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.
Add-ons tab
The add-ons on this server, and the ones you can add to it. Each add-on shows its price and its status. It appears while the server is Active, when the server has an add-on or its plan offers one. See Buy, change, or remove an add-on.
Billing tab
Invoices for this server, plus the Renewal, Billing cycle, and Danger zone cards. See Dedicated Server billing and lifecycle.
