Launch Instance with IPv6

This guide walks you through creating a cloud server with IPv6 networking on NeevCloud.

Important: To connect to an IPv6 instance, your local machine must have IPv6 connectivity. You cannot access an IPv6-only server from an IPv4-only network. Verify your IPv6 support at test-ipv6.com.

Create a Cloud Server

• Navigate to Server from the left sidebar and click + Create a Cloud Server.

Select Location and Image

• Choose your preferred region:- Central India or Mumbai.

• Under Image, select your preferred operating system. NeevCloud supports CentOS, Windows, AlmaLinux, Cloud Linux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu Linux, Rocky Linux, and Oracle Linux.

• You can also choose from Marketplace, GPU Operating System, Databases, My Images, or boot from an existing Volume.

Select Hardware and Volume

• Under Hardware, choose a flavor based on your workload. Available categories include General Purpose, Memory Optimised, CPU Optimized, GPU Enabled, and Smart Servers.

• Under Volumes, a default boot volume is created automatically. You can adjust the size or select a different volume type as needed.

To enable encryption at rest, select the Encrypted volume type. See Data Encryption for details.

Select IPv6 Network and SSH Key

• Under Networking, select Public-IPv6 from the Network dropdown for your interface. This assigns a public IPv6 address to your instance.

• Under Authentication, select an existing SSH key or click + Add SSH Public Key to upload a new one. You can also click + Generate SSH Key to create a new key pair.

Configure Security Group, Name and Launch

• Under Security Groups, the default security group is selected automatically. You can create or select additional groups as needed.

• Under Name, enter a name for your server.

• Click + Create Server to launch your instance.

Verify Your Instance

• Once the server status shows active, go to Server - Overview. Your assigned IPv6 address will be displayed in the server details along with the Region, Availability Zone, and Network information.

Connect via SSH

• Open your terminal (Linux/macOS) or PowerShell (Windows), navigate to the folder containing your SSH key, and connect:

ssh -i ssh_key user@your-ipv6-address

Note: Default usernames vary by OS. See Default Username of Operating Systems for the full list.

IPv6 vs IPv4 Connectivity

Client Network	Instance Network	Can Connect?
IPv4	IPv4	Yes
IPv6	IPv6	Yes
IPv4	IPv6 only	No
IPv6	IPv4 only	No

If you need your instance reachable from both IPv4 and IPv6 clients, attach both Public and Public-IPv6 networks during instance creation.
