When buying a VPS, you likely want a mobile-friendly, feature-rich control panel to manage your service easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous options available, such as SolusVM, Virtualizor, and Proxmox, and naturally, some are better than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing our VPS control panel of choice – VirtFusion!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve never heard of it, as it is one of the newer options available, with the first public release being back in December 2021, but don\u2019t let that put you off \u2013 there\u2019s a lot to be excited by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many control panels attempt to be a jack of all trades but are masters at none. This is because they try to cater to a wide range of virtualisation types, such as OpenVZ, KVM, Xen, and others. This means that you end up with a product that has an overwhelming number of options, many of which are only applicable to particular virtualisation options. For example, you might change a setting, only to find that it has no impact since that setting is only applicable on KVM and not OpenVZ \u2013 or vice-versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of trying to cater to all these different options is that software updates are slower to release and contain more bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VirtFusion, on the other hand, only caters to KVM \u2013 which is our hypervisor of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our experience with VirtFusion, from technical support to the product itself, has been overwhelmingly positive, so in this article, we\u2019ll be taking a look at some of the features that you \u2013 our customer \u2013 get to enjoy with every Ethernet Servers VPS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ordering a VPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process of ordering a VPS takes just a few seconds on our clean order form, allowing you to customise your billing duration as well as your server location<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessing the VirtFusion VPS Control Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When first accessing the control panel, you\u2019ll be prompted to input an identifier for your VPS \u2013 this could be a word or two that you use to remind yourself what the server is for, with quick examples being things like \u201cOffice VPN\u201d or \u201cBackup Server\u201d. In addition, you can choose a hostname (i.e. server.yourdomain.com), as well as set the default server timezone, but most importantly \u2013 choose the operating system! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other options include enabling IPv6, enabling VNC, setting SSH keys, choosing your swap size, and setting your DNS resolvers (e.g., Google, Cloudflare). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dashboard Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your operating system is installed (above step), you will be automatically redirected to the dashboard, with a plethora of information, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
