Manage VPSnet services from your own AI account

#

Connect your own AI account to your existing VPSnet services. In AI connections, follow the setup instructions and sign in to VPSnet to choose services and permissions. You can revoke access at any time.

The model comes from your chosen AI account under its terms and limits; no model API key is needed. Developer tools and automation can use vpsnet-mcp from npm with a VPSnet API key. Source code and setup instructions are available on GitHub.

2FA lock for servers

#

A server can now be locked with a 2FA code. Switch the lock on in the server's settings, in the 2FA lock tab: use your account's authenticator, or a separate authenticator only for this server (you then get 10 recovery codes, shown once). A locked server cannot be managed until you enter a code from your authenticator. Unlock it for 15 minutes, 1, 4 or 24 hours – when the time is up, the server locks itself again. Only the browser session in which you entered the code is unlocked.

API keys, the VPSnet MCP server and the AI assistant cannot manage a locked server at all, even while it is unlocked. Renewing, paying and switching automatic renewal on or off always work. Lost your authenticator? Contact support – they can remove the 2FA lock.

Automatic renewal: one switch, first attempt 7 days ahead

#

Automatic renewal of a service is now one switch: on the service page under the expiry date, in the renewal tab and in the order window. Under the switch the panel says when and how much will be charged and from where – from your balance or, if the balance is short and you allowed it, from your saved card.

The first attempt is made 7 days before the end of the term, so if it fails there is still time to top up. The new period always starts at the end of the current term, so no paid day is lost. When the renewal is going to be paid, no reminder is sent; when an attempt fails, the usual expiry reminder says so – one e-mail, not several.

Private networks for Cloud VPS and VPS servers

#

Your Cloud VPS and VPS servers can now work together in private networks. Create a network in the control panel, attach your servers, and the traffic between them stays off the public internet. Around the network you get internet access on your terms, load balancers and VPN.

Private networks

  • Private networks: each attached server gets a private address automatically, and a Cloud VPS or VPS can be ordered straight into a network.
  • Security groups: rules decide which traffic may reach each server; what they do not allow is blocked.
  • Names inside the network: servers reach each other by name, for example web1.office.internal or just web1, and you can add names of your own.
  • Servers without a public IP: a Cloud VPS or VPS that lives only in your private network, for databases and other internal services.
  • Network map: networks, servers and the connections between them on one map.

Internet access and public addresses

  • Internet access for a network: switch it on for any network at any time with an additional public IP address. The servers go out to the internet through it, and nothing from the internet comes in.
  • Additional public IP address: point it at one server, and the server can be reached at it. The address is yours for its paid period, and you can move it to another of your servers or networks.

Load balancers

  • Internal load balancer: one private address inside the network that spreads TCP and UDP traffic across several of its servers.
  • Public load balancer: a public address on 3 or 5 servers of its own. It takes TCP, HTTP and HTTPS and passes them to your servers, which keep their own certificates.
  • Both check every server and send traffic only to those that answer.

VPN

  • For people and devices: connect a computer or phone with WireGuard and reach the servers by their private addresses, while its own internet stays as it is.
  • Internet through the VPN: send a device’s traffic out to the internet through the network’s internet access.
  • A VPN is attached to one network at a time and can be moved to another.

Rules, names and VPN access change within seconds, while your servers keep running.

API: networks, their servers, security groups, load balancers and VPN can be managed with an API key that has the networking scopes.

Prices: private networks, security groups, names inside the network and the network map cost nothing extra. The additional public IP address, load balancers and VPN are paid monthly at the prices in the price list, and you see the price before you pay. With automatic renewal on, renewal is attempted 7 days before the end of the term; without it, the service works until the end of its paid term and then ends by itself.

Additional public IP address for networks and servers

#

Buy an additional public IP address in the control panel and decide where it works:

  • For a network: the servers of that network, servers without a public IP included, reach the internet through it; nothing from the internet reaches them.
  • For one server: the server can be reached at this address.
  • Move it to another of your networks or servers at any time, free of charge.
  • The address is yours for the paid period and is billed monthly; you see the price before you pay. Automatic renewal keeps it; with renewal off, it works until the end of its paid period and then ends.

More: Private networks.

2026-10-08

Load balancers for private networks

#

Spread TCP and UDP traffic across several servers of a private network with a load balancer. It checks every server and takes one that stops answering out of rotation until it is back.

  • Create it under Networks in the control panel and choose its servers from the network.
  • Billed monthly; you see the price before you pay, and automatic renewal is yours to switch on or off.
  • It can be managed through the API as well.

More: Private networks.

2026-10-08

VPN for private networks

#

Connect your computer or phone to a private network with WireGuard and reach its servers by their private addresses, without opening them to the internet.

  • Add a device in the control panel and choose which servers it may reach. Its WireGuard configuration is shown once, so save it.
  • Remove a device at any time, and its access ends.
  • Billed monthly; you see the price before you pay, and automatic renewal is yours to switch on or off.

More: Private networks.

Automatic SSL for any compatible server

#

The certificate workspace now includes Automatic SSL subscriptions for compatible ACME clients on VPSnet or another provider. Choose the DNS names, review the exact final price in EUR, pay for the term, then reveal the private server URL and EAB credentials after two-factor verification. Your ACME client keeps the private key and renews short-lived certificates automatically during the active term.

The workspace keeps managed application HTTPS, Automatic SSL, and portable DV, OV, or EV certificate files as three clear choices. The public guide also explains how one edge proxy can share ports 80 and 443 between websites and applications by routing hostnames and SNI.

2026-08-10

Functions examples, pricing and safe API retries

#

Firecracker Functions now has a dedicated public page in English, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian with supported runtimes, reviewed examples and current usage pricing when available. Paid invocations from the panel, REST API and MCP now use a stable idempotency key: an exact retry returns the original invocation, while changed input is refused without another run or charge.

2026-08-10

Review API key request activity

#

The API key workspace now shows a privacy-conscious activity log for each key: recent matched API routes, response outcomes and resolved source addresses, with summaries by endpoint, source and day. Secret values, headers, query strings, path parameter values and request bodies are never recorded. A caller authenticated with an API key can see only that same key's activity. This log is meant for security review, not billing.

2026-08-05

Clear domain lifecycle pricing and official sources

#

Every domain extension you can register online at VPSnet.com now has its own localized page — including multi-part country endings such as .co.uk and .com.au. Each page shows exact VPSnet.com prices for the whole domain lifecycle together with the available order terms.

The facts on these pages come from reviewed IANA data: the country or region the ending belongs to, the root-zone manager and key dates, name-server and DS-record counts, DNSSEC status, the registration-service link and the available RDAP or WHOIS service — with official sources linked. Registry-specific eligibility or lifecycle claims appear only when a verified source is maintained.

2026-08-05

AI answers grounded in reviewed VPSnet knowledge

#

Before answering, VPSnet AI now consults the latest reviewed public support knowledge. Withdrawn, flagged, past-due or superseded sources are automatically excluded, while current service data and verified live checks remain authoritative. If the knowledge service is temporarily unavailable, the assistant continues without using stale material.

2026-08-04

Automatic service hostnames, DNS and PTR records

#

New Container VPS, VPS and Cloud VPS services now receive a stable VPSnet-managed vpsnet.cloud hostname. It contains no service number and nothing derived from the IP address; existing hostnames stay unchanged and customer-chosen hostnames keep working as before.

For that default hostname VPSnet automatically creates A records — and AAAA records once IPv6 is enabled — and maintains the default IPv4 and IPv6 PTR records. Customer-set PTR records are never touched. The hostname and platform DNS records are kept for the whole service quarantine period and are safely removed before the IP address is handed to anyone else.

2026-08-04

Terminal AI: application actions, precise DNS changes and clear sessions

#

The VPSnet AI assistant in the terminal can now propose actions for your managed applications — start, stop, restart, align or repair. Every proposal names the exact installation and action, asks for your confirmation and re-checks the application state before queueing. Installing, removing, access changes and anything that could lose data stay outside this flow, and your VPSnet credentials never reach the server or the application containers.

It can also prepare up to 20 related DNS record changes as a single reviewable batch. The confirmation is issued by VPSnet, is tied to the exact records and their order, and can be used only once; on the first error execution stops and already applied changes are clearly listed.

Terminal sessions now warn before the 60-minute inactivity limit and only your own activity extends them; reconnecting always starts a fresh session with a new one-time ticket. AI-only API keys additionally show the exact billed usage of each model, the remaining daily and monthly limits and a clearly marked monthly estimate.

Applications, service hostnames and an improved console

#

We added Applications for supported Linux VPS and Cloud VPS servers. Choose an application while ordering or install it later, then manage health, logs, access, updates, private registries and your own Docker Compose projects from the control panel.

New services can receive free vpsnet.cloud hostnames, and application endpoints can use managed DNS and HTTPS.

The web terminal now includes VPSnet AI assistance. Cloud VPS console and rescue add noVNC and ISO recovery, while VPS rescue can attach the customer filesystem.

We also improved application progress and notifications, container discovery, selective application-data restore from existing backups, domain ordering and general control-panel reliability.

Server power and operating system reinstall controls now pause while a managed application install or maintenance action is running. Console access remains available, and rescue mode can still stop a stuck application action when recovery is needed.

The applications toolkit has since grown in the same panel:

  • a security view with public routes and ports, SSL readiness, outbound policy and your own credentials — stored values are never displayed;
  • an access view showing exactly how the application is reachable, with a plain explanation whenever an endpoint is down;
  • continuous SSL certificate monitoring with expiry and renewal status;
  • clearer health diagnostics with built-in container logs — no SSH needed for a quick look;
  • CPU, memory and network history for the application and each of its containers;
  • after an update, one-click return to the previous application version while its restore point is valid;
  • update notifications by email and in the panel — once per version;
  • Docker Compose recipes with images pinned to exact digests, adoption of already running Compose projects only with your confirmation, and restore of individual files from stored nightly backups on supported services.

Domain registration and DNS management in VPSnet.com

#

VPSnet.com is adding domain registration, domain transfer, and DNS hosting to the same control panel used for VPS and other services.

The update is built for a simple workflow: search a domain, choose the available ending, pay through the standard VPSnet.com checkout, and manage DNS records in the same account.

What is included

  • Domain search and ordering: streamed availability checks, public landing search, priced domain suggestions, 1-3 year terms, VAT-aware order totals, and the same payment flow used by other VPSnet.com services.
  • Wide TLD catalogue: DOMREG for .lt, InternetBS and NameSilo integrations, production price feeds, popular endings, country endings, and a long-tail catalogue of more than 200 publicly searchable TLDs.
  • Transparent pricing: provider-backed prices are normalized for clean display, configured VPSnet.com margin and charm rounding are applied consistently, and discounted ordering prices can be shown next to regular renewal prices.
  • DNS hosting: PowerDNS-backed zones, record editing, DNS templates, import and export tools, comments, change history, health checks, and quick access from each domain workspace.
  • DNSSEC and nameservers: DNSSEC state tracking, automatic DS publication where the registry supports it, nameserver management, glue records, and transfer-lock controls.
  • Automation: scoped API keys, DDNS tokens with source allowlists, queued domain actions, customer notifications, and audit history for DNS and registrar changes.
  • Security hardening: account ownership checks, 2FA or email PIN for sensitive transfer-code reveal, secret redaction, SSRF protection, FQDN validation, rate limiting, and pricing-floor checks.

This brings domains and DNS closer to the infrastructure they usually point to: VPS, Cloud VPS, Firecracker microVMs, websites, mail services, APIs, and automation workloads can now be managed from one VPSnet.com account.

Compute platform update: Cloud VPS, Firecracker, Functions and AI management

#

We are refreshing VPSnet compute with modern Cloud VPS, Firecracker microVM hosting, Firecracker Functions, and deeper AI server management.

The goal is simple: clearer products, stronger isolation, faster provisioning, better automation, and more useful tools for customers who want to run real workloads without spending time on repetitive server administration.

What is new

  • Cloud VPS: KVM-based cloud servers with High Availability, replicated Ceph NVMe storage, Linux, Windows Server and BSD support, snapshots, daily restore points, and AI server management.
  • Firecracker: fast, secure Linux microVM hosting with VM-level isolation, container-like speed, root access, public IP, OS reinstall, SSH keys, console, metrics, snapshots, backups, and VPSnet panel management.
  • Firecracker Functions: serverless-style code execution inside isolated Firecracker microVMs, launched from the control panel, API, or webhook.
  • VPSnet AI Assistant: real server-side automation integrated into Cloud VPS, Firecracker microVMs, Firecracker Functions, and supported Windows Server machines.

Cloud VPS

Cloud VPS is our KVM-based cloud server line for users who need strong isolation, full OS control, Linux, Windows Server or BSD support, snapshots, daily restore points, and High Availability. Cloud VPS uses three-copy replicated Ceph NVMe storage, so if host hardware fails the VM will be automatically restarted on another cluster host.

This makes Cloud VPS the right choice when the workload needs a full virtual machine, broader OS compatibility, custom kernel control, HA behavior, and safer maintenance workflows through snapshots and restore points.

Firecracker microVM hosting

Firecracker is our fast, secure Linux microVM platform. It combines VM-level isolation with container-like speed and efficiency, while still supporting normal server workflows: root access, public IP, OS reinstall, SSH keys, console, metrics, snapshots, backups, and service management from the VPSnet panel.

With prepared Linux images and our custom kernel profile, Firecracker is suitable for production websites, APIs, applications, workers, development environments, CI/CD, automation, containerized services, and other Linux server workloads. Lightweight here means low overhead and fast operations, not weak performance.

VPSnet AI Assistant

VPSnet AI Assistant is not just a chat window. It can perform real server-side work: inspect the system, run commands, install software, configure services, troubleshoot errors, change settings, prepare deployments, generate scripts, create or update web pages, and automate tasks requested by the user.

Examples include preparing a web stack, installing WordPress or Node.js applications, configuring Nginx and SSL, investigating logs, fixing service errors, setting up automation scripts, and producing a clear summary of what changed.

Firecracker Functions

Firecracker Functions add a serverless execution layer on the same microVM foundation. You can save code, choose a runtime, pass input, run it from the control panel, API or webhook, and inspect invocation logs, duration, output and usage cost.

Functions are useful for webhooks, integrations, data processing, AI-generated tools, maintenance actions, scheduled or event-driven automation, and backend tasks where you want isolated execution without managing a permanently running service.

Alongside these platform changes, we are updating plans and pricing so customers get stronger isolation, faster provisioning, better automation, and clearer value across the VPSnet compute lineup.

AI Assistant (Beta) in VPS Management

#

We launched AI Assistant (Beta) directly in VPS service management. You can now manage server tasks from one screen, without manual terminal preparation.

You can do this instantly in the VPSnet.com web panel: open AI Assistant, describe the result you want, and AI starts executing on your VPS immediately.

Where to find it: Management → Services → open your service → AI Assistant.

Important scope note: AI Assistant is not limited to a fixed catalog of actions. The examples below are only guidance, not limits.

What is new

  • Mini IDE workflow: prompt input, live log stream, and AI output in one place.
  • Real-time visibility: you see step-by-step execution, command status, and results as they happen on your VPS.
  • File-aware actions: AI can create, inspect, and edit files, then explain what changed.
  • Session continuity: continue previous context or start a new chat; long sessions support automatic context compaction.
  • Safety controls: optional max-steps and Premium max-cost limits to keep tasks predictable.

What you can do

These are only examples — the assistant is not limited to fixed templates. You can describe almost any server, DevOps, automation, or programming workflow, and AI will execute it on your VPS step by step.

  • Prepare web server stacks (Nginx/Apache, PHP, Node.js, Python, Docker) or custom environments.
  • Install and configure databases (MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL/Redis) and integrate them with applications.
  • Create, modify, and debug code/scripts, then deploy websites and apps with SSL and reverse proxy.
  • Analyze system state, troubleshoot logs/services/firewall/packages, and apply the required fixes.

Example requests

  • “Create a web page for my company on this VPS, configure Nginx with SSL, and publish it.”
  • “Install WordPress with database, harden security, and show me which files were created.”
  • “Set up a Node.js app with PM2, reverse proxy, and auto-restart on boot.”

And much more

  • Build CI/CD flows, automate maintenance, manage backup/restore routines, harden security baselines, benchmark performance, and generate technical reports.
  • Run one-time or recurring operations, chain multi-step workflows, and adapt decisions based on live server feedback.
  • If you can clearly describe the outcome, AI can usually execute it on the VPS and show exactly what changed.

Billing: Free and Premium modes are available. Premium usage is billed by provider-reported token usage and is visible in payment history.

Important: AI can make mistakes. Always review and verify actions before using them in production.

Latvian Language Support

#

We added Latvian language — VPSnet.com is now available in three languages: Lithuanian, English, and Latvian.

VPSnet.com, VPSnet.lt (VPSnet.net, VPSnet.co.uk), and the new VPSnet.lv — all sites now support three languages.

  • The entire management interface has been translated to Latvian
  • You can switch languages at any time from the top menu

Saved Card and Automatic Renewal

#

You can now save a payment card and enable automatic service renewal when your balance runs low.

  • Card is stored securely via Stripe — we never store your card details
  • Only the last 4 digits are shown for reference
  • You can remove the saved card at any time
2026-02-07

News and Updates

#

We created a new changelog page where you can follow all VPSnet.com platform news, updates and changes.

All new features, improvements and fixes will be announced here.

API Keys and MCP Servers

#

Added the ability to create API keys for programmatic access to VPSnet.com services.

Create and manage your API keys at: Management → Account → API Keys

MCP Servers for AI Integration

For AI usability, we created two MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that allow AI assistants to fully control your services and manage VPS servers:

VPSnet MCP — 49 tools for complete service management

  • Server control: start, stop, restart, reinstall OS, change hostname and root password
  • Plan management: view plans, change resources (RAM, CPU, SSD, traffic), calculate pricing
  • Order new VPS: choose plan, OS, resources, SSH key — all in one command
  • SSH key management: create, deploy, and list SSH keys for secure access
  • Backup management: check status, view history, create backups
  • Billing: view invoices, payments, renew services, manage auto-renewal
  • Account: manage API keys, view login and management history
  • Network: manage rDNS/PTR records, toggle IPv6, flush iptables

npm: vpsnet-mcp | GitHub

mcp-server-ssh — Direct SSH access for AI

  • Connect to any VPS via SSH (password or key authentication)
  • Execute commands remotely — install software, configure services
  • SFTP file operations: upload, download, browse, create directories
  • Generate SSH key pairs directly from AI
  • Port forwarding for accessing internal services

npm: mcp-server-ssh | GitHub

Best together: VPSnet MCP and mcp-server-ssh complement each other perfectly. VPSnet MCP handles ordering and service management, while mcp-server-ssh handles direct server access. Together, AI can order a VPS, deploy an SSH key, connect, and fully configure the server — all automatically.

How to install: Copy the full description from the npm page or GitHub into your AI assistant and it will install the MCP server automatically. You may need to restart the agent and grant required permissions.

Example workflows:

1. “Order a new VPS from balance, create an SSH key and deploy it, give me the server IP so I can point my domain. Then install SSL and set up a complete WordPress site with a theme and plugins.”

2. “Order a VPS, set it up for Node.js, then create a React web application that shows real-time weather statistics with live API data and interactive charts. Configure Nginx as reverse proxy with SSL and make it accessible in production.”

AI handles the full process — from ordering the server to deploying a working application.

Important: AI assistants can make mistakes. Always review and verify the actions AI performs on your servers. You are responsible for monitoring AI tasks and ensuring they complete correctly.
