Features
Every feature below is available from the customer portal without opening a ticket.
Browser console
Browser consoleA token-authenticated noVNC console session opens in a new tab. Works during boot, single-user mode, kernel panic recovery, or when SSH has locked you out. Sessions are scoped per-customer and per-VM at the hypervisor permission layer, so a console URL from one customer can't reach another VM.
On-demand snapshots
On-demand snapshotsUp to three snapshot slots per VPS, kept on the same underlying storage as the VPS itself. Take one before a risky change (kernel upgrade, distro upgrade, config refactor). Roll back from the portal — the VM stops, reverts, restarts automatically.
Snapshots aren't off-site backups — if the underlying storage is lost, snapshots go with it. They're a "let me try this and revert if it breaks" tool, not a disaster-recovery system. Off-host backups remain your responsibility for now.
OS reload
OS reloadWipe the VPS and re-provision it with a different (or the same) operating system from the portal. The IP address, dedicated IPv6 (if any), hostname, console credentials, and per-VM hypervisor user all survive. The reload runs in the background; the page reloads automatically when it's done.
Rescue mode
Rescue modeBoots your VPS from a SystemRescue ISO without destroying anything. Cloud-init data stays attached, so the rescue environment comes up with your IP already configured — no need to manually set ip addr in the rescue shell.
From there: lsblk to find your root partition, mount it, chroot in, fix what needs fixing, exit, then click Exit Rescue Mode from the portal banner. Original boot order is restored and the VPS reboots back into normal operation.
Reverse DNS
Reverse DNSSet PTR records on every IPv4 and IPv6 address assigned to your VPS, directly from the portal. Mail-server-friendly: hostname and PTR can match, so sending mail doesn't get auto-flagged by recipient servers checking for forward-confirmed reverse DNS. Self-service for both address families — no ticket required.
Real-time stats and graphs
Real-time stats and graphsCPU utilization, memory usage, disk usage, network throughput. Last hour / day / week / month / year with min/max consolidation toggles. Pulled from the hypervisor's RRD store, no agent needed inside the guest.
SSH key management
Paste your OpenSSH public keys on the order form and they're baked into cloud-init for first boot — ssh root@<your-ip> works the moment provisioning completes, no password handoff. Optional; leave the field blank if you only need password login.
Manage keys later from the portal's SSH Keys tab. Saved keys are pushed live into the running VPS via the guest agent (no reboot) AND set in the VM's cloud-init config so they're re-applied automatically on every OS reload. Multiple keys supported, one per line. Standard key types: ed25519, RSA, ECDSA, FIDO2/U2F hardware.
Monthly bandwidth report
Per-month inbound / outbound / total bandwidth totals visible from the portal. Approximate, integrated from the same RRD data feeding the live graphs — useful for self-monitoring against fair-use, not used for billing. Bandwidth is unmetered.
Plan changes
Move between plans through the customer portal billing flow. CPU, RAM, and disk allocations adjust; the next reboot is when the guest OS sees the new resources.
Hostname changes
Change the in-VPS hostname from the portal. With the guest agent installed (default on every LYLIX template), the new hostname takes effect immediately inside the running VPS — no reboot. Your portal service record updates in the same step so the label stays in sync.
Root password change
Reset the root password from the portal at any time. Pushed live into the running VPS via the guest agent (no reboot) and also stored on your portal account so support can recover it if needed.
IPv6
One IPv6 address per VPS is included, configured via cloud-init at deploy time alongside your IPv4 assignment. Reverse DNS for the address is self-service from the same portal tab as IPv4 PTR.
