FAQ

GENERAL

WHAT ARE YOUR SUPPORT HOURS?
CAN I UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE MY SERVER AFTER ORDERING?

Absolutely! We have a system that allows you to upgrade or downgrade your server at any time - it's a self-serve system that you can access from the client area. When upgrading, you will only need to pay the prorated amount (the difference between your current and chosen plan), and when downgrading simply open a support ticket for a prorated refund. Here's a guide that explains it in more depth.

WHERE ARE YOUR STAFF LOCATED?

Our support team operates across the globe. We have team members located in every major continent to provide the fastest support at any time of the day.

CAN I TRANSFER MY EXISTING SERVER TO AlienVPS?

Absolutely! We provide Full FTP Access to your server, making uploading worlds/plugins to the server easy. While we do provide a Web FTP Client with Multicraft, we would highly recommend downloading an FTP Client such as FileZilla. If you currently have Minecraft Hosting with another host, we are more than happy to transfer your current files over for you - simply contact our support team with the control panel login details (and control panel link) for your previous host and any other details we'll need to access your files.

HOW LONG DOES SETUP TAKE?

It's instant! Our automated system will automatically activate your server immediately after you complete your order.

WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?

PayPal
PayPal is the safest way to pay online. You can make a payment via PayPal with a Credit/Debit Card, connected bank account or PayPal balance.

Credit/Debit Card
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and more cards directly via Stripe.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?

We offer a 30 day money back guarantee. If for any reason you're not happy with your purchase or simply changed your mind, just contact us for a full refund - all we ask if that you let us know why so we can improve our service for the future.
