NAT IPv4, ports and forwarding

We disclose this up front rather than burying it: today our VPS use a shared public IPv4 with NAT, and each VPS gets its own dedicated forwarded ports. For most workloads this is all you need.

What you get

When NAT IPv4 is fine

Discord/Telegram bots, game servers (we forward the game port for you), trading bots, web scrapers, CI runners, dev boxes, app backends behind a reverse proxy, VPN for personal use — all work great on NAT.

When you may want a dedicated IP

Running your own mail server, needing your own :80/:443 with a bare IP, certain peer-to-peer setups, or strict reverse-DNS requirements. A dedicated IPv4 is on the roadmap — email us about your use case and we'll tell you honestly whether NAT covers it.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Can I host a website on my NAT VPS?

Yes — run it behind your dedicated forwarded port, or ask us to forward 80/443 to your VPS. For a simpler path, our web hosting includes domains and SSL out of the box.

How do I request an extra port?

Email [email protected] with your service and the port you need. We'll map it and reply with the external port.

Is NAT slower?

No — NAT doesn't cap throughput. Your VPS still gets the full 10 Gbps link.

Still stuck?

We answer real emails fast — no ticket maze.
