Installation
This provider allows us to select which OS we want installed when the service is provisioned. After the service is activated, this provider uses Virtualizor VPS control panel to manage the OS, Reverse DNS and the IP addresses of the VPS. This provider allows us to reinstall the OS 30 times per month.
The reverse DNS management is provided in the VPS control panel by this provider. Set the reverse DNS for your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Now, login to the VPS control panel and click the Manage button next to the server you want to manage.
Next, set the hostname listed above, using the hostname field. This field is just a label to make it easy to visually manage all of our servers and has no actual impact on the server, except for labeling.
Once the service is activated, this provider automatically provisions the IPv6 subnet. The IPv6 subnet should appear in the Settings tab of the VPS control panel.
Next, navigate to the Settings tab and click on the Manage IPv6 Subnets tab. This control panel sadly makes us add each IPv6 address to the control panel one at a time. For our setup we normally want to add 100 IPv6 addresses to the server. This provider advertises and provisions a /64 subnet, then tells you that you are not allowed to use it. This provider limits you to a maximum of 20 IPv6 addresses per server. Add them now. This pool will be used for all our own addresses and addresses that are provisioned to clients.
Next, navigate to the Install tab. We see many OS templates to pick from. Make sure to use the OS listed above for setting up this server. Select the OS and click Reinstall. You should wait 10 minutes before you begin working at the shell level, to make sure the OS is completely installed.
Before we begin working at the shell level, verify the hostname, verify the OS you are using, verify the IP addresses, verify the rDNS records and reboot the server.
