Frequently asked questions

Where should I start in the DataHouse knowledge base?

Start with the infrastructure decision: data center, colocation, dedicated server, VPS, Cloud Pro or private cloud. Then move to migration, DNS, mail, backup, compliance and diagnostics.

Does the knowledge base replace a service proposal?

No. The knowledge base organises technical decisions and links to DataHouse services, configurators and tools, but it does not replace individual sizing, pricing or architecture work.

How should I use problem pages and sector pages?

Use problem pages for tasks such as relocation, backup, NIS2/GDPR, accounting systems or KSeF, and sector pages when the workload belongs to finance, public administration, healthcare or another regulated environment.

Will DataHouse build an IT and data-center glossary?

Yes. The roadmap now includes a glossary for data center, cloud, networking, DNS, mail, security, backup, virtualization and compliance terms.
