We understand that getting started with managing your own server can be exciting.\nYour server has been password-ready, so you can actually start right away!\nOverview of the Cloud Manager\nAfter ordering, you will be redirected to the corresponding Cloud Manager on Vionity.

SSH allows you to securely access your server and execute commands.\nEstablishing a connection\nFirst, you need to connect to your server via SSH. For this, you need an SSH client program like PuTTY or a terminal on your operating system.\nThe command to establish a connection looks like this:\nssh username@your-server-ip\nIf you are using the root user, the command could look like this:\nssh root@123.45.67.89\nAfter entering the command, you will be prompted to enter your password. Once you have entered this correctly, you have successfully logged into your server.\nMy server is not reachable via SSH \u00f0\u009f\u0099\u0081\nDon’t worry! It can happen that your server is not reachable after ordering. The automatic provisioning of virtual servers involves a lot of tasks. It is possible that one of them is not completely successful. Often a reinstallation helps. If all else fails, support is there for you. But please check if the server is online.\nBasic Navigation Commands\nAfter successful login, you can explore the file system with various commands. Here are the most important ones:\nCommand\nDescription\npwd\nDisplays the current directory.\nls\nLists the contents of the current directory.\ncd\nChanges to another directory.\ncd ..\nChanges to the parent directory.\ncd \/path\/to\/directory\nChanges to a specific directory.\nBasic Navigation Commands\nUseful Tips\nAuto-completion: You can use the Tab key to automatically complete directory names.
