How do I log in to my VPS and access the machine?

Your VPS has two sides: the machine itself, which you reach over SSH, and the VPS panel, where you manage power and settings. Knowing which one to use for what makes getting started much smoother.

Note: VPS plans aren't sold any more. If you already have a VPS with us, message the team for help.

Getting onto the machine (SSH)

SSH is the direct, stable way onto your VPS, and it doesn't change while our new VPS panel rolls out. You'll need three things, all provided when your VPS was set up: the root user, your VPS IP address, and the password emailed to you at setup.

1. Open your SSH client (Terminal, PowerShell, PuTTY, or similar).
2. Connect using root, your VPS IP, and your setup password — for example: ssh root@YOUR_VPS_IP.
3. Enter the password from your setup email when prompted.

Once you're in, you have full root access to install software and configure the machine however you like.

Tip: SSH access (root + your IP + password) is the stable way onto the machine and doesn't change with the panel rollout — it's your reliable path in.

Managing the VPS in the panel

The panel is where you handle power actions and settings, separate from working inside the machine.

1. Log in with the credentials emailed when your VPS was set up.
2. From there you can manage power and settings for your instance.
3. Our new VPS panel is rolling out — if the panel login or URL looks different from what you expect, open a ticket and we'll point you to the current steps.
