Why are root/administrator passwords emailed?
The root/administrator password is sent via email because it is necessary to reach a virtual server.
Upon logging in for the first time with the root password we require that the password be changed. We strongly recommend updating to a strong password. Here are a few guidelines:
- Create a password that has eight or more characters. The longer the password the better.
- Use a string of random words.
- Add numbers and/or punctuation to your password.
- Mix upper and lowercase
- Use different passwords for different servers
Alternatively, you can use SSH keys to access the server. You can add SSH-keys to the control panel and then deploy new servers with the SSH key installed under the root user.
We also recommend updating the ssh config when using SSH keys to only allow SSH logins via root with the following config update: PermitRootLogin without-password
Why didn't I receive a root password via Email?
Please check your spam folder in case the email was mis-delivered. You can also reset your Droplet's root password by click on "Access" and then "Password Reset".
Alternatively, instead of using a password, you can set up SSH keys for your server which would eliminate the need for a password altogether.
How do I cancel my account?
You can cancel your account anytime through the control panel, under the settings tab. First, destroy any Cloud Server active on your account, resolve any outstanding billing and then click “Deactivate Account.”
If I have multiple credit cards on file, which one do you charge?

My credit card expired and the payment failed. How do I fix it to prevent my account from being suspended?
Our billing system will send you payment reminder mails in case payment doesn’t occur. If you follow reminder mails and do the necessary operations, your server doesn’t get suspended.
I have a credit, why can’t I create a Server?
In order to use the credit you’ll need to activate your account by adding a valid credit card to your account or prepay via PayPal.
