# VPS Servers

> Purchase, provision, and manage cloud VPS instances and assign them to your customers.

## Overview

VPS (Virtual Private Server) management lets partners purchase, provision, and manage cloud VPS instances, then assign them to their customers. It's a self-serve infrastructure layer within the Partner Portal.

## Instance states

VPS instances move through these states:

| State           | Description                         |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Pending payment | Order placed, awaiting payment      |

| Active          | Live and operational                |
| Suspended       | Paused due to non-payment or issues |
| Cancelled       | Terminated                          |

## Assign to customer

Each instance can be assigned to a customer:

1. Open the **Assign to Customer** dropdown on the instance card
2. Select the customer (or "Not assigned")
3. Confirm

Unassigned instances show "Not assigned to a customer."

## View instance details

Click on an instance card to see:

* Plan specs
* Region
* Partner price
* Creation date
* Status badge

## Credentials

For active instances, you can request root credentials:

1. Click **Request Credentials**
2. Credentials are sent to your email and displayed on screen
3. Password is shown in a monospace box

### Regenerate SSH keys

To regenerate SSH keys for an instance:

1. Click **Regenerate SSH Keys**
2. Confirms the action
3. New keys are generated

### Fix credentials

If credentials aren't working, use the **Fix Credentials** modal:

## Reinstall with App

You can reinstall the OS with one-click apps:

### Single App mode

Select one app to install. Options include:

* Clean Ubuntu OS
* Docker + Portainer
* Domain controllers

### Package Builder mode

Select multiple apps to install together as a package:
