To get our VPS we need to purchase it from a hosting provider.
In this guide, we are going to use .
So let's open
We will need to create an account and use either our credit card or PayPal as a method of payment. Once we are done, we will have access to the control panel.
Now let's choose the "VPS" option under the 'New Order' section.
On the next page, we select the 'CLOUD VPS S' option
Next, we need to configure our VPS by choosing the server location, preferably one nearest to our location. In this case, we choose 'European Union (Germany)'.
We also need to choose the 'Storage Type' i.e. 200 GB SSD
Whiles on the configuration page, we specify our Image: 1. Ubuntu 2. Select Ubuntu 22.04 from the drop-down menu
Next, we have to set a password for our server. There is also an option to generate a new password.
Once we are done with the server configuration, we proceed to complete the payment.
We will receive a confirmation email when our order is successful. In the email, we will find details of our VPS (e.g. IP address and user name)
The connection to the VPS is now successful.
Now, we will log into our server via Putty using our IP address, username, and password.
