Managing Dedicated Server in Dash
Open Servers in Dash and select View details on a Dedicated Server. The header shows the name, a Dedicated Server label, the status, and the hostname and main IP address.
Overview tab
Read-only details in three panels:
- Summary: plan, operating system, location, Processor (the CPU model), memory, storage, bandwidth, and uplink.
- Network: hostname, primary IPv4, IPv6, and additional IPs (View more).
- Billing: cycle, renewal date, renewal setting, and the date it was provisioned.
The Billing panel follows the server's state:
| State | Shows |
|---|---|
| Waiting for setup | Waiting for activation |
| Active | Renews and the date |
| Cancellation scheduled | Runs until and the date |
| Suspended | Suspended at and a View invoice link. The header adds Scheduled for termination on a date. |
| Terminated or cancelled | Ended and the date |
The Operating system row shows the image you ordered and doesn't change after a reinstall.
Management tab
Shown only while the server is Active. Each card appears only when it's available for this server:
| Card | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Power | Power state, refresh, Power off, Power on, Reboot on the physical machine |
| Console | Request IPMI access: 2 hours of hardware-level access from one IP address, with a temporary user |
| Reinstall operating system | Request a clean install from our team. Erases the server's disks. |
Dedicated Servers have IPMI instead of the HTML console that a VPS has. If an Active server shows no cards, contact Customer Care. Steps are in Common Dedicated Server actions.
Billing tab
Invoices for this server, plus the Renewal, Billing cycle, and Danger zone cards. See Dedicated Server billing and lifecycle.
