Important Notes

  1. Region Limitation:

You can only deploy a VPS in the same region where the ISO file was
uploaded. If you need to deploy in a different region, you must delete
the current ISO and re-upload it to the desired region.

  1. Time Constraint:

You have 48 hours from the time of uploading to
complete the deployment and setup process, as Cloudzy does not store ISO
files permanently, and your ISO file will be deleted after 48 hours.

By following these methods, you can deploy a VM using a Custom ISO on
Cloudzy, ensuring a customized and flexible VPS setup tailored to your
specific needs.

Configuring
IP Address and DNS for New Custom VPS

New custom virtual private servers may not come pre-configured with
an IP address. Ensure you take note of the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway provided during the VPS creation process. Later, use the
VNC button available in the Cloudzy panel to access the VPS console and
configure the IP address.

Configuring IP

For DNS configuration, you can use public DNS servers such as:

Google Public DNS:

  • Primary: 8.8.8.8

  • Secondary: 8.8.4.4

Cloudflare DNS:

  • Primary: 1.1.1.1

  • Secondary: 1.0.0.1

OpenDNS:

  • Primary: 208.67.222.222

  • Secondary: 208.67.220.220

By configuring these settings, you can ensure your VPS has proper
network connectivity and DNS resolution. If you have any questions, feel
