# A Tour of Your Server's Page

> What every tab and button on your VPS's page in the FREAKHOSTING VPS Panel does, from power controls to backups and sharing.

Every VPS has its own page in the VPS Panel. To open it, go to [**Servers**](https://cloud.freakhosting.com/servers) and click **Manage** next to the server. This page explains what you'll find there and links to a guide for each part.

> [!TIP]
>
> Brand-new server? It opens on the **Server Setup** screen instead, until you install an operating system. See [How to Set Up Your New VPS](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/how-to-set-up-your-new-vps.md).

## The Overview tab

Under the server's name are three icons:

| Icon | Name | What it does |
| :- | :- | :- |
| Circular arrow | **Restart** | Restarts the server after you confirm. |
| Padlock | **Protect** | Turns rebuild protection on or off. See [How to Protect Your Server](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/how-to-protect-your-server-from-accidental-rebuilds.md). |
| Gear | **Settings** | Change the server's name and hostname. See [How to Rename Your VPS](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/how-to-rename-your-vps-and-set-a-hostname.md). |

### Power buttons

**Boot**, **Shutdown**, **Restart**, **Power Off** and the red **Rebuild** button. Buttons that don't apply right now are greyed out, for example **Boot** while the server is already running. See [How to Start, Stop and Restart Your VPS](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/how-to-start-stop-restart-and-power-off-your-vps.md) and [How to Reinstall Your VPS](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/how-to-rebuild-and-reinstall-your-vps.md).

### Information cards

> [!NOTE]
>
> Memory, CPU and operating system details come from a small helper inside your server called the **QEMU guest agent**. It's included in our operating system images. If you remove it, these cards may stay empty.

### Statistics and the task log

Click the arrow next to **Statistics** to open live graphs for network traffic, CPU, disk and memory. See [How to Monitor Your VPS's Resource Usage](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/how-to-monitor-vps-resource-usage.md).

At the bottom of every tab, the task log lists recent actions on the server. See [Understanding the Task Log](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/vps-panel/understanding-the-vps-task-log.md).
