VPS Questions

Can I have RDNS added to my VPS?

What is RDNS?

Reverse DNS (rDNS or RDNS) is a Domain Name Service (DNS) lookup of a domain name from an IP address. A regular DNS request would resolve an IP address given a domain name; hence the name “reverse.”

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. We access information online through domain names, like google.com. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load the website onto your screen.

Can I have RDNS enabled for my service?

For VPS we currently do not have that option available. RDNS is currently only available for our Dedicated Servers.

What SSH clients can I use to SSH into my VPS?

What is SSH?

The Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. Its most notable applications are remote login and command-line execution. The SSH protocol (also referred to as Secure Shell) is a method for secure remote login from one computer to another.

The Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) normally operates on port 22.

A looking glass is a network utility which is made user-friendly for everyone to use. It allows you to execute network related commands within a remote network, usually that of an ISP. We offer IPv4/6 ping, mtr and trace-route requests. We also offer speed test files so you can accurately measure speed.
