How can I access my Contabo server remotely?

Asked a month ago
Accessing a Contabo server remotely can be achieved through several methods, depending on the type of server you have and the operating system it runs. For Virtual Private Servers, which are commonly used, the most straightforward approach is through Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH. You will need an SSH client installed on your local machine. For Windows users, tools like PuTTY are often used, while users of macOS and Linux can use the terminal directly. To connect, you will typically use the server's IP address, your server's username, and the password or SSH key associated with the account. Once the SSH client is opened, you would input the command that includes the IP address followed by your username. For those using Windows servers, Remote Desktop Protocol, known as RDP, is a common option. You would use the Remote Desktop Connection program, enter the server's IP address, and provide the required credentials. It is advisable to check Contabo's official documentation or the relevant web page for detailed instructions tailored to your specific server setup and operating system.
