Learn about and familiarize yourself with the OVHcloud Control Panel.
OVHcloud has combined all of its Kimsufi, So you Start, and Rise dedicated servers into a new product line called Eco, to give you a better overview of our configurations. Due to these changes, you can now manage all of your services, across all ranges, from the OVHcloud Control Panel. To support you in this change we will introduce you to the OVHcloud Control Panel and its options.
Instructions
Dashboard
If you have purchased a server from the Eco product line, you can find your dashboard in the OVHcloud Control Panel. The Dashboard provides a summary of all your services. This interface has several sections that allow you to access a service instantly.
The right-hand column gives you access to your personal information, customer code, invoices, and help center. It also provides a set of shortcuts and useful links.
Accessing a server
From the OVHcloud Control Panel, select Bare Metal Cloud from the top navigation bar, then click Dedicated servers to display your servers.
If you have several servers, the All my servers button allows you to list them for easy access.
