Start, stop and restart a FlashRDP server, open the browser console, read usage graphs and network details, and find the advanced Server Panel.
Every server you own has its own page in the Billing Portal. From there you control power, open a browser console, check usage and manage networking for your Windows RDP or Linux VPS.
Click Servers in the sidebar, then click the server. Each server is shown by its hostname, or by its plan and IP address. Use the search box or the status filters (All, Active, Suspended, Pending, Ended) to find it.
The Servers list
The top of the server page shows its live status (Running, Stopped, Installing and so on), IP address, location and plan. Get help opens a support ticket about this server.
Asks the operating system to shut down cleanly. Unsaved work is lost.
Top of the page
Restart
A clean reboot. Everyone connected is disconnected.
Top of the page
Force off
Cuts power at once, like pulling the plug. Only for a frozen server that ignores Stop.
Settings tab, Danger zone
Start runs at once. Stop, Restart and Force off ask you to confirm first. The status then shows the progress, for example “Starting… 40%”, and finally “Server started” or “Restart finished”.
Force off is like pulling the power cable: the operating system can’t save open files, and a disk that is being written to can be damaged. Try Stop or Restart first.
Stop, Restart and Force off ask you to confirm
A button you can’t use is greyed out. Hover over it to see why, for example “The server is already running” or “Wait for the current action to finish”. You can run up to 30 power actions per hour on each server.
Click Console to open the console in a new browser tab. It works like a monitor and keyboard plugged into the server, so you can sign in even when Remote Desktop or SSH is blocked by a firewall or a broken network setting.The server must be Running to open the console.
The browser console in its own tab
The toolbar has:
Ctrl+Alt+Del: reach the Windows sign-in screen
Paste: type text into the server where the cursor is. The text is sent as keystrokes with a US keyboard layout, up to 4,000 characters. Click where it should go first.
Full screen
Reconnect: if the connection drops
The console switches itself off shortly after you close the tab. You can open it up to 30 times per hour.
The Overview tab shows current CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth used this billing period. A stopped server shows “Usage not reported”.
The Graphs tab has three ranges:
Live: updates every 5 seconds while the tab is open
24 hours and 7 days: averages, with Avg and Peak for CPU and memory, and Peak in and Peak out for network
Below the charts, Disks shows the space used on each volume and Traffic shows the data sent and received in the current traffic period, with the days left in it.
The Graphs tab in Live mode
History starts once you open a server’s page and is kept for 7 days. If a server’s page hasn’t been opened for 30 days, its history pauses until you open it again.
To open it, sign in at billing.flashrdp.com with your usual email and password, click Manage on your server, then click Control Panel. The Server Panel opens in a new tab, so allow pop-ups for billing.flashrdp.com if your browser blocks it.
