Configure VPS - Linux

Step 1

Log In to your account and select Servers option from menu

Once you have created a server, the server is assigned with an IP which can be seen in the web console.

In your VPS Firewall settings, you need to open Port 3389

Just add 3389 and save

Using your local PC, type "Terminal" on your Windows program browser and open it

In your open terminal type ssh and your username (User) and IP address (Host) and click Enter on your keyboard.

ssh (your username)@(your IP number)

Example (DON'T USE THIS IP ADDRESS!!! USE YOUR OWN!!!)
ssh root@194.164.17.59

Please ensure you follow this format precisely, with a space after "ssh".

You can find your IP and Password on your Server tab

Step 5

Type yes and click Enter on your keyboard

Step 6

When the command includes "reboot," it disconnects you from the virtual machine and switches to your physical computer. The reboot restarts the machine, so after it, you'll need to log in again via ssh to continue.

In your open terminal type ssh and your username (User) and IP address (Host) and click Enter on your keyboard.

ssh (your username)@(your IP number)
