Manage my private server

Content

In this guide, we will see how to manage a private server.

Find here the difference between OpenVZ and KVM VPS proposed by our services.

VPS section

First, go to your trademark control panel, Magic Online or Nuxit.

Go to the section VPS of your client interface.

Think here of activate POP-UPso that the new page can be opened.

Go to the tab VPS servers in the section Hosting from the menu.

The interface finally displays the list of servers, click on the button SEE of the server in question.

The space provides all the options available to properly manage the server. The subscriber will be able to:

Wording

To change the name of a VPS, click on the button Edit of the section Server.

Technical information

In order to consult the resources of a VPS, you have to go to the Technical info.

Restarting a VPS

When there is a need to reboot the VPS, first click on the RESTART YOUR SERVER of the section TOOLS.

The interface then asks for confirmation to start the reboot.

Traffic and statistics

To consult the traffic and statistics, first follow the button SERVER of the section TOOLS.

It is possible to sort by outgoing traffic, incoming traffic, processor load, used disk, free memory and used memory. Just choose the traffic period.

DNS reversals

It is possible to add DNS reverses specific to your server.

To do this, first click on the MANAGEMENT OF DNS REVERSALS of the section TOOLS.

Reverse DNS, also called pointer record or PTR-Record, allows you to obtain the domain name associated with a given IP address.

It is important to have Reverse DNS to avoid denial of access to certain services, such as email. An e-mail sent from a server that does not have Reverse DNS, will have a high chance of being refused or sent in spam.

The interface allows you to add or remove a reverse DNS.

SSH access

To change the SSH password, simply follow the button SSH PASSWORD of the section TOOLS.

Enter the new password twice and click on OK.

Backups

The menu TOOLS offers to restore backups made by the system. Just follow the button BACKUP MANAGEMENT.

The space displays a list of copies and it is therefore possible to launch the restoration if necessary.

The restoration strictly overwrites all data to install the contents of the restored copy, without the possibility of going back.

Reinstalling a VPS

This last section allows you to reinstall the server with the chosen operating system.

Reinstalling a VPS will strictly overwrite all data with no possibility to go back.

The OSes offered with Plesk require a license to be ordered in advance.
