Server management you can host yourselfOne place to manage every server you look after.
Vantage keeps track of who has access to which server, runs your scripts, checks your services are still up, stores your passwords and gives you a terminal in the browser. You install one small program on each server, and you can run the whole thing on your own hardware.

The problemNothing knows about anything else.
Access ends up in a spreadsheet. Scripts end up in somebody's home directory. Uptime checks live in a separate service, passwords get pasted into a chat thread, and nobody writes down who ran what. So when you need to know who can get into a particular box, or what was done to it last week, you go and work it out by hand.
ONE AGENTOne thing to install
Access, scripts, uptime checks and hardware stats all come down the same connection. You don't install a second thing to get the second feature.
ONE RECORDEverything is written down
Who was given access and who took it away, who ran which script, who opened a session. It all goes in the same log with a name against it.
CapabilitiesWhat it does.
AccessSSH keys
Choose which servers a key can reach, and take that access away again when someone leaves. Each server is kept matching what you set, without you logging in to change it.
- spots the same key added twice
- can create a key on the server itself
- keeps a record of access you removed
ScriptsWorkflows
Keep your shell and PowerShell scripts in one library instead of scattered across machines, then run them in order across a group of servers.
- watch the output as it happens
- stop, carry on or retry when a step fails
- pass values from one step to the next
UptimeMonitors
Check that a site, a port, a machine or a certificate is still answering. Checks can run from us, or from an agent inside your own network for things the internet can't see.
- a history of outages and uptime
- warnings before a certificate expires
- alerts by email, Slack, Discord or Telegram
PasswordsVault
Keep passwords, tokens and licence keys in one encrypted place. Your scripts are handed what they need as they run, and it never shows up in the logs afterwards.
- grouped by the thing they belong to
- encrypted with a key only you hold
- looking at one is recorded
AccessBrowser console
Open a terminal or a remote desktop from the browser. Nothing to install on the machine you're sitting at, and every session goes in the log.
- links that only work once
- passwords used once, then discarded
- works from a borrowed laptop
HealthHardware and updates
See processor, memory, disk and operating system for every server, along with the updates waiting to be installed and install them without logging in.
- refreshed every 30 seconds
- updates applied from the same screen
- agents keep themselves up to date
Getting startedGetting your first server in.
FIRSTSet up your account
You're the owner. Nobody outside your account can see anything in it.
THENAdd a server
Copy the install command we show you and paste it into the server. It works once, then expires.
THENGive yourself access
Paste your public key and tick the servers it should reach. It arrives within 30 seconds.
AFTERAdd the rest as you need it
Set up an uptime check, save a script, invite the people you work with.
# Linux
curl -fsSL https://vantage.hostxtra.co.uk/install | bash -s -- --server-id=$ID --token=$TOKEN
# Windows

Three servers, free, no card.
Set up an account, add one server, and see it working before you decide anything.
