Welcome to vpsFree.cz. This guide explains how to log in to vpsAdmin for the first time, check your membership and connect to your VPS.

Log in at vpsadmin.vpsfree.cz with the username and temporary password from your welcome email. Both are case-sensitive. You have to change the password when you first log in.

If you cannot find the email, check your spam folder. If you received only a payment reminder without login credentials, contact support and include your registration number.

Open Members in the top vpsAdmin menu.

The overview shows your member ID and when your paid membership expires:

You do not have to pay the membership fee immediately. You can try the VPS for one week before deciding whether to continue using it.

See Membership fees and payments for the current amount, bank accounts, payment reference and payment verification. Use your member ID as the payment reference, not the VPS ID. If you need more time to pay, let us know before your membership expires.
