Getting Started with Windows
This guide shows how to connect to your Windows Server (2019, 2022 or 2025, available on Dedicated Servers) via Remote Desktop (RDP) for the first time. You log in as Administrator with the password you set in the PowerPanel.

Security Note: For security reasons, we do not store or save your Administrator password. Please ensure you keep it in a safe place, such as a password manager.
How to Connect
Log in to your PowerPanel and go to Hardware → Server Management. Click the Details button next to your server to find your Main IP.
On your local Windows PC, search for "Remote Desktop Connection". On macOS, download the "Windows App" (formerly Microsoft Remote Desktop) from the Mac App Store.
Enter the Server IP, click Connect, and then enter Administrator as the user along with your password. You may need to accept a certificate warning during the first connection.
Issues after installation?
If there are any problems directly after the new installation, please open a support ticket in your PowerPanel.
