This provider allows us to select which OS we want installed when the service is provisioned. After the service is activated, this provider uses SolusVM VPS control panel to manage the OS and the IP addresses of the VPS. This provider allows us to reinstall the OS unlimited times per month.

The reverse DNS management provided in the VPS control panel is disabled by the provider. The next step is to open a support ticket asking them to 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, the IPv6 policy of this provider requires you login to the billing manager and open a support ticket asking them to provision the 100 IPv6 addresses to your server. They should appear in the Network tab of the VPS control panel when they are provisioned.

Next, navigate to the Network tab and click on the Manage tab for the IPv6 addresses. This provider provisions 100 IPv6 addresses to the server. This pool will be used for all our own addresses and addresses that are provisioned to clients.

Next, navigate to the OS 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 OS. 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 and reboot the server.
