Your CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage are provisioned to your server and not shared with other tenants' workloads, so a traffic spike on another customer's VPS won't impact your application's performance."},{question:"Do you support vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, or both?",answer:"Webdock specializes in instant vertical scaling, upgrade your VPS RAM, CPU, and storage on demand without downtime. For horizontal scaling, you can provision additional VPS instances through our API and load balance across them using your preferred approach."},{question:"Are there bandwidth limits or overage charges?",answer:"All plans include generous bandwidth allocations with no per-GB egress fees. Unlike hyperscalers that charge for every byte leaving your server, Webdock's bandwidth is included in your flat monthly price. If you consistently exceed your allocation, we'll work with you on a plan that fits."},{question:"How do I migrate from AWS, Google Cloud, or DigitalOcean?",answer:"With full root access on every VPS, you can use standard migration tools: rsync, scp, database dumps, or container images. Spin up a Webdock VPS, transfer your data, point your DNS, and you're live. No vendor lock-in or proprietary migration formats."},{question:"What is your disaster recovery protocol?",answer:"We take [2 daily and 3 weekly full-server snapshots](/free-backup-snapshots) automatically, included free on every VPS. If a deployment goes wrong or data is corrupted, restore your entire server state within minutes. You can also create manual snapshots before risky operations."},{question:"How does the Postmark email integration work?",answer:"On Pro plans and above, we [integrate Postmark at the server level](/transactional-emails-with-postmark) for transactional emails. Password resets, order confirmations, and system notifications route through Postmark's high-reputation network for reliable inbox delivery, no SMTP configuration needed."},{question:"Where are your servers located, and are you GDPR compliant?",answer:"We operate our own infrastructure from [our data center in Denmark](/datacenter-dk-dc1), fully owned and built by us. All data stays within the EU, with redundancy in Frankfurt to ensure high availability and resilience. We prioritize data sovereignty, full control of the stack, and transparent data handling."},{question:"What kind of developer support do you offer?",answer:"You talk directly to experienced engineers, no Level 1 scripts. Our team understands LEMP/LAMP stacks inside out and can diagnose server-side issues like memory exhaustion, PHP worker limits, and database crashes.

Because Webdock is a Danish company with no US parent and all servers are located in Denmark, our [European private cloud infrastructure](/private-cloud) sits outside the reach of the US Cloud Act and similar third-country regimes, operating purely under EU law and GDPR.

Our agreements are designed as procurement-ready cloud contracts with clean legal definitions, subprocessor safety commitments and auditable compliance documentation.
