Hello...  Welcome to your Network Operations Centre (NoC) The NoC has been developed over the past twelve months with a primary focus on providing customers with a modern, streamlined way to manage Dedicated Servers purchased through First2Host or any of its a...

Management Tab From the Management tab, you can control every operational aspect of your Dedicated Server. Each action performed in the NoC triggers an authorised API request to the connected API server. These requests are processed in real time, and the resul...

Server Task Log The task log displays a list of actions that have been performed on your server. We record tasks completed by both you and our data centre technicians. The task list is stored in your profile, and older entries are automatically replaced as new...

Network The Network tab is where you can view and manage both Fixed and Failover IP blocks assigned to your server. A Fixed IP block is permanently bound to a single server but can be moved to other compatible servers. These addresses remain attached to the sa...

KVM/IP KVM/IP provides remote access to your physical server over the internal management network. It allows you to interact with the machine as if you were physically in front of it, making it ideal for tasks such as modifying BIOS settings or installing an o...

vRack You must have two or more servers to use vRacks On supported servers, you can order a Virtual Rack (vRack) and place your infrastructure inside it. A vRack allows you to interconnect your servers and IP blocks over a secure, private Layer‑2 network. This...

IP Address Management Within the IP Address Management section, you can manage all IP addresses assigned to your F2HCloud services. This includes viewing, organising, and configuring both Fixed and Failover IP blocks associated with your infrastructure. All V...

F2HCloud API F2H API access is currently experimental and should not be used with production systems. By using scoped API keys, you can allow specific API functions to be performed without needing to be logged into The NOC. Scoped keys provide fine‑grained con...

If you’ve purchased any additional IPv4 addresses for your service, Fixed or Failover. These will need to be configured inside your server. We only configure the main server IPv4 on our side. The correct method for adding extra IPs or subnets depends on the op...

vRack Overview vRack is a private Layer‑2 networking feature that allows you to interconnect multiple servers across the First2Host network using an isolated, non‑routed VLAN. It behaves like a virtual switch that spans racks, datacentres, or even regions (dep...

Overview With vRack, you can interconnect servers in any location worldwide over a private Layer‑2 network. This means servers in Europe can securely communicate with servers in Australia, Singapore, or anywhere else in your global infrastructure. Behind the s...

Overview If you are building a high‑availability network, you may also need to use public IPv4 addresses. This is often required for applications such as cPanel, which depend on publicly routed IPs to remain reachable during failover events. You cannot configu...

Overview The IP Address Management area of the First2Host NOC portal is a single place to see all IPv4 assets tied to your account, manage reverse DNS (PTR), check abuse/block status, run RBL checks, do light reachability checks, and use bulk PTR tools. Action...

Overview PTR (pointer) is reverse DNS: the name the internet sees when something looks up your public IPv4 address. Many mail servers and some services expect your PTR to look professional (often a fully qualified domain name, or FQDN, such as mail.example.com...

Overview We register and operate public IP ranges for customer services. When an address sends mail or traffic that looks like spam, bulk abuse, or compromised-system behaviour, blocklists and peers can flag our whole network, not just one server. So we run au...

Overview IP Reputation takes time. You, as the owner of an IP address, are responsible for its reputation from the moment the IP is assigned to you.  An RBL (Real-time Blocklist / DNS blocklist) check asks public blocklist providers whether your public IPv4 is...

Overview Use Bulk PTR update when you need the same kind of change on many IPv4 addresses at once — for example, after a migration, when standardising hostnames for mail servers, or aligning reverse DNS across a range. Single-address changes can stay in the no...

Overview Currently, you can move IP blocks between Dedicated Servers only. IP blocks cannot be moved between virtual servers. We provide two types of IP subnets: Fixed and Failover. Fixed subnets are routed directly to your server, and you do not need to reser...
