Order a dedicated server of prebuilt configuration
1. Select a server configuration
-
In the Control panel, on the top menu click Products and select Dedicated servers.
-
Select a project.
-
If there are already servers in your project, in the Servers section, click Order server. If there are no servers in the project, the order page will open automatically.
-
Optional: configure filter settings to find a server with the required configuration. If no suitable servers are available, change the filter settings or order a dedicated server of custom configuration.
-
Select a server with the required configuration — click the server card to proceed to placing your order.
2. Place an order
-
On the Order placement tab, verify the dedicated server configuration.
-
Check the region and pool where your server will be hosted. Change the region and pool if necessary. You cannot change the region or pool after the order is placed.
-
Select an operating system for automatic installation on the server. To select:
-
a standard OS image — open the OS tab. If you need a server without an OS, on the OS tab, select No OS - boot — after the server is provisioned, you can install an OS manually or by automatic installation.
When selecting the Astra Linux OS, the server will be provisioned with No OS - boot. After paying for the server, you must order the Astra Linux OS installation service for the server.
-
OS image with applications — open the Applications **** tab.
-
-
Optional: select a system disk on which the OS will be installed. If you selected a Linux-based OS in step 3, you can partition disks and configure software RAID.
-
Optional: for secure connection to the server via the encrypted SSH protocol, select a previously uploaded and placed SSH key or add a new one. Learn more in the Create and upload an SSH key to a dedicated server instruction.
-
Optional: if you have a Linux-based OS, the User data field will be available. To automate server setup, specify configuration parameters in cloud-config or bash script format. Learn more in the User data examples section.
-
Select a traffic consumption model.
-
Select a pricing plan.
-
Specify the required number of servers. If the required number is not available, click Notify about availability and create a ticket.
-
Optional: configure IP addresses. If you selected an OS for automatic installation in step 3, the network interface on the server will be configured automatically with the set IP addresses.
10.1. Configure a public network, to do this select a VLAN:
-
shared — the server will be assigned a public IP address from the shared VLAN. It will not be possible to change the IP address or add additional IP addresses to the server;
-
dedicated — if you have already ordered a dedicated subnet, you can select the subnet and assign an IP address to the server.
10.2. Configure a private network. An IP address from a private subnet can be assigned to the local port of a prebuilt server with a single 1 Gbit/s network card, if a private VLAN is already allocated in the pool and a Linux-based OS is selected for automatic installation.
To assign a private IP address, select Assign IP address from a private subnet:
-
if you have not added a private subnet to the Control panel yet, click Create private subnet, enter the CIDR from the standard range, click Create, and enter an IP address;
-
if you have already added a private subnet to the Control panel, select the subnet and enter an IP address.
-
-
Optional: on the Additional services tab, see the list of additional services. Additional services can be ordered after the server is provisioned.
-
Confirm that you agree to the payment terms.
-
Click Pay now.
-
Review the order information and click Pay. When the server is ready for delivery, you will receive an email notification and will be able to connect. The paid period begins from the moment the server is delivered. The server password will be available for viewing for 24 hours from the moment the server is delivered. If you forgot your password, you can reset and recover it. After ordering, you can only perform an upgrade of components — disks, memory, GPU.
