Instances in the sidebar lists every server on the account. Opening one gets
you its own page at /client/services/<id>/, and every control below lives
there.
Tabs
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Overview | Status, credentials, specs. Power and console sit on the same line as the server name |
| Usage Graphs | Live CPU, memory and disk use; historical CPU, memory, network and disk I/O charts |
| Settings | Label, hostname and client notes |
| Network | Public and private interfaces, IP and MAC addresses, and VNet attachments |
Power, console, firewall, resize, reinstall, and destroy sit next to the server name as labelled header actions, so they stay one click away on every tab.
What you can do

If it says failed
A failed deployment can be retried from the server's page with Recreate. Nothing was billed for a server that never came up. If a retry fails too, open a ticket with the instance id.
Root password
The generated root password is readable on this page by the account owner, and is stored encrypted. The provisioning email is the only time it is sent to you. Anyone signed in as the owner can read it here, which is one more reason to put your own SSH key on the server and stop relying on it.
