Rename the server#

Press Rename, type the new name and press Save. Use letters, digits and hyphens in parts joined by dots, like web-01.example.com. Two of your servers can't share a name, and you can't rename one while it's being built.

This changes the name in the portal, not inside the operating system. To change that too:

hostnamectl set-hostname web-01.example.com
VPS Start, shut down and reboot The power buttons on a server's page, what each one does, and when they are greyed out or missing.VPS Use the browser console Reach your server's screen from the portal, without SSH or the network, and the keys the console adds for you.VPS Set up the firewall Turn on the firewall, allow what should reach your server, and change the order rules are matched in.Billing Cancel a service Stop a service renewing: it runs to the end of what you paid for, and you can change your mind until then.
