1. Choose a configuration.
Compare CPU, RAM, NVMe capacity and transfer. Leave headroom for your operating system, logs and occasional load. Contact support if a particular kernel, operating system or application requirement is essential.
2. Select an available location.
The product page shows the configured options. Location is saved with your order. Confirm data-residency obligations and specialised network requirements before checkout.
3. Review billing and complete checkout.
Standard products cover one month of service with manual renewal; extended backup retention, if selected, is included in the displayed monthly total. Subscription products explicitly describe the recurring terms. Checkout confirms currency, taxes and the payment method. Use an email address you can access.
4. Wait for payment review and provisioning.
An order receipt is not a server-ready notification. We provide access through the agreed delivery process after reviewing the order and arranging the service. Follow the service and delivery policy for current details.
Your server is created and access details are delivered within 10–15 minutes after successful payment, subject to any applicable consumer cancellation-period start arrangements. Access instructions are sent to your order email address.
5. Establish a secure baseline.
Verify the server identity, update the OS, create named administrative access and configure your firewall. Test a second working connection before disabling the initial access method.
6. Deploy and test.
Install your application stack, configure TLS and test realistic user actions. Keep a backup outside the VPS and verify a restore. Monitor resource use as real traffic arrives.
7. Plan the next service period.
For manual renewal, contact support before the paid period ends and reference your existing order. A second purchase must be associated with the correct server; it is not automatically treated as an upgrade or renewal.
