How do CCP and SCP panels differ?

CCP (Customer Control Panel) manages contracts, invoicing, domains, and account details. SCP (Server Control Panel) controls server reboots, ISOs, VNC, and snapshots.

Understanding the Server Control Panel (SCP)

The Netcup Server Control Panel (SCP) provides direct hardware-level virtualization management for Root Servers and VPS instances. While CCP manages billing and contracts, SCP operates the KVM hypervisor layer.

How to Mount Custom ISOs & Install Windows Server

1. Access Media & DVD Drives in SCP

Navigate to Media > DVD Drives inside your SCP instance dashboard. You can select pre-mounted official Linux distributions or upload custom ISOs via FTP.

2. Windows Server VirtIO Driver Configuration

Because vanilla Windows ISOs lack native KVM drivers for enterprise NVMe storage, follow this configuration:

Mount your Windows Server ISO to Drive 1.
Mount the official virtio-win.iso driver disk to Drive 2.
Adjust the Boot Order to CD-ROM first and restart.
Open the HTML5 VNC Console, click Load Driver on the partition screen, and select the viostor directory from Drive 2 to detect your NVMe drive.
