Thank you very much for your support, Krydos! This solved the problem and SSH access works again. Florian

It seems I accidently locked myself out from SSH access to the VPS: I have enabled the Ubuntu firewall (ufw) on the VPS but have not added SSL before that (sudo ufw allow 'OpenSSH'). Now it seems only port 80 for web traffic is open but not port 22 for SSH ... beginner mistake. duh !!! Could an administrator please log into my VPS and disable the firewall (sudo ufw disable)? Edit: Alternatively, it would also be OK to redeploy the VPS. Thank you.

Dear Krydos, Thank you very much for your quick reply, it solved the problem: I installed the Apache webserver via command line and indeed the HTML files are stored in /var/www/html/. (this is the installation tutorial I followed, if anybody is in the same situation: How To Install the Apache Web Server on Ubuntu 22.04 | DigitalOcean) Cheers! Florian

Dear all, this might be a stupid question: I try to access my HelioHost server via HTTP (web browser) and the static IP: http://64.71.xxx.xxx/index.html In which directory on the VPS server do I need to put the index.html file? On the root level I see bin, dev, home, srv, etc. Update: I searched the forums and it seems there should be a folder "~/public_html". However that folder does not exist in my home dir. Any ideas? Thanks! Oliver
