After You Order

Once your VPS is provisioned, you'll receive an email with:

  • Server IP address
  • Root username and password
  • SSH access details

Connecting via SSH

From your terminal (Mac/Linux) or PowerShell (Windows):

ssh root@your-server-ip

You'll be prompted for your password. After logging in, you have full root access.

First Steps

1. Update the System

yum update -y
(Our VPS servers run AlmaLinux)

2. Secure SSH

  • Change the root password: passwd
  • Consider setting up SSH key authentication
  • Consider changing the SSH port from 22

3. Set Up a Firewall

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=ssh
firewall-cmd --reload

4. Install Your Stack

Install whatever you need — nginx, Apache, Node.js, Python, Docker, databases, etc. It's your server.

Optional: Install DirectAdmin

If you want a control panel (like on shared hosting), we can install DirectAdmin on your VPS. Contact us at helpdesk.rogerle.com to request this.
