Find your way around the dashboard

The Overview page

Overview is the first page after you sign in. Once you have a site, it shows the state of your sites and servers at a glance.

• A summary row with Sites, Servers, Recent deploys and Need attention. When something needs attention, such as a failed deployment or a server that is offline, the last box links straight to it.
• Your sites, a short list of your sites. View all opens the full list.
• Resource usage, the average CPU, memory and disk use of your servers from their latest readings.
• Server costs, what your servers have cost at your providers this month. By server shows the breakdown.
• Your servers, a card for each server with its current load.
• Recent deployments, the latest deploys with their status.

The Get started guide

While your account has no site yet, the Overview page shows the Get started guide instead: connect a cloud provider, create a server and deploy a site. Each step checks itself off from your real data.

Click Skip to move past a step you want to do later, and Undo to bring it back. Hide guide shows the regular Overview instead. To get the guide back before your first site exists, click Setup guide at the top of the page.

The full walk-through is in Put your first site online.

The sidebar

The sidebar on the left holds the places you use most: Overview, Sites, Servers and 1-Click apps.

Below them are three groups. Each one opens a page with tabs along the top for its sections:

At the bottom of the sidebar are Find anything, Help, and two buttons to switch between the light and dark theme. On a phone, open the sidebar with the menu button at the top left.

The Create menu

Click Create at the top of the Overview page to start something new:

• Site: deploy a website or application.
• 1-Click app: install Ghost, n8n, Nextcloud and more.
• Move an existing site: copy a site from your old host.
• Server: provision or connect infrastructure.
• Database: create a PostgreSQL or MariaDB database.

When you reach your plan’s limit for sites or servers, the option shows how many you use and links to your plan instead.

Find anything

Press ⌘ K on a Mac or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux, or click Search anything… at the top of the page. Type part of a page or setting name, for example “API tokens” or “firewall”.

Use the arrow keys to choose a result and Enter to open it. Esc closes the search.

Search finds pages and settings, not individual sites or servers. To find one of those, open Sites or Servers.

Notifications

The bell at the top right shows how many unread notifications you have. Click it to see the latest ones. Click a notification to open what it is about, or the cross to remove it.

Mark all as read clears the counter. See all notifications opens the full list. To choose where notifications are sent, see Notifications.

Your profile menu

Click your photo or initial at the top right. The menu shows your name, your role in the current workspace and your email. From here you can open My profile, Notifications and Events, or Sign out.

See Update your profile and preferences for what you can change.

Switch workspace

Everything you see belongs to one workspace. Your own account is one; each team you joined is another. The current workspace and your role in it are shown at the top of the sidebar.

Click it to open Switch workspace and pick another. The dashboard reloads with that workspace’s sites, servers and settings.

What you can do in a team workspace depends on your role. See Roles and permissions.
