Note: By default, no code is required. The Verification code will be required if you have activated 2-Factor Authentication. We highly recommend enabling 2FA to improve the user security.
Dashboard
Once logged in, you will see the Dashboard. The Dashboard shows a concise overview of your data centers, resource allocation, and options for help and support. You can click on the IONOS logo in the Menu bar at any time to return to the Dashboard.
Inside the Dashboard, you can see the My Virtual Data Centers list and the Resource Allocation window. The Resource Allocation window shows the current usage of resources across your infrastructure.
Selecting a data center in the My Data Centers list opens the data center. However, if this is your first time using DCD, you need to create your first Virtual Data Center (VDC). For more information on creating the VDC, see Configure a Data Center.
Menu bar
The Menu bar at the top of the DCD screen allows you to access the DCD features, view notifications, visit the help section, and manage your user account.
