A tour of the console

A quick map of what is in the console and where to find it.

Find things fast

Search. Press Ctrl+K (⌘K on Mac) to search your servers by name or IP address.
Instances. Your servers, their status and quick actions. Open a server to see its details, its Activity history and its power and delete controls.
Setup banner. If your account still needs something (such as a verified email or a card), a banner on every page tells you what.

Launch instance walks you through region, operating system, size, and options.

OS tab: standard Linux distributions, including the free UK Baseline image.
Solutions tab: ready-made application images such as Docker, PostgreSQL and k3s.
Custom Images tab: images you have uploaded. To install from an ISO instead, stop a server and attach the ISO under Boot media on its page; it boots at the next start. ISO booting is enabled per organisation, so ask support if the option is unavailable.
Optional: Deploy from Git, and a backup plan.

Your SSH keys are installed on new servers by default. Manage them on the SSH Keys page.

Firewall. Inbound and outbound rules. See Networking.
Public IPs. Assign, reassign, and release addresses.
Reverse DNS. Name a server with a full domain name (like mail.example.com) and its reverse DNS record is set for you.
VPN Access. Generate a WireGuard config to reach private servers from your own device.

Billing. Credit, payment method, spending cap, and invoices. See Understanding billing.
Resource limits. What your account can use, how much you have used, and a button to ask for more. Requests open a support ticket.
Team. Invite colleagues and manage who can do what.
API Keys and API Docs. Automate the console from your own tools.

Support. Open a ticket for a support request, bug, server or network issue, billing question, or account question. You can follow replies in the same place.
Feature requests. Suggest and vote on what we build next. We reply on the board when something is planned or shipped.
Status page. Live platform status and planned maintenance.
