Networking Issues
This article applies only to the OpenVZ Containers which we do not offer now.
There is a bug where having NetworkManager installed will cause the loss of network connectivity on the server. When this happens, log in via the out-of-band console and remove NetworkManager with your package manager:
apt-get remove NetworkManager
yum remove NetworkManager

If you are experiencing any kind of network issue, please send us a traceroute and/or an mtr to and from the server, so that we can have our networking engineers investigate and submit to our upstream. Our upstream will not accept the report unless it has a traceroute/mtr of both directions
Please run a Traceroute from yourself to the server and from the server to yourself (using the KVM if needed), this will show us where the fault lies.
