All Linux VPS have SSH access.

Linux and MacOS include an SSH client by default. If you use Windows we recommend using PuTTY for all your SSH needs.

You can download PuTTY here 


In order to connect to your server via terminal:

  • Open a Terminal and enter the following command to connect to your server as a root user:


ssh root@your_VPS_IP_address
  • For example, if the server IP address is 192.168.0.100, the command would look like this:


ssh root@192.168.0.100
  • You will get the following message if you try to connect to your server for the first time:


The authenticity of host '192.168.0.100 (192.168.0.100)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 79:95:46:1a:ab:37:11:8e:86:54:36:38:bb:3c:fa:c0.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
  • Type 'yes' to continue to connect.
  • Enter your root password

(warning) Your can find your root password in the "Your VPS is deployed" email, as well as in the server management section of your server (it will be revealed after you press the "show root password" button)

4. Done! You are connected to your server via SSH and you can manage your VPS.
