Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does our Self-managed VPS support a load balancer for multi VPS server?
    
   • Although we wouldn't offer a load balancer to the customer, they could set up a load balancer themselves on a VPS and then connect other VPSes together through it
      
2. Will I have GRUB access to swap the kernel itself if a module requires a newer version than what ships with the OS template? And is there any restriction on which kernel modules are blocked at the hypervisor level?
    
   • We have fully separate KVM-based Virtual Machines with full GRUB access as opposed to containerized environments or any technologies that limit kernels from the hypervisor.  Customers who are familiar with kernel installation and toolsets can trade out any kernel, kernel module, or GRUB config they like.
3. Can customers install CyberPanel (free cPanel) on VPS?
    
   • Customers can install anything they like if they have knowledge.  We offer some free cPanel alternatives as one-click installs including aaPanel and CloudPanel.  We're working on adding CyberPanel soon.
