Extra options for your VPS
Above, we address DirectAdmin itself, but there is much more possible with your VPS when combined with DirectAdmin. For example, you might want to add an extra IPv4 or IPv6 address or use our mail service. Below is a brief overview of some useful additional features and corresponding links where you can find more information about:
-
VPS-mail service: Our VPS mail service (also known as ‘carefree mailing’) is a service that is meant to make the guaranteed and spam-free sending of mail as easy as possible. This article shows you how to use the mail service.
-
Adding an extra IPv4- of IPv6-address: If you offer many domains, you may not want to host each domain on the same IP (e.g. if you host competing websites). You add an extra IPv4 or IPv6 address with the steps in this article. Use the steps for AlmaLinux 8 for this.
-
Block Storage: If you process a lot of data (e.g. a website with a lot of video material, or a lot of emails), you may need extra storage. With Block Storage, you easily add additional storage space, up to a max of 400TB.
- HA-IP (High Availability IP): Do you want to use a load balancer to spread the load over multiple VPSs, or ensure that when you experience downtime on a VPS for whatever reason, visitors to your website are directed to your other VPS? HA-IP (Pro) offers you these options!
In these tutorial series you have safely set up your DirectAdmin-VPS and you are ready to host all your websites, databases and email!
