Test connecting to the VPS

1. Using SSH, we need to connect to the VPS:
   
   ssh [email protected]
   
   Substituting 1.2.3.4 for your Public IP address. When prompted from the password this will be your root password shown in the VPS Status page.

   Info
   Ubuntu 14.04 does not permit root login via SSH, so you have to use the user 'ubuntu' and the root password. Most other OS will accept root as the login user.

2. Now that you are connect to the server, we'll update everything and activate the webserver. We'll start by updating the packages on the server, enter:
   
   sudo apt-get update
   
   and once that has completing updating the package list, we'll do the actual upgrades:
   
   sudo apt-get -y upgrade
   
   This will take a moment to download and install anything thats new since the template was made.
   
   
3. We need to install Apache2 (web server) so we can test that port 80 is properly forwarded to the VPS:
   
   sudo apt-get -y install apache2
   
   Once its completed, then head to your web browser and enter http://1.2.3.4/ Substituting 1.2.3.4 for your Public IP address. You should see the default Apache/Ubuntu page:
