Managing a dedicated server: The (absolute) basics


June 22nd, 2011

How to access your server:

I order to get direct access to the server console it’s done via SSH (Secure SHell) to do so you need a software named Putty if you are running windows just download it (download), run it, give it your IP that that way it would connect, when it asks you your user and password it’s located on the welcome email you received from us that also contains the server IP.

If you are using any linux distribution or a Mac computer, just open the terminal and type ssh IP (Where IP is your server’s IP)

The control panel that is installed by default is called webmin. Most of the tasks that you need to do in order to manage your server can be done there. To access it just head over to your browser and enter https://yourip:10000 . It’s going to ask you for your username and password, it’s the same that you use to access via SSH which is the same you got on the welcome email. From there on you will only need a couple minutes to find all the tasks you need done.
