Creating a CloudLinux Cloud VPS with KSplice on VPS.NET

We’ve already gone over what CloudLinux does, and who should be using it, but more importantly, lets go over how to maximize your use of CloudLinux. In this post, we’ll walk you through the steps of creating a CloudLinux VPS, and utilizing the free KSplice license at VPS.NET.
Creating a New VPS with CloudLinux & KSplice
To get started we’re going to go to the new VPS page of the VPS.NET control panel. From there we’ll choose how many nodes we’re going to use for this Cloud VPS. In my example, I’m going to choose 4 nodes, located in our Atlanta datacenter. I’ve also chose to use Snapshot and Rsync backups, along with cPanel, RVSkins, Softaculous and LiteSpeed. They’re not necessary for CloudLinux or KSplice, however I certainly recommend them as they add considerable value to the hosting experience.


Once you click the create button, you’re all good to go with CloudLinux. We still have a few steps to go in order to get KSplice, which allows for rebootless updates, installed.
Installing KSplice
Before we can install KSplice, we first have to license it inside of the VPS.NET control panel. KSplice is totally free, so there’s really no reason not to use it. To license it, simply go to the KSplice section of the VPS.NET control panel. From there, click on the Add KSplice license and then follow the steps as outlined on the KSplice page.

Once that is complete, you’ve successfully setup your first CloudLinux VPS with KSplice.
