Open the VPS console

VNC lets you see the VPS display and use its keyboard even when SSH or RDP is unavailable. Open Console launches noVNC in your browser; a desktop VNC client is another option.
  1. Open the VPS Management Portal.
  2. Select Services → My Services, open your VPS, and select Server Information.
  3. In Server management, click Start VNC.
  4. Wait for VNC: ENABLED in the Information panel and for Open Console to become available.
  5. Click Open Console, then click inside the console window to give it keyboard focus.

Connection details are anonymized and the VNC password is masked.

​
Log in through the browser console

At the operating system’s login screen, use your Linux or Windows username and password. The separate VNC password is for desktop VNC connections; it is not your operating-system password and is not required to open the browser console.

​
Connect with a desktop VNC client

With VNC enabled, the Information panel shows the VNC hostname, port and password. Use those values in your preferred desktop VNC client, then log in to the operating system when prompted.

​
Stop VNC when finished

Close the console or desktop client and click Stop VNC in the portal. The panel returns to VNC: DISABLED and Open Console becomes unavailable. Stopping VNC disconnects console access; it does not stop the VPS.
