CHR on a VPS: Questions for the Hosting Provider

This guide covers CHR on a VPS. Start with the checks below. Then compare your result with the example before changing a live service. A VPS proposal needs more detail than a public IP and monthly price. Confirm the supported virtual platform, network controls and recovery access before choosing it for a router deployment.

CHR on a VPS: practical checks

1. Ask whether the offered platform supports the intended CHR image.
2. Confirm console access, network mapping and recovery responsibilities.
3. Separate router management exposure from public customer checkout requirements.

CHR on a VPS: a working example

A low-cost server may be suitable for a web application but unsuitable for the intended virtual routing layout. Obtain the provider's answers before purchasing migration work.

First, write down the starting state and the expected result. Then make one controlled change. Next, compare the result with the example above. Finally, record what changed and who should follow up. Keep private account details out of shared notes.

Where LinkDesk fits

LinkDesk is a separate billing application, not a CHR licence or virtual hosting service. A proposed virtual deployment needs a tested application-to-router path, suitable infrastructure and a separate decision about the RouterOS licence.
