Stallion Guide

This is a guide on how to use the Stallion Control Panel and the useful features that it provides.

Stallion is a control panel for managing your KVM Slices and storage slab that was completely created by Frantech. It is not based off any existing software (such as SolusVM or Virutalizor).

Stallion lets you manage your KVM Slices and storage slabs very easily.

Once your VPS has been provisioned you will need to access the Stallion.

Once you are there you will need to click “Password Reset” and type the email you used to register when registering on the billing site.

After you clicked the password reset button you should get a email asking for a password reset, if you didn't get it check your spam. Click the password reset link, type a new password and then you will be able to login with your email and password.

Once you have logged into Stallion click on your VPS which should be on the first page of the Stallion when you log in.

Click on the “Reinstall” tab

You will then be able to choose whatever operating system you would like to install from our templates.

Select the template, type in a password for the root (for linux) or Administrator (for windows server) user and in seconds your VPS will automatically be installed!

If you installed a Linux distro use a SSH client like Putty or MobaXterm and login with your IP address, SSH port (default port should be port 22), put the username as “root” and put the password you created on the Stallion.

If you installed Windows you need to use a RDP Client, Windows provides a RDP Client by default called “Remote Desktop Connection”. Login with the IP address and click “connect” you will then need to put the username as “Administrator” and the password you created on the Stallion.

After that your operating system will be ready to be used!

Go to the “Storage Volumes” section on the Stallion and attach it to your KVM Slice.

After that read this guide on how to setup your storage slab on both Linux and Windows.

1. Go to Stallion and select the server in question and click “Networking”
2. Activate the DDoS Protected IP and turn off the non protected IP if needed.
3. Click on the dropdown where it says “Main IP Address” and select your protected IP and click “Save Changes”. Setting this makes this IP be handed out over DHCP.
4. Reboot your VPS or restart its' networking.
5. Run curl ipinfo.io and see if your DDOS Protected IP shows up. If you're using Windows Server 2016 running curl ipinfo.io in Command Prompt should work. If you're using Windows 2012 you may need to open a internet browser and go to ipinfo.io and see if your DDOS Protected IP shows up.
