Account Setup¶
This guide covers creating your InteSys account, accessing the client portal, and completing your initial configuration.
Creating Your Account¶
- Navigate to dash.intesys.io
- Click Create Account
- Fill in your details:
- Full name or company name
- Email address (this becomes your primary login)
- Phone number
- Country and billing address
- Verify your email by clicking the confirmation link
- Set a strong password (minimum 12 characters recommended)
Use a Valid Email
Your account email is used for all billing notifications, service alerts, and support communication. Make sure it is an address you actively monitor.
Client Portal Overview¶
After logging in, the portal dashboard gives you access to:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Services | View and manage active products (VPS, email, IaaS) |
| Billing | Invoices, payment methods, and account balance |
| Support | Open and track support tickets |
| DNS Management | Manage DNS zones for your domains |
| API Keys | Generate keys for the Transactional Email API |
Initial Configuration¶
Enable Two-Factor Authentication¶
We strongly recommend enabling 2FA immediately after account creation.
- Go to Account Settings > Security
- Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
- Enter the verification code to confirm
Recovery Codes
Save your recovery codes in a secure location. These are the only way to regain access if you lose your 2FA device.
Set Up SSH Keys¶
For VPS and IaaS products, upload your SSH public key to streamline server access.
- Go to Account Settings > SSH Keys
- Click Add SSH Key
- Paste your public key (typically found at
~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub) - Give it a descriptive label
# Generate a new SSH key pair if you don't have one
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
Configure Notification Preferences¶
Under Account Settings > Notifications, configure alerts for:
- Service provisioning and changes
- Billing and invoice reminders
- Scheduled maintenance windows
- Security alerts
Next Steps¶
With your account configured, you are ready to provision your first service:
