VPS

Connecting to your VPS

SSH keys, the one-time root password and the browser serial console.

Using an SSH key (recommended)

Paste your public key (for example the contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub) when ordering. Then connect with: ssh root@your-ip-address

Using the initial password

A random root password is generated for every new VPS. Reveal it once from the service page — it is deleted from our systems as soon as you view it, so store it in a password manager and change it after logging in.

Browser console

The Console tab connects to your VPS serial console. It works even if networking or SSH is misconfigured — handy for recovery.

Reinstalling

Reinstalling wipes all data on the server. You will be asked to type your hostname to confirm.
