Usage Q&As
Connecting to your VPS
Once you have received your login from Simply Cloud, which includes your server IP, username and password, you can easily connect to your VPS using Remote Desktop, which is standard in Windows Operating Systems. You can access Remote Desktop in the following way:
By default, you would access the Remote Desktop client on a Vista/7 machine at:
Start >> All Programs >> Accessories
And on a Windows XP machine at:
Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Communications
Alternatively, you can start the program using:
Start >> Run >> mstsc.exe
Search >> mstsc.exe
- Once you have started Remote Desktop, enter the IP address of your server and then click the ‘Connect’ button. (screen 1)
(Screen 1) - If you are using Windows Vista, you will need to confirm that you trust this connection before entering the username and password. The username will always be ‘administrator’ (no quotes) while the unique password will be shown in your Simply Cloud Control Panel. Click the ‘OK’ button to continue. (screen 2)
(Screen 2) - You are now connected to your VPS and will see the desktop of the server where you can configure it. An example of a Windows 2008 desktop is shown below. (screen 3)
