MANAGING YOUR VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER
The Hosting Control Center allows you to perform basic account management, including monitoring of bandwidth usage and submission of trouble tickets for problems related to your virtual private hosting account.
If you selected the Simple Control Panel, cPanel, Small Business Panel, or Plesk control panel, you can access your control panel through the Hosting Control Center by clicking on the “Launch (control panel)” icon and you will be directed to the log in page.
For Simple Control Panel, log in using the user name and password you defined in the Hosting Control Center during account setup.
For cPanel, log in using the user name “root” and the password that you defined in the Hosting Control Center during account setup.
For Plesk or Small Business Panel, log in using the user name “admin” and the password you defined in the Hosting Control Center during account setup.
If you have not selected any of these control panel types, you may be able to use a remote-administration tool of your choosing, or an SSH command-line interface, to manage your virtual private server.
If you do not have an SSH client, you can download the Putty SSH freeware client at:
