How to Order a Dedicated IPv4 Add-on
Short answerClient area/order flow, billing, assignment, activation. VPSGrid provides unmanaged hosting — you administer the guest OS, applications, and data inside the VM.
Overview
Client area/order flow, billing, assignment, activation.
Prerequisites
- Active VPSGrid account at billing.vpsgrid.net
- For Linux guides: SSH access to your VPS using the primary IP from the welcome email or service details page
- For Windows guides: RDP access with the Administrator account
Step-by-step instructions
- Sign in to the VPSGrid client area and open Services → My Services for the relevant VPS, domain, or add-on.
- Locate the control described in this guide (How to Order a Dedicated IPv4 Add-on). If the UI label differs slightly, match the function (reboot, DNS, invoice, etc.) rather than exact wording.
- Apply the change following on-screen prompts. For OS-level tasks, connect via SSH (Linux) or RDP (Windows) using credentials from your welcome email.
- Verify the outcome with a simple test: HTTP response, SSH login, DNS lookup, or invoice status — before considering the task complete.
- Document what you changed (firewall rule, DNS record, package version) so you can reverse or repeat the step during incidents.
Important notes
- VPSGrid is unmanaged — support assists with platform/billing issues; guest OS stack work is your responsibility unless a separate managed product applies.
- Use Hostname for the VPS name at order time; point your domain separately via DNS A records.
- Refer to checkout at vpsgrid.net for current plan specs — this article does not publish fixed pricing.
