VPS & Servers
VPS & Servers
A VPS hands you root and, with it, responsibility for everything above the hypervisor. These guides cover connecting over SSH, installing a control panel if you would rather not administer the box by hand, and the configuration steps that apply to both Linux and Windows instances.
If this is your first unmanaged server, start with the SSH guide and install a panel before anything else. CloudPanel or cPanel will handle web server configuration, certificates and databases for you, which removes most of the ways a fresh VPS goes wrong in its first week.
