Create your VPSs

If your service includes a self-service package, in Services you find the "Your package" box: how many VPSs, vCPUs, RAM and disk you used compared with what is included, and the month's usage hours. Within the package you create, change and delete VPSs yourself, whenever you want. VPSs you bought separately stay as they are.

Creating a VPS

Click Create VPS and choose:

• plan: plans that don't fit in the package stay visible but disabled, with the reason;
• location: the datacenter city;
• operating system and, if you want, an application installed at first boot;
• hostname and password (empty = the panel generates it and shows it to you once);
• your saved SSH keys (all ticked already) or another key;
• a first-boot script, if you want (see below);
• your private network, if you want to connect the VPS to your other VPSs.

You get the password right away; the VPS is usually ready in 1–3 minutes.

Changing plan and deleting

On the page of a package VPS there is the Self-service package box:

• Change plan: new CPU and RAM apply from the restart (you can restart right away); the disk grows right away and cannot shrink, so plans with less disk cannot be chosen;
• Delete VPS: confirm by typing the hostname. Disk, snapshots and backups are deleted and the resources become free again in the package.

If the package is suspended its VPSs are shut down and no new ones can be created: contact support.

SSH keys

In My account › SSH keys you save your public keys (one at a time, with a name). You find them already ticked when you create a VPS, and you can pick them when you reinstall the system too. Keys already placed in your VPSs don't change if you remove them from your account.

First-boot script

A script (for example #!/bin/bash and the commands to install your software) that runs once as root at first boot, after the network and after the chosen application. Linux only, up to 64 KB. The output is in /var/log/koavm-script.log inside the VPS.
