I love the VNC console they give you! You can watch the VM reboot in real-time and select different kernels in grub etc.

That ALWAYS annoyed me about DigitalOcean, you can't do this.

1 more thing i forgot is ptr records so i can use 192.168.1.1.mydomain.com mail.domain.com etc

and 1 click installs

@Reanalyse

Good catch! We do support 1 click OS installs, as well as rDNS. Users can often times do this within our control panel, if if ask you to create a ticket (we're available 24x7) and can submit the rDNS entry. Some times through the control panel it isn't possible as rDNS isn't delegated as the subnets may be smaller than a /24 and we purposely do this to introduce IPv4 diversity, so that end users can request secondary IPs from different subnets if needed.

Hi @muppet, thank you so much! Many compliment this, you're not alone. The HTML VNC console is amazing, I have to agree.

Hi @biggal

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, it would seem Trend Micro has incorrectly classified this. We have reached out to Trend Micro to fix this issue.

Do you support non-Linux OSes like FreeBSD? Understand it's not listed but if I can simply mount an ISO for the install that'd be fine with me.

Absolutely!

Can you advise where I can find the option to mount my own ISO? Can't seem to find the option to do that anywhere within the VPS Control Panel.

We can mount any iso for you, you just have to log a support ticket and a link of where we can download this.

The only iso's we won't mount are windows as it violates SPLA

We are here 24/7 through support ticket system :)

We've received a lot of orders from the community, we have plenty of stock - and would like to thank everyone who has taken advantage of the promotion. If you guys have ideas on what you'd like to see next I can work with the team to structure new deals around the demand as well.

Cheers
