IP addresses in your plan
Each VPS includes at least one dedicated IPv4 address and a routed IPv6 /64 prefix (providing 2^64 individual addresses). Your assigned IPs are shown on the Overview tab.
Configuring additional IPs
Additional IPv4 addresses can be requested via a support ticket. Provide the reason (e.g. SSL certificates, multi-homed application). We allocate them within 24 hours subject to RIPE/ARIN justification requirements.
Setting up reverse DNS (rDNS / PTR record)
A PTR record maps an IP address back to a hostname. It is required by many mail servers for spam prevention.
To set rDNS for your IP, open a support ticket with:
- The IP address
- The desired hostname (e.g.
mail.example.com) - Confirmation that your A record already points the hostname to that IP
IPv6
Your IPv6 prefix is statically assigned. Configure it inside the VPS:
# Debian / Ubuntu (Netplan)
# /etc/netplan/01-ipv6.yaml
network:
version: 2
ethernets:
eth0:
addresses:
- "2001:db8::1/64"
gateway6: "2001:db8::1"
nameservers:
addresses: [2606:4700:4700::1111, 2001:4860:4860::8888]Run netplan apply after saving.
Checking connectivity
ping 1.1.1.1 # IPv4 outbound
ping6 2606:4700::1111 # IPv6 outbound
curl -4 ifconfig.me # confirm your public IPv4
curl -6 ifconfig.me # confirm your public IPv6
