Network
Of course all servers are directly connected to the internet. Depending on which kind of server you chose when ordering it, it might have an IPv4 address or not. In any case, your server always has an IPv6 address. However, IPv6-only servers are also available and those server don't come with an IPv4 address and can't be upgraded to have one.
Network Speed
All servers are connected to our network with a 100 Mbps port. That maximum port speed can be upgraded to 1 Gbps by ordering the Gigabit Upgrade for your server. Please note that the network speed is not guaranteed and can vary depending on the current network load and the target the traffic is going to.
Speedtests
In case you open a support ticket regarding network speed issues, we will always ask you to provide a speedtest from your server. Please make sure that you are running any speedtest actually and directly from your server. If you are using your server as VPN or proxy, it's not sufficient to run the speedtest from your connected device as the network route between your client and your server will also affect the speedtest results.
You can use the following command to perform a speedtest from your server:
Ubuntu and Debian
apt-get install -y speedtest-cli && speedtest-cli
Windows
Please use a browser to visit speedtest.net and perform a speedtest from your server.
