Reinstall in one click
Pick an image from the OS library and reinstall a server without opening a ticket.
Control panel
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.
Pick an image from the OS library and reinstall a server without opening a ticket.
Power on, power off or reboot a server out of band, even when the operating system no longer responds.
Boot a rescue system to repair a broken install, or open the HTML5 KVM console in your browser.
Set PTR records for your addresses, which mail servers and many monitoring tools expect.
How it works
One account for your servers and support tickets, with invoices and API keys next.
Select the server you want to work on from your server list.
Reinstall, reboot, enter rescue mode, set reverse DNS, open the KVM console or view IPMI credentials.
Every panel action has a matching REST API call when you want to script it.
In detail
Routine work on a dedicated server shouldn't need a support ticket. From the panel you can:
ipmitool against the server.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.
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:
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
