3. GPU Server Management Overview
Once your GPU Server has been successfully deployed, you can easily manage it via the Control Panel for GPU Servers. In the table below, we’ll guide you through the key features and functions of the GPU server management interface.
| Tab Name | Sections | Introduction | Functions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overview | Server Connection Information | Available for GPU VPS and GPU Dedicated Server. This section provides the necessary details for accessing your server, including: IP, Port, Login Name, Login Password, and Operating System. It offers quick tools to reset passwords, add IPs, and access the connection KB. |
Primary IP - the unique network address of your server. Access Port – the network port used for remote access. Login Name/Login Password – the server login credentials for authentication. Operating System – the installed OS running on the server. Dedicated IP - contact us to request dedicated IPs here. Connections: - Windows GPU Server Connection: Use Primary IP:Port (e.g., 108.111.111.11:3389) to connect to GPU Server using RDP - Linux GPU Server Connection: (Ubuntu/Debian) use sudo -i to switch to the root user |
| Overview | Available for GPU VPS and GPU Dedicated Server. This section displays the essential information of your package, including product, GPU server name, billing cycle, configuration, payment method, price, created date, and due date. It also allows you to directly modify the VPS server name, billing cycle, and payment method. |
Product - Product Name Name - Server name, can be changed. Billing Cycle: Monthly, quarterly, annually, biennially billing cycle. The longer, the lower the price. Configuration - CPU/RAM/Disk/Bandwidth Payment Method: Support Credit Card and PayPal. It can be changed. Price – Recurring amount. Created – The date that the package is created Due Date – The date that the package expires |
|
| Real-Time Status | Available for GPU VPS. This section shows the current server status and resource usage in real time, helping you monitor performance and ensure smooth operation. If one or more resources consistently remain at 80% or higher, you can go to the Scaling section to upgrade to a higher plan or purchase add-ons for better performance. |
CPU/Memory/Disk - Displays the current usage of server resources as a percentage, allowing you to monitor performance and identify potential bottlenecks. Status - Running – The server is powered on and actively running, with all processes operational. - Shut Off – The server is completely powered down and not running any processes. - Paused – The server’s processes are temporarily frozen and its state is saved to disk; it can be resumed later without losing data. |
|
| Scaling/Addon-Option | Available for GPU VPS and GPU Dedicated Server. This section allows clients to purchase add-ons to get more resources. For GPU VPS, the system will automatically allocate resources after your payment, usually resulting in only 3–5 minutes of downtime. For a GPU dedicated server, some of the addon-requests will be submitted before payment, so the team can verify if the request can be met. |
Add-ons - Add additional CPU cores, memory, disk space, and bandwidth. For GPU dedicated servers, you can also request to add a hardware firewall, NVLink, an HDMI Dummy, and a private network. Note: If the host lacks sufficient resources, migration to a higher-capacity host is required, and the IP will change. The process may take longer, but it is normally completed within 24 hours. |
|
| Server Management | Server Control | Available for GPU VPS and GPU Dedicated Server. The Server Control section displays the server status and uptime, and provides control options such as Reset, Turn Off, Shut Down, Power On, Pause, Resume, and Reboot. For GPU Dedicated Servers, only some of these control actions (Shut Down, Power On, and Reboot) are available. |
Status - Running/Shut Off/Paused/ Uptime - Indicates how long the server has been running since it was last started, helping you monitor stability and performance. Actions - Reset – Immediately turns off and restarts your GPU Server without saving data. - Turn Off – Stops your GPU server and terminates all processes without saving data. - Shut Down – Powers off your GPU Server after saving changes and closing processes. - Power On – Turns on the GPU Server; use this after it has been shut down or turned off. - Pause – Temporarily freezes all processes and saves the state to disk. - Resume – Continues running your GPU Server from the paused state without losing data. - Reboot – Gracefully shuts down and restarts your GPU Server, saving data and terminating processes properly. When the server experiences issues such as freezing or a black screen, you can try rebooting it to resolve the problem. |
| OS Reinstallation | Available for GPU VPS. This section allows clients to reinstall the server’s operating system (OS) to restore it to a clean state, update to a different version, or fix system issues. A reinstallation will erase all data from the server, so please make sure you back up your data to your local machine before taking this action. |
Reinstall - Choose an OS and confirm the reinstallation. We support up to 3 OS reinstallations within 7 days. If you require additional reinstalls, please contact our team for assistance. |
|
| Events | Events | Available for GPU VPS and GPU Dedicated Server. The Events section records the operation logs related to this package, capturing all activities performed through the control panel. |
Input a keyword and click the search icon to search for operations. It helps users track actions such as configuration changes, restarts, upgrades, or other management operations. |

5. GPU Server Upgrades
As your business grows or resource demands increase, you can upgrade your GPU VPS or GPU Dedicated server hosting package directly via Control Panel → Overview → Scaling/Addon-Options: Log in to the control panel and upgrade.
1. Upgrade GPU VPS to GPU Dedicated Server A GPU VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a good starting point if you need GPU acceleration at a lower cost. You should consider upgrading from a GPU VPS to a GPU Dedicated Server when your workloads require higher and more consistent performance, larger datasets, multi-GPU capabilities, or a GPU model that is not available on VPS plans. While a GPU VPS shares resources and is suitable for development, small-scale training, and testing, a dedicated server provides exclusive access to the entire GPU, supports a wider range of GPU models, offers better storage and I/O performance, and allows full control over drivers and configurations, making it ideal for heavy AI/ML training, rendering, or other demanding applications. Explore GPU Dedicated Server Offerings.
To upgrade from a GPU VPS to a GPU Dedicated server, please contact sales for help.
2. Purchase Add-ons Individually If you only need to increase a specific resource (such as CPU, RAM, storage, or bandwidth), you can purchase add-ons individually to meet your requirements. Log in to the control panel and upgrade.
3. Horizontal Scaling You can also expand your resources by adding one or more physical servers, thereby increasing overall computing power and system capacity. Horizontal scaling not only supports higher concurrent processing and large-scale data storage but also enables load balancing and redundant backups, improving the stability and reliability of your business operations.
