We try to set up your order as quickly as possible, but it depends on the payment method and the software image chosen. Choosing Credit Card or PayPal let us start provisioning instantly. VPS, Virtual Dedicated Servers and Webspace plans are usually set up within minutes, but it may take up to 3 hours in case of some software images. The setup of Dedicated Servers can take up to 48 hours (on workdays), depending on your individual configuration and hardware availability.  Choosing "Fast-track Setup" Add-On will fast track your provisioning process especially if manual assembly is required.  Please note: No matter which product you purchase, the setup process will only start after we receive the initial payment from you.  In addition to that, you can also track the status of your order on our website.  Domain registrations are done immediately in general, but it can take up to 24 hours until the DNS is propagated globally and the Domain is ready for use in the Internet. A Domain transfer can take up to seven days, depending on the top-level Domain (TLD).
