After ordering a VPS from NCXHost, your VPS may ask you to complete the Ubuntu Server installation manually.

Do not worry. This is normal for some VPS installations. You can complete it from your browser using noVNC from the NCXHost Client Area.

This guide will show you the steps in a simple way.

Before You Start #

Please keep these details ready:

IPv4 Address:
You will receive your VPS IPv4 address by email after order confirmation.

IPv6 Address:
NCXHost supports IPv6 on all hosting plans. To enable IPv6 on your server, please contact support or open a ticket.

Gateway:
103.255.134.1

Netmask / Subnet:
255.255.254.0

For Ubuntu Server installation screen, use this format:

103.255.134.0/23

DNS Resolver:
You can use:

103.255.134.1

Or public DNS servers like:

Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1
Google DNS: 8.8.8.8

Step 1: Login to NCXHost Client Area #

Go to:

https://ncxhost.com/clients

Login using your registered email address and password.

---

Step 2: Open Your VPS Service #

After login, go to your active VPS service.

Open the VPS service page where you can manage your server.

---

Step 3: Open noVNC Console #

Inside the VPS service page, find the noVNC / HTML5 Console option.

Click on Launch noVNC.

This will open your VPS screen directly in your browser

---

Step 4: Start Ubuntu Server Installation #

Once noVNC opens, you will see the Ubuntu Server installation screen.

Use your keyboard to move around:

• Use Arrow keys to move
• Use Enter to select
• Use Tab to move between buttons
• Select Done to continue to the next step

---

Step 5: Select Language and Keyboard #

Choose your preferred language.

For keyboard, you can usually keep the default option as English (US) unless you use a different keyboard layout.

Select Done to continue.

---

Step 6: Configure Network #

This is the most important step.

On the Network Connections screen, you will see a network interface like:

ens2

Sometimes the name can be different, such as ens3, ens18, or similar.

Select the network interface and press Enter.

Then select:

Edit IPv4

---

Step 7: Change IPv4 from Automatic to Manual #

By default, IPv4 may be set to Automatic (DHCP).

Change it to:

Manual

After selecting Manual, you will see fields for:

• Subnet
• Address
• Gateway
• Name servers
• Search domains

Step 8: Enter IPv4 Network Details #

Fill the fields like this:

Subnet:
103.255.134.0/23

Address:
Enter the IPv4 address you received by email after order confirmation.

Example format:

103.255.134.xxx

Gateway:
103.255.134.1

Name servers:
103.255.134.1, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8

Search domains:
Leave blank.

Then select Save or Done.

Important note:
Ubuntu asks for the subnet in /23 format. So here you should use:

103.255.134.0/23

Do not enter 255.255.254.0 in the Ubuntu subnet field.

---

Step 9: Continue Installation #

After network configuration is complete, select Done and continue with the installation.

You may see screens like:

• Proxy address
• Ubuntu archive mirror
• Storage configuration
• Profile setup
• SSH setup

For most users, default options are okay.

---

Step 10: Configure Storage #

On the storage screen, you can usually select the default option:

Use an entire disk

Then continue.

If you are not sure, do not change advanced storage settings.

---

Step 11: Create Username and Password #

Now create your server login details.

You may need to enter:

• Your name
• Server name
• Username
• Password

Please remember this username and password. You will need it to login to your server later.

---

Step 12: SSH Setup #

If the installer asks about SSH, you can select:

Install OpenSSH server

This allows you to connect to your server using SSH after installation.

---

Step 13: Finish Installation #

Continue the installation and wait until it completes.

Once installation is complete, select Reboot Now.

---

Step 14: Login to Your VPS #

After reboot, your VPS will start with the installed Ubuntu Server.

You can login using:

• The username you created
• The password you created
• Your VPS IPv4 address

You can also continue using noVNC if needed.

Common Mistakes to Avoid #

Do not enter the wrong IPv4 address. Use the IP sent to your email after order confirmation.

Do not enter 255.255.254.0 in the Ubuntu Subnet field. In Ubuntu installer, use:

103.255.134.0/23

Do not leave the gateway empty. Use:

103.255.134.1

Do not forget your username and password created during installation.
