Once a server is provisioned the following email will be sent to you with setup and access details for your server. For your reference a fictional one is included here
John Doe;
Your new server is now setup. You can find details of this server and any other in our customer portal:
http://devel.blackrockhosting.
ORDER DETAILS
Main IP: 0.0.0.0
Username: Johndoe
Password: hqW7Ko6AG40BU3JmHlQTWQ
ROOT ACCESS:
Black Rock Hosting servers do not use the root account. It is considered a large security risk.
Log in with your account username and password that is listed above.
Please use "sudo su -" or "sudo <command> to perform root level actions.
It is unnecessary to change the root password as it is secure and never seen by a person.
Additional users can be added to sudo using "visuso" and adding a user to the bottom of the file.
*We recommend changing your password immediately and regularly.
Please read the following document for more detailed information about your server and Black Rock Hosting specific details. We find that most support requests are covered in this document.
DRIVES:
The root (/) partition is an ephemeral drive and is smaller than you may expect. Data on it can be lost more easily than the /data drive(s). This set-up can be significantly faster than the traditional setup but you may need to use symlinks to /data for your applications, data or logs that use /. Please contact support if you would like to have a different drive setup. However we highly recommend never keeping critical data on /. Alternative setups are considered a custom product and will have a price difference.
FIREWALL:
Please allow IP 52.24.126.10 ssh access through your firewall in order for the customer portal controls to function.
For your safety and data integrity, we encourage the use of our network (port only) firewall in addition to local firewall protections.
During your set-up, port 22(SSH) and port 80(web) are open.
