To get our VPS we need to purchase it from a hosting provider.
In this guide, we are going to use Remardo - Decenomy's hosting service.
So let's open Remardo
We will need to create an account. Once we are done, we will have access to the control panel.
While in the client area, choose a VPS based on your preferred server location.
Note that 'DE' signifies a server based in Germany, while 'NL' signifies a server in the Netherlands.
On the next page, we need to choose a plan. So we go with the 'RDO VPS 1'
Next, we have to set a hostname and a password for our server. There is also an option to generate a new password.
We also need to choose our desired operation system from the drop-down menu. E.g. Ubuntu-22.04-x86_64
You may also want to include some Addons
Once done, click on "Continue"
Once we are done with the server configuration, we proceed to review our order and 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)
Now, we will log into our server via Putty using our IP address, username, and password. Learn how to use PuTTy
The connection to the VPS is now successful.
