When you deploy a VPS, LumaDock creates the server in the location you chose and gives it a public IP address. A LumaDock VPS is unmanaged: we run the hardware and the network, and you run everything inside the server.
Finding your login details
Go to My servers and click Manage. The server is ready when its Status shows Running. The Information block shows the Username, the Server Password and the SSH Port.
The same details are in the New Product Login Information email. On a Linux server, connect with:
ssh root@YOUR.VPS.IP
A Windows VPS uses Remote Desktop instead, as shown in Connect to your Windows VPS using RDP.
What a new VPS includes
A public IP address, shown next to Public IP on the server's page.
Basic DDoS protection.
No client-area firewall rules. You add them under Firewall.
Backup slots depend on the plan. You can add slots under Reconfigure Options.
Outgoing email on port 25 is filtered on new servers to prevent abuse. The details are in Check which ports are open on your VPS firewall.
What LumaDock manages and what you manage
LumaDock.
The hardware, the network, the virtualization platform and the client area.
You.
Everything inside the server: updates, software, users, the firewall in the operating system, your data and your backups.
