Connecting to your VPS via SSH

Every INIZ VPS can be accessed over SSH as soon as it finishes provisioning. Here's how to connect for the first time.

1. Find your connection details

Your IP address, username, and initial password are emailed to you and also shown in the client area under Services → your VPS → Overview.

2. Connect from macOS or Linux

Open a terminal and run:

ssh root@your-server-ip

Enter your password when prompted. You'll be asked to change it on first login.

3. Connect from Windows

Use an SSH client such as PuTTY, or the built-in OpenSSH client in modern Windows Terminal:

ssh root@your-server-ip

4. Set up key-based login (recommended)

Once you're in, copy your public key to the server so you can skip password logins:

ssh-copy-id root@your-server-ip
