First, head to <https://termius.com/download> (we consider them the best SSH client for newbies, even we use them!)

Once you have signed up for a free account and are at the homepage on the app, you'll want to click the "New Host" button.

Once on the new host page, the username for a Linux VPS will always be `root` and the SSH port should be left as default for 22, the VPS password should be given to you on purchase and you can reset it at the Settings -> Security tab on our VPS control panel once you click on your VPS. For the IP, you can head to the "Overview" tab and use the IPv4 address assigned to you (should be the first/top one), or the IPv6 address if you purchased a IPv6-only VPS. All VPS should have at a IPv6 address assigned for free of charge.

Once you are done with the steps above, you can go ahead and click connect and every time if you are logging into the VPS for the first time or rebooted it, you will need to click Add & Continue or just Continue to add the newly generated fingerprint to your known hosts.

You are now in, welcome to your new Linux VPS!
