VPS creation and lifecycle

Configure CPU, RAM, disk, operating system and a name, then review the price before deploying a cloud VPS.

How it works

The create form displays the estimated monthly and hourly costs. VPS billing differs from terminal billing: paused instances retain a storage charge where shown.

SSH opens the interactive terminal for a Linux VPS. Copy SSH copies the connection command; RDP copies the Remote Desktop address for Windows. Reveal or copy the password when connecting.

Stop pauses CPU and RAM for permanent-disk VPS instances while storage remains billed. Start resumes the instance. Delete removes the VPS; save files you need before deleting it.

Upgrade changes resources and restarts the VPS. Permanent-disk upgrades preserve files, and disk size can only grow. Older ephemeral instances show a separate warning: migration to permanent storage reinstalls the OS and erases current files.

Windows evaluation images run for the evaluation period stated in the form and then require activation. Use the administrator account and your own license key when activation is needed.

Controls and settings

REFRESH

Requests the latest data for this section. It does not start, stop or replay a trade.

New VPS

Configure CPU, RAM, disk, operating system and a name, then review the price before deploying a cloud VPS.

Operating System Image

Selects the operating-system image used when the VPS is created. Review Windows evaluation and access notes where shown.

Server Name (Optional)

Optional display name for identifying the VPS in your workspace.

Cancel

Closes the edit or setup form without submitting its pending changes.

Top Up Balance

Opens Add service credit. Review the amount and payment method before paying. Credit is added to your MetaRPC service balance, not to a broker account.

Deploy VPS

Creates the VPS with the selected resources and image. Review the displayed monthly and hourly estimate; provisioning and service charges apply after submission.

Vps upgrade

Applies the selected resource changes and restarts the VPS. Disk size can only grow. Read the migration warning for older ephemeral instances because that path erases and reinstalls the disk.

CANCEL

Closes the edit or setup form without submitting its pending changes.

APPLY UPGRADE

Applies the selected resource changes and restarts the VPS. Disk size can only grow. Read the migration warning for older ephemeral instances because that path erases and reinstalls the disk.

Server & OS

The VPS display name and installed operating-system image. Use its connection details for SSH or Remote Desktop access.

Specs

Sets the requested CPU, RAM or disk capacity. The control displays its allowed range and updates the price estimate. Disk upgrades can only increase capacity.

Hourly Rate & Usage

Configure CPU, RAM, disk, operating system and a name, then review the price before deploying a cloud VPS.

SSH & Access

The browser SSH window provides an interactive shell on the selected VPS. Commands act on that server.

Copy Password copies the root password. Reconnect re-establishes the shell session. Clear clears the visible terminal screen, and Re-fit size adjusts the shell display to its window.

Status

The VPS lifecycle state. Wait for in-progress actions to finish before sending another request.

Actions

Configure CPU, RAM, disk, operating system and a name, then review the price before deploying a cloud VPS.

Copy SSH command

Copies the displayed value to your clipboard. Check the destination before pasting credentials or account identifiers.

Copy the Remote Desktop address

Copies the displayed value to your clipboard. Check the destination before pasting credentials or account identifiers.

Hide Password

Shows or hides the saved credential on screen. This does not change that credential.

Copy Password

Copies the displayed value to your clipboard. Check the destination before pasting credentials or account identifiers.

SSH

Opens the interactive SSH window for the selected server. Commands entered there run on that VPS.

STOP

Pauses the VPS. Permanent-disk instances keep their files and continue storage billing. Older ephemeral instances show a warning that their disk resets on stop.

START

Starts the VPS again. Check its state and connection details when startup finishes; active resource billing resumes.

A vps lifecycle request is in progress. wait for the resulting state before issuing another action.

Change CPU, RAM or disk size

Applies the selected resource changes and restarts the VPS. Disk size can only grow. Read the migration warning for older ephemeral instances because that path erases and reinstalls the disk.

DELETE

Deletes the selected VPS. Back up needed files first; deleting a server is different from closing its SSH window.

Vps size

Sets the requested CPU, RAM or disk capacity. The control displays its allowed range and updates the price estimate. Disk upgrades can only increase capacity.

Estimated Cost

The create form displays the estimated monthly and hourly costs. VPS billing differs from terminal billing: paused instances retain a storage charge where shown.
