How to Use the Browser SSH Console

The 8Bit Server Portal includes a built-in browser SSH terminal. You can run commands on your VPS without installing any software.

Opening the console

  1. Log in to the Server Portal
  2. Click Manage on your server
  3. Open the Console tab in the left sidebar
  4. Click Connect — the terminal connects as root automatically

Using the terminal

The console works like any standard Linux terminal. You can install packages, edit files, restart services, and run scripts. The session stays open as long as the browser tab is active.

  • Right-click to paste (Ctrl+V may not work in some browsers)
  • Use Ctrl+C to cancel a running command
  • Disconnecting the console has no effect on your server — it keeps running

Prefer a dedicated SSH client?

For longer sessions or file transfers we recommend a dedicated SSH client. See How to Connect via SSH.
