VPS first login & SSH basics (HostStack)

Initial SSH access expectations for HostStack KVM VPS plans and safe first-session habits.

HostStack KVM VPS plans expect SSH administration — swap passwords for SSH keys where possible and disable password auth once keys proven.

First login checklist: update packages deliberately (know rollback paths), configure firewall defaults tighter than “allow world”, and create sudo-capable deploy users separate from root.

If credentials leak, revoke keys immediately — VPS compromises escalate faster than shared hosting incidents.
