How to logon to my server

Tilaa provides several ways to access your VPS.

Method 1: Video Display 

All Tilaa VPSs come with a web-based console. This console allows you to interact with the VPS in the same way that you would if you were sitting in front of a physical computer. Even if your VPS isn't responding over the network, you can use the console to see what's going on. If you're having issues with your VPS, one of the first places to look is the open video display. 

Method 2: Linux VPS 

You could connect via SSH. On all Linux VPS, SSH access is enabled. Secure Shell (SSH) is an encrypted connection that connects your computer to your server. The SSH TCP port is set to 22 by default. 

Using a Linux or BSD computer to log in: 

You can login with the following command on a shell:  

ssh root@ip.ip.ip.ip 

Enter your root password when required. 

Using a Windows computer to log in: 

Although Windows does not come with an SSH client, there are a few possibilities. PuTTY is most popular. Run the software when it has been installed, and when prompted, enter your server's IP address. 

Using a Mac OS X computer to log in: 

You will need to open a command prompt on your Mac to get access. Use the following line: 

ssh root@ip.ip.ip.ip 

Enter your root password when required. 

Method 3: Windows VPS 

Windows servers are delivered with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The Microsoft RDP client is included in all current versions of Windows. 

Using a Linux or BSD computer to log in: 

To enable RDP sessions to servers, you will need to install a package. Some of the most popular clients for Linux are ‘Remmina', ‘rdesktop' and ‘krdc'. 

Using a Windows computer to log in: 

You do not need to install anything because the Remote Desktop Connection application is already installed.  

Using a Mac OS X computer to log in: 

Additional software is required to establish a remote desktop connection. Popular macOS client is ‘CoRD'. Run the software once it has been installed and input your server's IP address when prompted. 

Where can I find my server password? 

The login details server displays (in plain text) the unique random password that was assigned to the VPS after it was created.  

The password is the primary credential for the operating system. On a Windows VPS, this is the password for the Administrator account, and on a Unix-based VPS, this is the password for the root account. 

When you change the password for the Administrator or root accounts manually, Tilaa will not know the new password, and the password displayed here will no longer work. 

• In the menu bar, select VPS. 
  
• Click on the VPS which you want to check the password. 
  
  
• You can find the Root password in the Login details server box.
