Managing your server

A tour of your server's control panel — status, power controls, live graphs and every tab.

Updated 22 July 2026

Every VPS and dedicated server has its own management page in your control panel. A header stays pinned at the top with the server's name, its power state, hostname and primary IP, and an action row; the detail below is split into tabs.

Status and actions

The header shows a live status pill (running, stopped, and so on) alongside badges for anything in progress, such as a reinstall or a rescue boot. The action row holds:

  • Refresh — re-check the server's status on demand.
  • Power — start, restart or shut the server down. Restart and shut down ask you to confirm first, since anything running is interrupted.
  • Reinstall — jump to the reinstall tab.
  • Open Console — launch the remote console.

The tabs

  • Overview — real-time CPU, memory and disk-I/O stat cards, a resource-usage graph you can switch between metrics, and a bandwidth chart when traffic data is available. A side panel lists server details and billing. Only metrics the platform is actually reporting are shown.
  • Console — a launcher for the single-use remote console.
  • Reinstall — reinstall the operating system (this erases the server).
  • Rescue — boot a temporary recovery environment without touching your disk.
  • IP addresses — the IPs assigned to the server, with reverse DNS where available.
  • Settings — your hostname, plan and specifications, plus access sharing.
  • Activity — a history of actions on the server: power, reinstall, console, reverse DNS and more.

Live updates

While the page is open it updates itself: the status and graphs move on their own as new data arrives, so you rarely need to press Refresh. A small Live indicator on the resource graph shows when the live feed is connected.
