SSD VPS Management

This guide provides an overview of management options for your SSD VPS. You can control your SSD VPS through the Control Panel or REST API, or ics-cli. For detailed instructions on specific commands and actions, refer to the linked pages in the Server Actions section below.

Inventory

To get started, visit the SSD VPS dashboard in the Control Panel. Here you’ll find a consolidated list of your SSD VPS inventory, showing:

• Hostname
• Primary IP address
• Data center location
• Service ID
• Friendly name
• Status

Use the search box to narrow down by name, location, service, or IP.

Management Interfaces

You can manage your SSD VPS through two primary interfaces:

Console

The Console provides a graphical interface for managing servers. To access individual server functions:

1. In the left navigation bar, select SSD VPS under Services.
2. Click on the server hostname to access the detailed server view.
3. Use the Server Actions dropdown menu in the top right of the page for management operations.
