Last update:

A VDS server will be created with a local disk and a public IP address — to connect to the server via SSH or RDP.

  1. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select VDS servers.

  2. Click Create server.

  3. Fill in these blocks:

  4. Check the VDS server price. Read more in the instruction Payment model and VDS server prices.

  5. Click Create server.

Name and placement

  1. Enter a server name. It will be set as the hostname in the operating system.

  2. Select a region in which the server will be created. Once the server is created, the region cannot be changed.

Source

  1. Select a pre-built image with a pre-installed and configured operating system.

  2. Optional: if you need a lower OS version, select the required version in the Version field.

Configuration

Only fixed configurations are available for VDS servers. After the server is created, you will be able to change the configuration.

Select a configuration.

Access

  1. Add an SSH key for the project to the server for secure connection:

    1.1. Add a new key by clicking , enter the key name, paste the public key in OpenSSH format, and click Add.

    1.2. In the SSH-key field, select an existing key if the user has a key added. An SSH key is only available in the pool where it is hosted.

  2. Optional: in the Password for “root” field:

    2.1. Copy the password for the root user — the user with unrestricted privileges for all system actions.

    2.2. Save the password in a secure place and do not share it in plain text.
