Assigning a Reserved IP

A Reserved IP (static ip) is highly recommended to have the same IP after changing the size of your Droplet.

To create a Reserved IP, do the following steps:

2. Select your Droplet and click on the button Assign Reserved IP.

Access CloudPanel

Security

For security reasons, access CloudPanel as fast as possible to create the admin user. There is a small time window where bots can create the user. It's highly recommended to open port 8443 only for your IP via firewall.

You can now access CloudPanel via Browser: https://yourIpAddress:8443

Ignore the self-signed certificate warning and click on Advanced and Proceed to continue to CloudPanel.
