🌐 WebGate: make your IPv6-Only VPS reachable over IPv4 and IPv6 automatically

πŸš€ A revolution by VPS1Dollar

IPv6-Only servers are the future of the Internet. But many users still face one limitation: compatibility with the IPv4 network, which remains dominant today.

To solve this simply, VPS1Dollar created WebGate β€” an exclusive technology built into every VPS, even the $1 plan. It instantly makes your website accessible over IPv4 and IPv6, with no complex setup, no external proxy, and no performance loss.

πŸ”§ What is WebGate?

WebGate is a shared network gateway that automatically bridges IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. It allows visitors to reach your VPS from any Internet connection β€” whether their network is IPv4-only or IPv6-enabled.

Once your domain points to WebGate, it forwards all HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic to your VPS through a dedicated internal VLAN network. Your VPS remains isolated, secure, and fast β€” WebGate handles the rest.

βš™οΈ How it works (simplified)

  1. You have an IPv6-Only VPS hosted in the United States on VPS1Dollar infrastructure.
  2. You add your domain in the client area under the WebGate section.
  3. You configure your DNS A and AAAA records to point to WebGate’s IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
  4. Within minutes, your website becomes accessible worldwide via both IPv4 and IPv6.

No server configuration, no proxy to install, no third-party services needed. WebGate is fully automatic and transparent.

πŸ”’ A clean and isolated technical design

WebGate does not use your VPS’s main bandwidth. It runs on a dedicated internal VLAN exclusively for gateway communication.

  • Zero impact on your VPS main bandwidth.
  • No interference with internal services (FTP, SSH, backups).
  • Full network isolation for maximum security.

Each VPS has its own independent WebGate channel, ensuring a stable 25 Mbps symmetric throughput for web traffic. This speed is more than enough for most websites, and a Premium option with higher speeds will soon be available.

🧩 DNS configuration: the only step you need

To activate WebGate, simply add two DNS records at your registrar:

TypeNameValue
A@WebGate IPv4 address
AAAA@WebGate IPv6 address

Once DNS propagation is complete, your domain becomes accessible automatically through WebGate β€” no VPS reboot required.

🌍 100% IPv4 and IPv6 compatible

With WebGate, your visitors can reach your website over IPv4, IPv6, Cloudflare, or any ISP connection. The system automatically detects the best protocol, ensuring universal compatibility.

πŸ” SSL management: you stay in control

Unlike other gateways, WebGate does not terminate SSL for you. Your VPS fully manages HTTPS certificates. You can freely use Let’s Encrypt, Certbot, or your own certificates for complete end-to-end encryption.

πŸ’Ό WebGate included in all VPS plans

WebGate is included for free in every VPS plan β€” even the $1/month plan.

  • 2 free domains included (note: with and without www count as two)
  • Full subdomain support
  • Optional upgrade to add more domains

🧠 Cloudflare or WebGate? Your choice

You can use either WebGate, Cloudflare, or both. WebGate provides direct IPv4/IPv6 connectivity, while Cloudflare adds CDN and DDoS protection. Using one solution at a time is recommended to avoid overlapping redirects.

πŸ’¬ Why VPS1Dollar created WebGate

IPv6 is the future, but the transition takes time. Many users want an affordable VPS without worrying about IPv4 compatibility. WebGate makes this possible at no extra cost or complexity.

The result: simpler, greener, and more affordable hosting.

⚑ Performance and stability

WebGate is a shared service running on optimized gateway nodes with load balancing and constant monitoring. It guarantees a stable 25 Mbps per VPS and an internal latency of less than 2 ms thanks to its dedicated VLAN.

🧱 Isolation and security

Each VPS has an isolated VLAN link. The system filters traffic, prevents routing loops, and balances loads. The infrastructure is monitored 24/7 to ensure continuous availability.

πŸ“ˆ A strong SEO advantage

A website reachable via both IPv4 and IPv6 ranks better on Google. WebGate provides full connectivity, improving SEO performance and global visibility for your projects.
