First Steps

If you’ve just received your welcome email and aren’t sure how to get started with Cito, this guide will help. Below we explain the basics of logging in, adding keys, and creating a site.

​

Log in

To log in, visit https://cito.prostack.uk. You will be asked for your email address, and we’ll send a magic link to verify your email. Once your email address has been verified you’ll be prompted to set up either a Passkey or two-factor authentication (TOTP). Once logged in, you’ll see the Cito homepage. This will give you an overview of the server resources, allow you to view recent sites, and show you backup restore points.

​

Add your SSH key

We use keys, rather than passwords, for SSH and SFTP access. You can add your public key to the ‘Managed Keys’ page in the dashboard, and from there, assign it to individual sites.

• If you dont have a key pair yet, you can generate one.
• If you have a public key, add it via Managed Keys.
