To find your SSH credentials:

1. Log into your Time4VPS Client Area
2. Navigate to "Services" or "VPS Management" section
3. Select your specific VPS
4. Go to "Access" or "SSH" settings
5. View or reset SSH credentials

Important Time4VPS SSH Access Notes:

• SSH access is standard for Time4VPS VPS
• Ensure SSH (port 22) is open in your firewall settings
• Use SSH keys for enhanced security
• Two-factor authentication recommended

Typical Time4VPS Server Formats:

• Server Instance: xx.xx.xx.xx (IP address)
• Hostname: Provided in your VPS details

You can use an SSH key instead of a password by taking the SSH key in your DeployHQ server configuration page and pasting it in your Time4VPS server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Connection Troubleshooting:

• Ensure you're using the correct username (typically root)
• Check network security settings
• Validate credentials in Time4VPS client area

Within Deployment options, you can choose to automatically deploy your server and specify a Deployment subdirectory if needed.
