For example, you may want to connect with SSH keys, view your server\u2019s hostname, or stop\/restart the server. Once connected via SSH you have full control as the root user to modify your server as needed. This guide will show you how to manage your server with Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">How to Manage Your Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in administering your server is accessing the <strong>Manage Server<\/strong> menu of Central.
