Deploying Your First VPS

Order a VPS

From the customer area open Store → VPS, choose a plan, and pick a datacenter. Linux templates (Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky, Alma) provision in roughly two minutes; Windows templates take a few minutes longer.

Configuration options

Hostname — what your server identifies itself as.
Root password — auto-generated and shown once. Copy it to a password manager immediately.
SSH keys — paste a public key (recommended). The panel installs it during provisioning so you can log in without a password.
Optional one-click apps — install Docker, Nginx Proxy Manager, Webmin, Cockpit, Netdata, Portainer, or WireGuard in a single click.

Watch provisioning

The service detail page shows a live progress log: image staging, cloud-init, network bring-up, then ready. When status flips to Running, the IP address and connection details are populated.

Connect

For Linux, open a terminal and run:

ssh root@YOUR.SERVER.IP

For Windows, use the panel’s built-in VNC console (Console tab on the service page) or Remote Desktop once you have changed the default password.

What to do first

Update the system: apt update && apt upgrade -y (Ubuntu/Debian) or dnf upgrade -y (Rocky/Alma).
Create a non-root user and add your SSH key to it.
Disable password login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config once key login is verified.
Enable a firewall (ufw or firewalld).

When SSH is broken, the in-panel VNC console gives you direct keyboard access to the VM. Recovery mode boots a rescue ISO so you can repair a disk that will not boot.
