Summary: Guides for running a VPS from the Service Management page, power and console, graphs and history, network and DNS, the firewall, reinstalling or rescuing the OS, SSH keys, plan changes and add-ons, and cancellation.

Everything you can do to a VPS from the client area. Start with the management page, then jump to the tab you need. Details differ by product (Linux, Storage, Premium, Windows VPS); each guide calls out where they matter.

## Day to day

- [My Services (your services list)](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/my-services). Every service at a glance, renewal method, status, next due date, and the toggle that hides cancelled services.
- [Managing your VPS](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/managing-your-vps). Home base: check health, power on/off and restart, open the Console, reset the root or Admin password, change the hostname, and move between datacenters.
- [Reading your VPS graphs](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/graphs). CPU, memory, disk, and network over time, how to tell if your plan fits, and why to run an in-VPS monitoring agent for the detail.
- [The Tasks log](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/tasks). A history of every action on your VPS and who did it, for troubleshooting and a quick security check.

## Network and DNS

- [Network and IP addresses](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/network). Your IPv4/IPv6, netmask and gateway, and reverse DNS (rDNS/PTR) for mail deliverability.
- [DNS Manager](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/dns). Free DNS hosting: point a domain at your VPS and manage A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, MX, and TXT records.
- [The VPS firewall](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/firewall). The managed firewall (Linux and Storage VPS) that blocks risky app ports by default, and how to whitelist the sources that need in.

## Access and the OS

- [SSH Keys](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/ssh-keys). Save your public keys and pick them when deploying or reinstalling (Linux and Premium VPS).
- [Reinstalling your OS](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/reinstall-os). Wipe and install a fresh OS or one-click app, with your key and login mode set up front. Destructive, so back up first.
- [Boot from ISO](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/boot-from-iso). Premium VPS: boot a rescue or installer ISO without touching your disk, to fix an unbootable system.

## Plan changes and billing

- [Upgrading or downgrading](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/upgrade-downgrade). Move to a bigger or smaller plan. On Linux VPS it's live and instant, no downtime, same IP. Premium VPS is upgrade-only.
- [Moving your VPS to another location](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/migrate-location). The $4 datacenter move with your data, the free re-provision when you don't need it, and the new-IP homework that comes with either.
- [Extra Features (add-ons)](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/extra-features). Add nightly backups, storage, vCPU, traffic, or IPs one at a time without changing your base plan.
- [Cancelling a VPS](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/services/cancellation). Request cancellation immediately or at the end of your billing period, and revoke it if you change your mind.
