You will need to first grant ssh access for yourself via the control panel.
1. Login to ServerCP using your root login.
2. Click on 'SSH' in the left menu.
3. Choose your account and enable shell for it.
4. Put in your local IP address into the text field and click the "Add IP". This will allow you to login locally.
Now that you have that setup, open up your favorite ssh client (putty is a good one) and put in the server's IP address.
1. For user put the username you enabled ssh for. Then that user's password. You should now have logged in as that user.
2. To login as root type the 'su' command (without any quotes).
3. At password prompt, put in the root password and you're ready to go!
The above is assuming you're using an RH-based distro.
I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
AYK provide a very good value product, and always in a professional manner. I have used several hosting companies over the past 17 years. During that time I occasionally needed help with a variety of minor setup issues. Only AYK gave quick and helpful answers. I highly recommend them.
Outstanding Customer Service Everytime I have emailed AYKsolutions I have gotten an outstanding response time from the technical support team. Not only that, they are very friendly and very easy to work with. When I initially setup my account I had a small problem and had to delete everything and start over. This was not a problem for AYK and they were able to get me up and running in no time at all
