​
Server Reinstallation

You can easily reinstall your server by going to the Reinstall tab. You can choose from a variety of operating system distributions available. Windows Server

​
ISO Mounting

Please open a ticket if you wish to use a custom ISO. Once added, you can mount an ISO image by navigating to Settings -> Hardware and selecting an ISO to mount. In this tab, you can also change the boot order to prioritize your ISO. Once done with the ISO, please remove the ISO in the Settings -> Hardware tab and then notify support.

​
Password

In order to change your password, please navigate to Settings -> Security. You can change your password or add an SSH key here. Adding an SSH key may require a server restart, but resetting the password does not. SSH keys are not supported with Windows servers.

​
Power Actions

You can force stop or start the server at any time. The force stop command is not recommended as it will result in an instant shutdown, potentially causing data integrity issues for your virtual server. Running the shutdown command within the VM is your best option.

​
Backups

You may enable backups through the control panel, by navigating to the Backups tab and clicking the slider. Backups are currently experimental. Restoring a backup will cause full loss of your existing data. Backups are made on a best-effort basis, meaning that we cannot guarantee the longevity or reliability of them. Typically, we take backups once a day and keep up to 5 days worth of backups. This is not a replacement for taking your own, individual backups. Backups can take multiple hours to restore since they are pulled from cold storage. It is recommended to take a backup of your VPS prior to restoration.

​
Remote Console

You can choose to use our noVNC console, but this should only be used in emergency situations. You should ideally connect directly with SSH or RDP.

​
Firewall

You can establish firewall rules to block or accept traffic. To disable the firewall, you may delete all of the rules.
