Thank you for choosing AKLWEB HOST for your dedicated server needs. This is a guide on how to log into your server for the first time.
- Login to the Dedicated Panel with the credentials that were provided to you within your welcome e-mail.

- Scroll down to the “OS and Login Credentials” section of the page, this is the user name and password that you will use to access the server.
- Scroll down to “Server IP Assignments” and find the “Usable Range”. The server is configured with only the first usable IP in the range; use this server IP to access your server. Please note that in some cases, you may need to switch the drop-down to an IPv4 address if it defaults to an IPv6 address.
If your server has Linux (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc) installed, you will access the server using SSH:?
- For Linux users with a Linux server, execute ‘ssh -l usernamehere IPaddresshere’ and replace usernamehere with your username and IPaddresshere with the first usable IP.
