Virtual Private Servers

Starting with version 2.3.1 Final and higher, H-Sphere comes with Virtual Private Server (VPS) support. It offers a series of advantages and privileges in that you get your own Linux server with root access, whereas in regular user accounts you could only request non-root access from the administrator. You can do the following in your user control panel:

Checking Virtual Private Server Status
Adding Custom DNS Records
Changing Root Password
Adding Virtual Private Server IP
Changing Server Limits

Checking Virtual Private Server Status

Such as installing Virtual Server takes a while, VPS will not be activated right away after signup. Until it gets activated, you can view only billing info and trouble ticket system in your user control panel. To make sure that VPS is activated and can be administered, you can check the VPS status:

On the user control panel home page, click the Virtual Private Server icon.

If you need to restart VPS, click the Stop it link. To activate it later, click the Start It link.

Adding Custom DNS Records

To configure DNS zones and add custom DNS records:

On the control panel home page, click the VPS DNS Zone icon.

To add a custom DNS record, click the link in the necessary DNS record section.

Changing Root Password

You can log into your virtual server with a root password. In case you want to change it, do the following:

On the control panel home page, click the Change root password icon.

Enter a new password and confirm it again.
Click the Change Edit button.

Adding Virtual Private Server IP

You can add more IPs to your virtual server:

On the control panel home page, click the VPS IPs icon.

To delete existing IP, click the Trash icon next to it.

Changing Server Limits

You can increase or decrease server limits in the user control panel:

On the control panel home page, click the VPS Limits icon.

To change a limit, click the Change icon in the corresponding Action section.
On the page that appears, enter a new limit and click Submit.
