Web Console

Console, or terminal, is a traditional method for managing Linux systems.

You enter commands into the terminal to be executed on the server and immediately see the result. All Linux distributions, FreeBSD and many others work this way. 

SSH clients (programs for working with the SSH protocol) exist for every operating system and are often built-in. On Linux or MacOS, you can use Terminal; on Windows — Windows PowerShell or PuTTY.

However, to connect to a Hostman server from the terminal on your machine, the server must have an Internet connection and SSH connections allowed. If for some reason Internet access on the cloud server is terminated or limited, you can use the web console in the Hostman control panel.

To connect as the root user, you need to use the login root and your root password, which can be copied from the server Dashboard:

If you created an additional user on the server, you can also log in using its username and password.

Paste from clipboard

The console supports pasting from the clipboard. You can copy passwords or commands and paste them into the console using the standard Ctrl+V key combination.

Full screen mode

For convenience, the console can be expanded to full screen:
