Frequently Asked Questions

What is managed Nginx hosting?
Managed Nginx hosting means VSHN takes full operational responsibility for your Nginx web server infrastructure. We provision the servers on your chosen cloud provider — whether cloudscale.ch, Exoscale, AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure — install and configure Nginx, apply updates and security patches, perform automated daily backups, and monitor the service around the clock. You get a production-ready, enterprise-grade web server without managing any infrastructure yourself.
What is Nginx?
Nginx is one of the most widely used open-source web servers in the world. Originally created by Igor Sysoev and now maintained by F5, Nginx serves as a high-performance web server, reverse proxy, load balancer, and HTTP cache. It is known for its event-driven architecture that handles thousands of concurrent connections with minimal memory usage. Nginx powers a significant portion of the world's busiest websites and is a critical component of modern application delivery.
What SLA do you offer for managed Nginx hosting?
VSHN offers managed Nginx hosting with a guaranteed availability SLA of 99.99% uptime for production-tier deployments. This includes automatic failover, redundant infrastructure, and defined escalation paths. Our best-effort tier is suitable for development and staging environments. All SLA commitments are documented in a written service agreement signed before deployment begins, with clearly defined response and resolution times.
How are backups handled for managed Nginx?
Backups of your Nginx configurations and associated data run automatically every day. Retention policies are configurable to meet your compliance requirements. All backup data is encrypted at rest. Up to 100 GB of backup storage is included per instance. We recommend testing restores regularly as part of your disaster recovery plan, and VSHN engineers can assist with restore procedures at any time.
Can I run managed Nginx on Swiss cloud infrastructure?
Yes. VSHN deploys managed Nginx on Swiss cloud providers by default, including cloudscale.ch and Exoscale, both of which operate data centres exclusively in Switzerland. If data residency is a compliance requirement, these providers are the recommended choice. We also support AWS (Zurich region), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure where Swiss regions are available. Your data sovereignty requirements are documented in the service agreement.
What is VSHN's relationship with F5 and Nginx?
VSHN is an official F5 Swiss Select Partner with certified expertise in Nginx deployment and operations. This partnership means we have direct access to F5 engineering support, early security advisories, and validated deployment patterns. Our engineers hold F5 certifications and follow official best practices for Nginx configuration, performance tuning, and security hardening. This ensures your managed Nginx deployment meets enterprise standards.
Can Nginx be used as a reverse proxy and load balancer?
Yes. Nginx excels as a reverse proxy and load balancer in addition to serving static content. VSHN configures Nginx to distribute traffic across your application backends using round-robin, least-connections, or IP-hash algorithms. SSL/TLS termination, HTTP/2 support, WebSocket proxying, and response caching are all configurable. This makes managed Nginx an ideal front-end for microservices architectures and containerised applications running on Kubernetes.
Do you support both open-source Nginx and NGINX Plus?
Yes. VSHN has extensive experience operating both the open-source Nginx community edition and the commercial NGINX Plus product from F5. The open-source edition is ideal for reverse proxying, static content serving, and basic load balancing. NGINX Plus adds enterprise features including advanced load balancing with session persistence, active health checks, live activity monitoring, and the NGINX App Protect WAF for application-layer security against OWASP Top 10 threats. As an F5 Swiss Select Partner, VSHN can advise on which edition fits your requirements and handle the full lifecycle of either deployment.
