Control panel

Every server action, one click away

One place for day-to-day operations on your servers, from a power cycle to a full reinstall. The client area is live with your servers and 24/7 support tickets; these actions roll out in it next, each one also exposed through the REST API.

Highlights

Reinstall in one click

Pick an image from the OS library and reinstall a server without opening a ticket.

Power and reboot

Power on, power off or reboot a server out of band, even when the operating system no longer responds.

Rescue mode and KVM

Boot a rescue system to repair a broken install, or open the HTML5 KVM console in your browser.

Reverse DNS

Set PTR records for your addresses, which mail servers and many monitoring tools expect.

How it works

Control panel, step by step.

  1. 1

    Sign in to the client area

    One account for your servers and support tickets, with invoices and API keys next.

  2. 2

    Open a server

    Select the server you want to work on from your server list.

  3. 3

    Run the action

    Reinstall, reboot, enter rescue mode, set reverse DNS, open the KVM console or view IPMI credentials.

  4. 4

    Automate it later

    Every panel action has a matching REST API call when you want to script it.

In detail

What you should know.

01

Everyday operations without tickets

Routine work on a dedicated server shouldn't need a support ticket. From the panel you can:

  • Reinstall any image from the OS library: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Windows Server or Proxmox VE.
  • Reboot or power-cycle the server out of band, which works even when the OS has hung.
  • Set reverse DNS for your addresses, which mail servers and many monitoring tools expect.
  • Open the KVM console to see the server's screen and use its keyboard in your browser.
  • Retrieve IPMI credentials to use standard tools such as ipmitool against the server.
  • Download invoices for the monthly charges on your account.

Each of these actions is also exposed in the REST API, so the panel and your automation never drift apart. Use the panel for one-off work, and the API or the Terraform provider for anything you do more than twice.

02

When a server won't boot

A bad kernel update, a broken fstab entry or a firewall rule that locks you out are the usual reasons a server stops answering SSH. The panel gives you two ways back in:

  • KVM console: watch the boot in your browser, pick an older kernel from the boot menu, or log in locally when the network is down.
  • Rescue mode: boot a minimal Linux system instead of your OS, then mount your disks to fix configuration files, repair a file system or copy data off.

A typical rescue session: enable rescue mode and reboot, connect over SSH with the rescue credentials, assemble software RAID with mdadm --assemble --scan if you use it, mount the root file system and correct the problem. Then disable rescue mode and reboot into your own OS. The reinstall and rescue docs walk through each step.

FAQ

Control panel, answered.

Can I use the control panel today?

The client area is live: it lists your servers and gives you 24/7 support tickets. Power actions, reinstalls, rescue mode and reverse DNS roll out in it next. Until then, open a ticket and an engineer performs the action for you. The REST API covers the same actions as the panel.

Does a reinstall erase my data?

Assume it does: a reinstall overwrites the disks the new operating system is installed on. Back up anything you need first, or use rescue mode to copy data off before reinstalling. Servers are unmanaged, so backups are your responsibility.

What is rescue mode for?

Rescue mode boots a minimal Linux system instead of your installed OS. Use it to repair a broken boot configuration, fix file systems, reset a lost password or copy data off the disks. When you're done, disable it and reboot into your own system.

Can I set reverse DNS for my IP addresses?

Yes. You can set reverse DNS (PTR records) for your addresses from the panel or the API. Mail servers in particular need a PTR record that matches the hostname they announce.
