You will need to use the Windows Remote Desktop program which ships by default with Windows installations. Any Windows 10 or 11 PC will have Windows Remote Desktop installed.
You will need the IP address of the VPS, username (Administrator by default) and the password which will be emailed to you once you have set up your VPS and installed Windows on it.
If you installed Windows Server 2025 you may need to reset the admin password on the VPS dashboard to receive the password by email as this is a limitation of the Windows Server 2025 template at this time.
Step 1.
Open Windows Remote Desktop.
Step 2.
Enter your VPS IP, Username and Password.
Step 3.
Press connect.
That's it!
To connect to your Linux VPS you will need to use a terminal program such as CMD or Windows Powershell, or the Terminal program if you are using a Linux/Mac machine.
You will also need your username (usually root) and password which will be emailed to you.
Step 1.
Open your terminal software.
Step 2.
Login using SSH by typing ssh root@SERVER-IP followed by enter, enter your password
Step 3.
Confirm you want to add the key.
That's it!
