Server Management

Management Tab

From the Management tab, you can control every operational aspect of your Dedicated Server. Each action performed in the NoC triggers an authorised API request to the connected API server. These requests are processed in real time, and the results are reflected instantly on the page without needing to refresh.

Using the following features will cause your server to reboot. If your server is in production, ensure an appropriate maintenance window has been agreed upon before proceeding.

Reboot

Using the Reboot function sends a hard reboot request to the API server, which then forces an immediate restart of the machine. This action is the equivalent of pressing the physical power button on a PC.

Rescue

Using Rescue Mode temporarily adjusts the BIOS settings on your server so it boots from a lightweight network image pre‑installed with Debian. Once the system loads into the rescue environment, you can access the console, list the drives attached to your server, and mount them for inspection or repair.

Reset Root Password

Using the Reset Root Password function attempts to reset the server’s root password. You will be prompted to enter a new password, which will then be applied to the system. During this process, the server may reboot and may temporarily enter Rescue Mode.

Reveal Last Root Password

If you have installed an operating system through The NoC or used the root password reset feature, we store a copy of the last known working root password within your client area. The password is encrypted at rest and decrypted only when you use the Reveal Last Root Password function. This process is fully automated and monitored.
