Use the browser console on your Cloud VPS

Open your server's screen directly in the browser — useful when SSH is not working, a firewall rule locked you out, or the server does not boot normally.

When to use it

The browser console shows your server's screen as if you had a monitor attached. It works even when SSH does not, for example after:

• a firewall rule or SSH setting that locked you out;
• a network configuration mistake;
• a boot problem you need to watch.

Open the console

1. Sign in to the client area, open Services and select your Cloud VPS.
2. Click Console (or Open console).
3. A new page connects to your server. When it shows Live console, you can type.
4. Log in as root with your root password from the Overview tab.

The top bar shows a Console password with Show and Copy buttons, in case the console asks for it.

Session time limit

For security, each console session lasts a limited time. The remaining time is shown at the top (Your console session will expire in …). When it ends, click Request a new session →.

Tips

• Copy and paste may not work inside the console. For long commands, connect with SSH once access is restored.
• Keyboard layout. The console uses your server's keyboard layout. If symbols come out wrong, type carefully or change the layout on the server.
• Connection failed? Check on the Overview tab that the server is running, then request a new session.
