slow support, registration and payment errors, etc.
For your convenience, we have created a tool that can help you to choose the right hosting package for you just by answering a few simple questions.
CMS is a content management system. A lot of hosting providers offer so-called CMS optimized packages. However, this is a marketing trick because most CMSs do not have special software or hosting requirements.
Trial period is a period of time, usually from 7 to 30 days, during which you can use the hosting services for free to test them.
Moneyback policy allows the customer to receive a refund for his order within a certain period after the purchase.
OS means the operating system is installed on the server. We recommend to choose Linux hosting unless your website requires another OS.
Bulletproof hosting - it’s a type of service that allows to host almost any type of content, even the restricted one (adult content, warez, spam etc). Bulletproof hosting providers do not remove your content in case someone reports an abuse.
Unlimited hosting - refers to companies that provide packages with unlimited disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, databases or email accounts, etc. This is usually a marketing trick but sometimes you can find something worth a try.
Secure hosting - it’s a type of service when the hosting provider is mostly responsible for the security of the user’s account: updates the software installed on their servers, provides an antivirus and malware scanner, firewalls and basic anti-DDoS protection, etc.
DDoS-protected hosting - companies that provide packages that include anti-DDoS protection. These packages are considerably more expensive than regular ones. Nevertheless, they’re totally worth their price because the company will ensure that your website is secured from cyber attacks.
Most websites require MySQL and PHP installed on the server to work correctly. Almost all hosting providers support these technologies.
ASP.NET is a Microsoft web application development platform.
The more comfortable the control panel is, the easier will it be for you to change the website and hosting account settings.
Most hosting providers that are in TOP20 in our rating offer user-friendly control panels, such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. That’s why we recommend to pay attention to other, more important parameters, while choosing a hosting provider.
