How do I access my server?

When you set up your first virtual server with Laser Shark, we'll ask you to add one or more SSH keys to your account. Every time you set up a server with us, we'll automatically add your SSH keys to the server's authorized_keys file so that you can log in securely without a password.

To log in to your virtual server, you'll need its IP address or hostname. We'll email you this when you set up your server, and you can also find it in your control panel. Just SSH in to this IP address or hostname and log in as root.

Remember, as well as logging in via SSH you can manage your server through your control panel, where you can reboot it, power it on or off, or rebuild it from a saved image.
