▪️Setting Up a Virtual Private Server (VPS)

This post will guide you through the process of setting up a VPS on Contabo.

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.

Step 1 - Account Registration

• So let's open Remardo

• We will need to create an account. Once we are done, we will have access to the control panel.

Step 2 - Ordering Process

• 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'

Step 3 - VPS configuration

• 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"

Step 4 - Payment

• Once we are done with the server configuration, we proceed to review our order and complete the payment.

Step 5 - Connecting to the VPS

• 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.
