VPS Setup Guide

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) provides dedicated resources on shared hardware, offering the flexibility to choose operating systems and install custom software. VPS instances function as independent machines with their own allocated CPU, memory, and storage resources.

Initial Setup Process

1. Access the VPS Panel

Log in to the Vluxon VPS panel using the credentials provided in your welcome email.

2. Begin VPS Configuration

Locate the new VPS server with "awaiting setup" status and click Manage.

3. Configure Basic Settings

Complete the following required fields:

  • VPS Name: Enter a descriptive name for identification
  • Hostname: Specify the server hostname (optional)
  • Timezone: Select the appropriate timezone for your location

4. Select Operating System

Choose from the available operating system options:

OS Type Description
Linux Distributions Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian variants
Windows Server Various Windows Server versions
Self Install Custom OS installation (limited support)

Note: Self Install option is intended for advanced users deploying custom operating systems. Technical support will be limited for self-installed systems.

5. SSH Key Configuration

  1. Click Add Key to generate SSH authentication credentials
  2. Save the generated private key to a secure location immediately
  3. Store the key file with appropriate permissions (chmod 600 on Unix systems)

6. Advanced Configuration (Optional)

Access additional settings through Advanced Options:

VNC Access

Enable VNC for remote desktop connectivity when graphical interface access is required.

DNS Configuration

Select IPv4 Public DNS Resolvers to use external DNS servers instead of default resolvers.

Note: Advanced options can be modified after initial installation if needed.
