Getting Started with VPS

This article explains how to set up and launch your VPS.

Setting up a VPS for the first time may seem complicated, but the basic configuration only takes a few steps. After activating the server, access the control panel and follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your control panel (use the link in the email you received when activating the service or server).

    We recommend using the ispmanager control panel, but you can choose another panel (HestiaCP, DirectAdmin, aaPanel, FastPanel and cPanel). You can learn more about available control panels in our article "Server Control Panels: Comparison".

  2. Create a new user in the control panel (under the Users menu item).

  3. Grant the user the necessary permissions (including PHP, CGI, SSL, SSH, and SSI). This user can access FTP and SSH (if the appropriate permissions have been granted). Websites will run under this username.
  4. Create a www domain. If necessary, specify the PHP script processing method there (the user must have PHP permissions granted in the previous step) → click Finish.

  5. Using the user's credentials, upload the website files to the appropriate server directory.
  6. If the domain name is linked to this server, the website should already be running.
If you have any questions, you can ask them in the online chat in the lower-right corner of the site or create a request to the support service through the ticket system.
