A VNC panel (Virtual Network Computing panel) is a remote access interface that allows you to connect to your VPS console directly through your browser. It provides full visual and keyboard access to your server, similar to sitting in front of a physical machine. This is especially useful for performing actions that cannot be done through SSH, such as fixing network misconfigurations, recovering from boot issues, or accessing the server when SSH is unavailable.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of accessing and using the VNC panel for your HostArmada self-managed VPS plan. This will help you efficiently manage your server even in situations where traditional access methods are not working.
To access your HostArmada self-managed VPS’s VNC panel, please log in to your Client Area with us and open the management panel of your self-managed VPS plan. If you are unsure how to access the Client Area, please check our tutorial on the matter. After logging in, please access the management interface of your self-managed VPS by clicking on the service icon corresponding to your package.
Upon doing so, you will be redirected to the self-managed VPS interface, from where you can perform all sorts of management actions.
Once you are redirected to the self-managed VPS interface, please focus on the section located in the middle area of the screen, towards the right side. There you will see the “Web Termina (VNC)” option, which, as the label suggests, will serve as the entry point to access the VNC panel.
Please click on that option to trigger a pop-up window, which will present you with a login form, allowing you to use the VNC and access the server using it.
Please use the “root” username and the self-managed VPS’s root password.
IMPORTANT: Please note that copying and pasting your password into the VNC window will not work; you must type it one symbol at a time.
There you have it! A simple, yet effective way of accessing your server via the VNC panel. We hope that this was easy to follow and that the process went smoothly. If you encounter any issues, please contact our support team via the live chat option on our website or via the ticketing system in your Client Area.
