After you have a server with Ubuntu 16.04 or 17*, either by renting from a host or by rolling your own server at home, you will need to SSH into your machine.

Obtain Your IP Address

Configure or set the IP Address (your host should give you this information)
Cannot remember? ip addr show

Virtual Machine Users

Use bridge mode and assign an IP via mac address or in the OS, assign a STATIC IP address!

Windows Users

Download Putty
In putty program, type in your main IP address and then set the port as 22

Mac / Linux Users

Use a built in program called Terminal
Go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app or search for terminal
Example type: ssh username@youripaddress-or-domain

Troubleshooting

Ensure that your IP Address is correct, including port number.
Firewall can be a choke point.
You should not have to configure anything out of the ordinary.
Your network setup can be the main problem
Make sure OpenSSH is installed on your Ubuntu server! sudo apt install openssh-server
