Applies toVPS
What you need
| Item | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| VPS IP address | [YOUR_IP], in your client area [To be confirmed] |
| User | Usually root on a fresh install |
| Password or SSH key | The welcome email or [CLIENT_AREA_LINK] [To be confirmed] |
Connect
Open a terminal and run:
bash
ssh root@[YOUR_IP]Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities) and run:
bash
ssh root@[YOUR_IP]Windows 10 and 11 include OpenSSH. Open PowerShell and run:
powershell
ssh root@[YOUR_IP]If you prefer a graphical client, PuTTY works with the same IP and port 22.
Use an SSH key instead of a password
Generate a key on your computer
bashssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "my-laptop"Copy the public key to the VPS
bashssh-copy-id root@[YOUR_IP]Check that you get in without a password
bashssh root@[YOUR_IP]
What if the connection hangs or says "Connection refused"?
- Check the IP and that the VPS is running in the panel [To be confirmed].
- If you use a firewall, make sure port 22 is open. See the basic ufw firewall.
- As a last resort, use rescue mode.
