First SSH Connection to Your VDS

Connecting to Your VDS via SSH

After receiving your VDS credentials, connect via SSH to configure the server.

From Linux/macOS

ssh root@your-server-ip

From Windows

Use the built-in SSH client (Windows 10+) or PuTTY.

First Steps After Login

1. Update the system: apt update && apt upgrade -y
2. Create a new user: adduser myuser && usermod -aG sudo myuser
3. Configure UFW: ufw allow 22 && ufw enable

Never leave root with a password on a production server. Use SSH keys.
