noVNC Console

noVNC Console

The noVNC console provides browser-based access to your VPS. It works like sitting in front of a physical monitor connected to your server — you see the full screen output and can type directly, all without installing any software.

When to Use the noVNC Console

The primary use case for the noVNC console is when SSH access is not available:

• Locked out of SSH — If you accidentally broke your SSH configuration, firewall rules, or network settings, the noVNC console lets you log in and fix the problem.
• Boot issues — If your VPS is not booting properly, the console shows boot messages and error output that you would not see over SSH.
• OS installation — When installing a custom operating system from an ISO, the noVNC console provides the graphical or text-based installer interface.
• GRUB or kernel issues — Troubleshoot bootloader problems directly.

How to Access

1. Open your VPS in the panel.
2. Navigate to the Console tab.
3. The noVNC viewer loads in your browser and connects to your server’s virtual display.

Using the Console

• Click inside the console window to focus it. Your keyboard input will be sent directly to the VPS.
• Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete through the panel’s toolbar button (not your keyboard) to send that key combination to the server.
• The console supports copy and paste, though behavior varies by browser and operating system.

Performance

The noVNC console streams the server display over a WebSocket connection. It is responsive enough for terminal work but not designed for graphical desktops or latency-sensitive tasks. For day-to-day administration, SSH remains the faster and more comfortable option.

Troubleshooting

If the console shows a black screen, your VPS may still be booting. Wait a moment and try pressing Enter or a key to wake the display. If the VPS is stopped, start it from the panel first.
