If you’ve chosen Windows 10 or 11 as your operating system in the OS Template section, when setting up your AvaHost VPS, it is important to know the correct steps to connect to the server with these versions. This guide will explain step-by-step how to easily access and manage your VPS. Windows 10 and 11 have built-in tools for remote server management, but following the correct procedures will help avoid potential issues.

Once your VPS is successfully installed, AvaHost will send you an email with the necessary credentials, including the server IP address, username, and password. These details will be sent to your registered email address with AvaHost, so make sure you receive the email before continuing.

You will need to use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to the server. Windows 10 and 11 come with an RDP client already installed, making the connection process easy.
