Managing your VPS order
Key features and actions for your virtual server in the Fornex dashboard.
Server Management
This area contains the core actions for your order:
Main server actions
- Renew order — extend your subscription for any period. Select the duration and click “Pay”.
- Reinstall the OS — perform a full system reinstall. Choose from all supported operating systems and ready-made application templates.
Warning
Reinstalling wipes all data on the server permanently — no recovery possible. Back up everything first.
- Mounting ISO — attach ISO images (from the list or upload your own). Full guide on mounting ISOs here.
- Transfer — move the VPS to another Fornex account. Step-by-step instructions here.
- Delete — disable auto-renewal. Any unused balance remains on your account and isn’t charged automatically. To fully terminate and request a refund for remaining days, open a support ticket.
Resource Monitoring
Displays current CPU, RAM, disk, and traffic usage (updates every 15 minutes).
Click “Detailed chart” for in-depth statistics across all resources.

Firewall
Firewall lets you manage incoming traffic filtering rules.
It’s a security tool that allows or blocks connections based on IP, ports, and protocols.
Note
Enabling the firewall without adding allow rules will block all incoming traffic. Add rules for required ports (SSH 22, HTTP 80/443, etc.) first.

Console
Connect to your server via the built-in web console (VNC-like interface) — useful when SSH access is unavailable.
