Frequently Asked Questions

General

GigaDrive is a SaaS service (i.e a managed application hosting platform) featuring high-speed virtual servers for running your favourite applications 24/7/365. It consists of a virtual server and a feature-rich dashboard (i.e web user interface), that helps the user to deploy various general-purpose applications to the remote server in just one click without having any server-side technical skills. These virtual servers are usually connected to high speed internet connection ranging from 1 Gbps (125MB/s) to 10 Gbps (1250MB/s).

Common use cases include the following -

  • Dedicated media server (Using plex, jellyfin, etc.)
  • Personal cloud storage/backup server (Using Nextcloud, Pydio, etc.)
  • Video/Audio conversion/manipulation (Using Handbrake/MkvToolnix, etc)
  • Personal Ebook server (Using calibre)
  • Personal VPN server (Using OpenVPN/Wireguard)
  • Cloud File Download Manager (Using Jdownloader 2)
  • Upload large files to various cloud storage providers (Using ZoomUploader/Rclone/Firefox)

Our SaaS service is based on modern container technology instead of hypervisors like KVM, Xen, OpenVZ, etc., which are used to create a completely Isolated VPS.

GigaTransfer is a Web based App that allows you to transfer files between different cloud drives like Google Drive, Dropbox, MEGA, FTP server etc without using your own data connection or without installing any app on your PC.

Additionally you can perform various operation on your files like split, join, compress/decompress files (using zip/rar), generate thumbnails from your video files.

Yes, you can purchase one-time bandwidth upgrade for your current month.
At the moment, our hosting control panel does not offer one-click web server (nginx, apache, etc) installation. As a result, you will need to manually install and configure a web server application like Nginx or Apache using SSH access. We kindly request that you refrain from running a file hosting website as it is not permitted on our platform.
