Can I upgrade my VPS?
Yes, VPS upgrades are easy and billed pro-rata, please ensure you shut down (not reboot) and start the service in order for the upgrade to work. You may need to use gparted to resize the disk, this is available via the ISO attached to all VPSes.
If you have upgraded to a tier with a higher network speed, please contact us as this is currently a manual upgrade.

I don't like any of the VPS plans, can you do custom ones?
Yes, please contact us for a quote. In general we charge $1/vcpu/mo, $1.5/GB/mo for ram, $0.1/GB/mo for NVME SSD, $5 per additional IPv4 and approximately $30/mo per 100Mbit Unmetered Bandwidth, we may be able to offer better rates for larger orders. We plan to adjust our system in future to offer this customisation by default.
At the time of writing, we can offer NVME storage of up to and potentially over 10TB.

Please note that we may respectfully decline unreasonable configurations that would significantly unbalance node utilisation. For example, we cannot currently offer 64 cores with 1 GB of RAM and 10 GB of disk for $80. That said, we are generally flexible and can accommodate most storage configurations.
Can I have a private lan between multiple VPSes?
Please send us a ticket and we can arrange this for free, if you hold VPSes on multiple different nodes, our crossconnects currently have a link speed of 25 Gigabit/s (SFP28), this link speed is shared but we do not limit your speed or usage.
Unfortunately due to a software limitation where all network traffic for a VM is combined into one statistic, it may be counted towards your bandwidth cap, but we are more than willing to remove the cap for free if you prove to us (or we can see) that you aren't exceeding it.
We are also happy to set these up between multiple independent customers, as long as we recieve matching tickets from all customers listing the service(s) they want to connect.

Can I install a custom OS or attach a live CD?
Yes, if you're ordering a new service please choose the "Netboot" option (ignore the emailed credentials), this will send you into a Netboot environment upon accessing the server via VNC. If you have already purchased a VPS, please use VNC to access the bios and choose the CD/DVD boot option to open netboot. We can also attach specific ISOs to your VPS if netboot doesn't feature them.
Please note that if you install a custom OS and don't install QEMU Guest Additions to your VM, you will not be able to use Graceful Reboot or Shutdown in the panel, and will be hard stopped if the node your VPS is on needs to be restarted.
BSD is not officially supported as QEMU Guest agent requires extra configurationThird Party Link!, you may install it, but if you don't install guest agent correctly your VM will not have power controls in the panel and will be hard stopped if the node needs to be restarted.
We have added an additional template for BSD users which uses the ISA driver for guest agent instead of virtio, which may work, you can test correct configuration by using the shutdown power control in the panel, if it works, then it is set up correctly.

What ports are blocked on your services?
We block the following ports/services by default:
We are more than willing to unblock ports for you as long as you can justify your requirement for them. For SMB we recommend that this is only activated over a private LAN between VPSes, for email, please see our additional requirements below.
This list may not be complete, and we may choose to block additional ports in future if we see abusive behaviour from them.
Private LANs between VPSes are not subject to any restrictions on these ports.
- 25 (SMTP)
- 67 (DHCP Server)
- 135 (RPC)
- 137/138 (NetBIOS)
- 139/445 (SMB/SMBswat)
- 465 (SMTPS)
- 587 (Submission (Email))

Can I use my VPS for email?
You definitely can
Contact us, we will request you add a TXT record to your domain to verify your ownership of the domain, this record will need to be left enabled at all times as it doubles as a contact address to report abuse, we will also need to know your hostname so we can set it on reverse DNS. You MUST set up SPF/DMARC/DKIM for your email server.
For new clients or those on our lower tier plans, we may require you to deposit a minimum of $30 credit to your account, this isn't taken by us to unblock the ports, but it helps us to reduce abuse. It can be put toward payment for any services with us.
Please note that sending spam emails will result in immediate suspension with no refund!

Can I run a Tor Relay or exit?
Do you have IPv6 and can I have an IPv6 only VPS?
We are working towards offering this very soon.
Do you oversell resources on your nodes?
We oversell on network speed only as it is cost prohibitive to purchase dedicated network bandwidth for each VM, our nodes only have a limited connection speed which is shared between all users on the node, but it is extremely uncommon that many users attempt to use 100% of their provisioned network speed at once. We may provision more cores in total than available on our nodes but we monitor the CPU usage and ensure we aren't causing issues with CPU Stall/CPU Steal.
For disk, we use thin provisioning (and set the discard flag in all VMs to enable trim) but we do not provision more disk space than we have available, we only use this to reduce wear on our disks so that free space on VMs can be used for wear levelling.

Can I mine X cryptocurrency your nodes?
If you like, but you are guaranteed to not make a profit.
Can I run Windows on my VPS?
We don't recommend it but we would suggest you purchase a VPS with at least 4GB of ram if you want to do this, please note we do not provide technical support for windows outside of issues with our network or nodes. If you require the virtual machine type to be set for windows or need EFI, send us a ticket, we may charge a small admin fee for changing this.
You must also have a valid licence key, we don't provide these.
Please note that if you want to set up an SMB server with windows, you will need to request the ports to be unblocked.

Can I add credit to my account?
Yes, you can add credit to your account from the panel. If you contact us, we can offer bonuses for larger deposits, as they help us gain capital to expand our offering.
How do I pay for more than one month?
Please add credit to your account equivalent to the duration of time you wish to purchase the service for, our system will automatically take credit to pay your invoices.
Can I pay with bank transfer/card/paypal?
We don't generally offer this, if you can't pay with cryptocurrency, you can purchase equipment and have it sent to our datacentre in exchange for account credit.Contact us and we may be able to work something out.
Do you offer refunds or withdrawal of account balance?
We offer refunds back to crypto within the first 14 days of service purchase, the mining fee will be taken from the refund. We offer refunds for part used services at any time to account balance, and these can be used for other services.
We don't generally offer withdrawals of account balance without prior agreement, such as for affiliates who provide a large number of referals.

How are Management Hours Billed?
For management hours we bill initially for 30 minutes, this is the minimum charge regardless of if the job is less than 30 minutes, this covers the setup time for our administrators. After this, we charge in 15 minute increments, so a 35 minute task is charged as 45 minutes. We don't generally provide fixed price quotes, we charge based on time spent, this could mean specialised software/hardware we are less experienced with requires more hours, but in turn what we are experienced with requires less hours.
Please note that all management hours must be pre paid, if we require more time than you have paid for we will pause the management and allow you time to purchase further hours.

Do you offer referral credits?
At the moment we offer a 5% referral credit, this can be withdrawn to your account balance and used on our services.
For larger referrers we can consider a higher rate and withdrawals to your own cryptocurrency wallet, for this, please contact us before starting to refer users, we unfortunately cannot offer this retroactively because we need to ensure we are reserving coins for your payout.

Referral Rules
- We require immediately visible disclosure for an affiliate link if it has link text, such as or similar to:
Visit Ko-Net Referral Link! - It must be clear to a user that you are referring them
- We would prefer if you also gave a user the option to visit the site without a referral link because referral links do reduce user privacy
- We also do not permit registering multiple accounts in order to benefit from your own referral link(s).
- We will revoke non compliant links and may remove the gained funds for non compliance.
- Should cryptocurrency prices fall significantly, we may not permit or we may reduce withdrawals to compensate, long term holding of referral credits is not a guarantee, we can only guarantee that they can be used on our services.
