Setting up my VPS
This article will show you how to set up your Virtual Private Server.
If you’re not sure how to take your VPS online, simply follow the steps outlined below.
Please note: the following article was originally created for our current generation of Virtual Private Servers. As such, these instructions may not be relevant to our previous generation of Virtual Private Servers.
Start by logging in to your 123 Reg Control Panel.
Next, select Servers within the ‘All Products and Services’ section.
Find the VPS wish to rebuild and click Manage opposite it.
On the next page, you’ll need to complete a few details for your server.
Simply enter a name for your server into the provided field and then choose which OS and data centre location you wish to use (if necessary). If you’re not sure which data centre to use, choose the one that’s closest to you.
Once you’ve done this, click Next.
On the next page, you’ll need to create a username and password for your Admin user.
From there, click Finish to confirm these settings.
Please note: your username should use a mixture of lowercase letters and numbers, and shouldn’t include the terms ‘server’ or ‘password’.
After a few minutes, your server will be ready for you to use.
Please note: if your server still isn’t ready after 6 hours, please contact our Support team.
