If you haven't generated your public/private SSH key set yet, see these articles:

You can now select and de-select your SSH key for every server you create and those keys will be automatically installed and authorized for any operating system template we have available. Go ahead and click the big red install button and in 30 seconds or less, start enjoying your new VPS!
