Access Advanced Control for your VPS

Sometimes, you may find yourself needing to perform actions and maintenance on your VPS at a low, "hardware" level, such as rebooting, console access, establishing hypervisor-level firewall rules, reviewing performance data, checking logs and more.

Step 1 - Log into your Client Area and click on Active Services.

Step 3 - On the following screen, click on the Advanced Control button.
Note: Some legacy VPS plans do not allow access to this area due to configuration requirements. If you do not see this button in your Client Area, submit a support ticket to confirm whether you can access this console another way.
