Access your VPS with the web console

Open the console#

1. In Console → VPS, click Console on the machine row. You can also open its details and choose Open console, or find this button in Troubleshooting.
2. A dedicated page opens in a new tab. The VNC session automatically connects to this VPS only; no Newtata credentials are requested for the remote system.
3. Wait for Connected. Click the screen to send keyboard input to the machine.
4. Use Fullscreen to enlarge the display. Actual size shows native pixels; Fit to screen adjusts the image to the window.

Log in to the operating system#

The console shows the VPS screen like a physical monitor. It can display boot messages, a Linux login prompt, an ISO installer or the installed operating system’s graphical interface.

Use the operating system credentials. Your Newtata account and mailbox passwords are not VPS passwords.

If the VPS was installed using an SSH key, this workflow did not generate a root password. Connect by SSH with your key; to set a local password afterwards, use passwd in the operating system with the required privileges. This does not require enabling SSH password login.

The console does not reset passwords, reinstall systems or automatically start a powered-off machine. Manage these actions separately in the server details.

Keyboard, phone and special commands#

1. On a computer, click the remote screen or use Activate keyboard. The keyboard layout remains the one configured in the VPS operating system.
2. On a phone, open Mobile keyboard and tap the input field. Typed characters are sent to the VPS; Enter, Tab and Backspace buttons send those keys.
3. Ctrl+Alt+Del requires confirmation: depending on the operating system, it may reboot the machine. Do not use it during installation or important writes.
4. Fullscreen depends on the browser and may be unavailable on some devices. The console remains usable in the page.

Close and renew the session#

Close console disconnects only the remote screen. The VPS and its programs keep running.

The window disconnects after 10 minutes. Click Open VNC console for a new temporary session. VNC credentials are neither stored in the browser nor added to the page address.

The portal checks your customer session periodically. Signing out or losing access to the service closes the console at the next check, within about 30 seconds when the check responds.

Opening is limited to five requests per minute per account. It is recorded in Activity without retaining temporary credentials.

If the screen stays black or connection fails#

1. Check VPS status in its details. A powered-off machine cannot display a running system; start it from Power if needed.
2. If the machine is running, click the console and press Enter to wake an idle prompt. Do not force a reboot just because the display is asleep.
3. If access expired, sign in to the portal and reopen the console. Close an older window before requesting multiple sessions.
4. If your network blocks WebSockets, try another permitted network or ask its administrator to allow encrypted connections to newtata.com.
5. An ongoing provider operation may delay opening. Refresh the details and retry after it finishes. For a persistent issue, keep the time and displayed message without sharing a key or password.

Availability and cost#

This feature is for real Cloud VPS assigned to your account. It is not a KVM console for dedicated servers and does not work with simulated machines.

Opening the console adds no specific Newtata charge. VPS and option pricing continues as usual. Current trial restrictions still apply.
