VPS SSH access
Connect to your KVM VPS with root credentials and harden access.
Find your credentials
After provisioning, open Client Area → My Services → Manage. Root password and IP address are on the service details page.
Connect via SSH
ssh root@YOUR_SERVER_IP
On first login, change the root password if prompted and update packages:
apt update && apt upgrade -y
Create a sudo user (recommended)
adduser deploy
usermod -aG sudo deploy
Disable password root login only after confirming your new user can sudo.

ufw allow OpenSSH
ufw enable
Open additional ports (e.g. 25565/tcp for Minecraft) as needed for your workload.
