Hosting a commercial VPN service

​

Are commercial VPN services allowed?

Yes. EDIS Global welcomes commercial VPN providers, including paid retail services whose customers’ traffic exits to the internet through EDIS Global VPS IP addresses. You may use standard KVM VPS plans for this workload. A special VPN plan or separate reseller application is not required simply because you sell VPN access to customers. Account eligibility, verification and the Acceptable Use Policy still apply. EDIS Global supplies the infrastructure. You operate the VPN service and remain responsible for your software, authentication, security, customer support and the traffic generated by your users.

​

Operating model

You can serve multiple paying subscribers from one VPS, or assign a separate VPS with its own dedicated static IPv4 address to each subscriber. Both models are permitted on standard KVM plans, subject to the AUP and the resources available to each VPS. Keep the VPS services under your provider account. Subscribers connect to your VPN service and do not need access to the EDIS Global control panel. You remain the contractual customer and handle payment, server administration, subscriber support and abuse response. Order production VPS under the intended account: existing VPS cannot be transferred between accounts.

​

Deploying a VPN endpoint

1. Register and prepare payment. The Order API is available after registration, subject to normal account verification. Prepaid account credit can help automate payment.
2. Check availability and order. Retrieve current locations, stock and plans through the Order API. A stock check does not reserve capacity.
3. Wait for provisioning and installation. Provisioning starts near-real-time after payment confirmation. Linux installation normally takes another 3–5 minutes, including updates from distribution mirrors. Custom image transfers may take longer.
4. Apply your VPN configuration. A common approach is to order a standard Linux image with an SSH public key and configure it using Ansible, Chef, Salt or your own scripts. Custom Cloud-Init user data is currently supported on reinstall, not in the initial order.
5. Check the endpoint before delivery. Verify installation, SSH access, your VPN service and connectivity from the subscriber’s network before providing connection details. A service ID or KVM ID does not establish VPN readiness.

See API access and authentication and Cloud-Init installation for implementation details.

​

Protocols and capacity

Our KVM VPS support VPN software including WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec and AmneziaWG, with full root access and TUN/TAP support. Published plans do not specify a fixed VPN-user or concurrent-connection limit. Practical capacity depends on the selected resources, protocol, encryption workload, packet rate and traffic profile. Test your actual workload before scaling. Review the network port policy, including outbound SMTP controls.

​

Shared connectivity and bandwidth

Host connectivity is shared between VPS instances. A host uplink speed is not a dedicated per-VPS throughput commitment. Actual VPN performance depends on resources, encryption, load and the complete network path. Dedicated Internet access and custom committed-bandwidth arrangements are not available for VPS deployments. For a large rollout, agree locations, quantities and timing with us in advance. Public stock information does not reserve capacity or establish a guaranteed deployment rate.

​

IP addresses and location selection

• Primary IPv4 replacement is available. Standard allocation does not guarantee a different subnet.
• Additional IPv4 addresses can be added to a VPS.
• Bespoke IPv4 selection lets you choose from available addresses and prefixes. Tell us your required number of distinct /24 prefixes before ordering; inventory varies by location.
• Test connectivity using the published addresses and Looking Glass on our location pages.

An IP replacement cannot guarantee reachability through a particular ISP or country. External filtering can affect addresses, entire prefixes or protocols. When EDIS Global replaces the primary IP, the old address stops working immediately. Configure the replacement inside the VPS and update your VPN endpoint settings. EDIS Global processes standard paid primary-IP changes automatically in real time once the request and payment are complete. Ordinary allocation is random; choose the Bespoke service if you need to select from available prefixes. Repeated changes remain subject to inventory, account review and the AUP.

​

Connectivity and IP expectations

Access from Russia is not guaranteed. EDIS Global prefixes may already be blocked by Russian networks. Restrictions can affect individual IPs, entire prefixes or VPN protocols and can change over time. Test from your subscribers’ actual networks; a successful test today does not guarantee future access. Access to a particular website or platform is also not guaranteed. Third parties determine their own filtering and IP-reputation rules. We cannot promise access to services such as ChatGPT, Netflix or Cloudflare-protected websites, residential IP classification, a particular blocklist status or CAPTCHA-free browsing. An IP replacement does not guarantee a solution. Use stable addresses within your assigned allocation. Rotating or random-address IPv6 proxies are prohibited.

​

Reverse DNS and outbound email

You can manage PTR records through the portal or API. Reverse DNS remains on EDIS Global’s Anycast DNS infrastructure. EDIS Global does not delegate individual IPs or parts of networks to external nameservers. A custom PTR is normally unnecessary for a VPN endpoint. See reverse DNS management. We recommend blocking outbound TCP port 25 in your VPN configuration or firewall, including forwarded subscriber traffic, unless you have a legitimate requirement for it. The platform’s default rate limit is not a complete block. See Port 25 guidance for VPN operators.

​

Traffic accounting for VPN workloads

Traffic used = incoming traffic + outgoing traffic. For example, approximately 100 GB received and 100 GB forwarded contributes approximately 200 GB to the counter, with protocol overhead affecting the total. Consider this when estimating cost per TB delivered to your customers. Each VPS has its own monthly traffic cycle. Use the traffic accounting guide, Traffic Pool guide and traffic-limit restoration guide for current rules and instructions. Auto-Hydration uses your existing Pool balance; it does not purchase more traffic automatically.

​

Abuse handling

Maintain a monitored contact address and a process for promptly stopping prohibited activity. The reseller guidance requires action on abuse messages within 24 hours. This is not a guaranteed grace period. Serious incidents may require immediate restrictions, suspension or termination under the AUP. You remain responsible for abuse originating from your customers. EDIS Global normally forwards valid complaints to the account holder for investigation. Stop the activity, investigate the cause and reply with the action taken. See Responding to an abuse complaint for the response process and Reporting abuse for evidence requirements.

​

Registration and payment

Provide accurate contact and billing details. Account verification and payment-provider checks may apply. Consult the accepted payment methods guide and contact support with account-specific eligibility questions.

• Reseller discounts depend on active VPS count. After tier confirmation, use the issued coupon for future orders; discounts are not automatically applied retrospectively.
• By default, EDIS Global applies available credit to newly generated renewal invoices. Credit added after an invoice exists must be applied manually.
• The Order API’s applycredit: false setting affects that order only. A renewal-credit opt-out is a support-configured account-level arrangement.
• Services renew unless cancelled. We recommend automatic renewal and cancelling services no longer required.
• EDIS Global adds no cryptocurrency-payment surcharge. Wallet, exchange and network fees may still apply; required payment confirmations must complete before provisioning.

Frequently asked questions

​

Can multiple paying subscribers share one VPS?

Yes. You may sell VPN subscriptions to multiple users on one VPS, or use a separate VPS for each subscriber. You manage user accounts, authentication, quotas and subscription expiry in your own software. There is no published fixed subscriber limit. Choose resources for your actual workload and test before scaling. You remain responsible for subscriber support and abuse response in either model.

​

Can I use Xray, VLESS with REALITY, Marzban or 3X-UI?

Yes. You may install VPN software such as Xray-core or V2Ray and use VLESS with REALITY where your chosen software supports it. You may also manage subscribers with panels such as Marzban or 3X-UI, subject to the AUP. No additional authorisation is required solely for choosing these applications. You install, configure, update and secure the software. Permission to use it does not guarantee compatibility with every version, access through a particular ISP, or managed application support. See our 3X-UI installation guide, port policy and support scope.

​

Do different locations provide different ASNs and independent networks?

Different locations or IP prefixes do not necessarily mean different origin ASNs or fully independent networks. The origin ASN announces a prefix in BGP; it may differ from the upstream provider supplying connectivity. Different locations can share an origin ASN, an upstream or other dependencies. If ASN diversity is essential, identify the specific prefixes and origin ASNs before ordering. A carrier list does not guarantee a direct local connection or a particular route to every destination. Use the published test addresses and Looking Glass on our location pages to evaluate routes. Geographic distribution alone does not establish physically diverse fibre paths or the absence of shared failure points.

​

What happens if my VPN server is attacked?

Our DDoS measures protect the infrastructure and other customers. We do not provide service-specific DDoS protection that guarantees your VPN remains reachable during an attack. If necessary, we may null-route the attacked IP, making it unreachable while the restriction is in place. An incoming attack and abuse originating from your subscribers are separate situations. For subscriber abuse, investigate valid complaints, stop prohibited activity and reply with the action taken. Using VPN or P2P software does not authorise copyright infringement. Restrictions depend on the incident and the AUP; an abuse-response deadline does not guarantee uninterrupted access. See responding to abuse complaints.

​

What backups, availability and recovery arrangements are included?

Automatic VPS backups and instant snapshots are not provided. Keep regular, recoverable backups outside the VPS and test restoration. A downloadable QCOW2 disk image is available on request as a one-off paid service; see the backup guide and QCOW2 export procedure and fee. Published uptime figures do not create a contractual SLA or a guaranteed application recovery time. Running VPS instances in several locations does not automatically replicate your data or provide application failover. You are responsible for your application’s monitoring, replication, failover and recovery plan. Do not assume a particular host-recovery sequence or complete independence between locations. Assess your requirements against our Terms of Service and infrastructure support scope.

​

What should I know before testing, paying for or cancelling several VPS instances?

Check the current location plans and prices, and test connectivity from your subscribers’ networks. Ordering several servers does not create an unconditional trial or a separate refund allowance for each server.

• Refunds: the 24-hour refund policy allows one eligible refund per customer in any 12-month period. Complete requests must reach support within the deadline and meet all conditions, including restrictions relating to discounts, upgrades and assigned Pool Traffic. Crypto refunds are possible when eligible and require the recipient information specified in that policy.
• Location changes: an eligible free location replacement creates a fresh VPS and deletes the original VPS and its data. A completed location change removes refund eligibility. A primary IPv4 change alone does not remove it.
• Payments and verification: cryptocurrency payments can be used for purchases and renewals, but do not guarantee anonymous service or exemption from account or payment checks. Provide accurate account details and follow any payment-provider verification requirements. VAT treatment depends on the applicable customer details, not on choosing cryptocurrency.
• Renewals and cancellation: services renew unless cancelled. You can fund account credit in advance; credit added after an invoice exists must be applied manually. Review the billing and non-payment timeline and use the cancellation procedure for services you no longer need. Immediate cancellation and cancellation at the end of the paid period have different effects.

​

Plan your deployment

You can order standard VPS plans directly. For a deployment across several locations or with specific IP requirements, send us:

• Target locations and number of VPS instances.
• Required resources and expected monthly traffic, stating whether your estimate means metered IN + OUT traffic or volume delivered to end users.
• Number of additional IPv4 addresses and distinct /24 prefixes required per location.
• Expected rollout timing.
