Authorization¶

For user authorization in the personal account, you need to go to the address https://invapi.hostkey.com and enter your login and password from your HOSTKEY account.

Two-factor authentication¶

If the use of two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled in your account settings, you will be prompted to enter the authentication code, which will be sent via SMS to the mobile phone number you provided during registration.

If the code is not received within 5 minutes, the user can:

• request it to be sent again via another operator by pressing the Send SMS via another operator Send SMS via another provider button;
• by pressing the Voice call with 2FA code button and selecting the dictation language from the drop-down menu to the right to request an incoming voice call. When the call is received, the user will hear the repeated dictation of the authentication code.

The user logs in his personal account after successful authorization, where the following are available:

• The management of the service;
• Ordering servers;
• Balance top-up;
• Review the log of actions during the session.

Asynchronous actions¶

Some server`s operations can take a long time. Our service allows you to perform asynchronous operations in such situations—the user sends a request for action and can proceed with other operations in the personal account. Upon completion of the initiated action, the system will send a notification.

The management of the service¶

A list of servers is shown on the panel with the ability to filter by location (NL - Netherlands, US - United States, FI - Finland, DE - Germany, IS - Iceland, TR - Turkey, UK - United Kingdom, ES - Spain, IT - Italy) and status (Overdue - servers with overdue on payments). The search box provides the ability to select a server by entering its number, assigned tag or IP address:

The control panel for a specific server is activated by clicking on a server’s card from the list.

Ordering instant servers¶

These servers are already installed in racks and ready for use within minutes after purchase. The entire process is fully automated with complete remote control via panel and API - power management, reinstall, custom OS installation, ISO images, console access, etc.
