CLOUD VPS guides

First login: CLOUD panel and SSH Sign in to the VGNCloud CLOUD panel, finish setup, and SSH in as root. Password by email, or paste your own key. Helsinki VPS, ready in about two minutes. How to choose a VPS plan Pick a VGNCloud VPS without fake benchmarks. Start from memory, guess small, move up later. S1, M2 and L4 are named on the /vps page with live specs. First month on a VPS A first-month VPS checklist: SSH, updates, the panel firewall, backups you take yourself, and what not to postpone. Upgrade a VPS plan Upgrade a VPS to a larger plan from billing. No downgrade: the disk cannot shrink. Extra CPU and RAM after a reboot. Live sizes stay on the VPS page.

Reinstall, delete, or cancel Three different buttons. Reinstall wipes the disk and keeps the address. Delete destroys the machine and does not stop billing. Cancel on the storefront stops billing and removes the machine. VPS firewall in the CLOUD panel Edit VPS firewall rules outside the guest so they hold when the machine does not. Default ACCEPT. Presets for SSH, web and ping. Outbound SMTP stays closed unless we open it. VPS backups: we do not take them yet VGNCloud does not snapshot or back up your VPS. Treat the disk as yours. Copy data off before a reinstall, a delete, or an unpaid invoice. VPS console when SSH will not do Open a browser console in the CLOUD panel and sign in on the VPS itself when a firewall rule or sshd blocks SSH. IPv4 on a VPS, and why it still matters Every VGNCloud VPS has its own IPv4. DNS points at it, mail and games expect it, and it survives a reinstall. Shared hosting does not work that way. Root access on a VPS, explained Root means the machine is yours: packages, ports, users, the lot. Web hosting is a shared box with a panel. Pick the one that matches the job. NVMe vs SATA for a VPS or site VGNCloud VPS disks are NVMe. That is the storage, not a benchmark. When SATA is fine, and when a database will feel the difference. VPS traffic: what counts, what you pay Only outbound traffic is metered. Incoming is free. Go over and you are billed per extra terabyte. The machine is not throttled. Numbers live on the VPS page. Linux VPS with root access A Linux VPS with root is a machine you run. Debian or Ubuntu, your packages, your ports. Specs and images stay on the VPS page. Cancel vs delete a VPS Delete in the panel destroys the machine and keeps the bill. Cancel on the storefront stops billing and removes the machine. Honest, no scare copy. KVM VPS A KVM VPS is a real virtual machine, not a container. Root, a dedicated IPv4, NVMe. Live plans stay on the VPS page. Unmanaged Linux VPS An unmanaged Linux VPS: you are root, we are not. We provision the machine. You patch it. Live plans stay on the VPS page.

Why Helsinki, and a Finnish company The VPS machines are in Helsinki. One location, under Finnish and EU law. A Finnish company (business ID 3555278-8), not a flag of convenience.
