Create a New Server

To create a server, we require at least a tariff, region, and server domain name. By default, we select the VPS Prime plan and the Falkenstein region for you. If you have a domain name, enter it in the Server Info section. If not, enable the "I don't have a domain yet" option, and we will generate one for you.

You can also configure additional settings for your server if needed.

Software

We can set up your new server and install one of several CMS options. Here is the list of frequently used CMS platforms, which can be installed automatically:

  1. CS-Cart
  2. Magento
  3. WordPress (with WooCommerce or without)

If you need to install some other CMS, don’t hesitate to contact us for manual installation.

Click the card of the CMS you want to install. After selecting, you can change the CMS settings by clicking the CMS title or the settings icon inside the card. You can configure admin panel credentials, modify the admin.php file (for CS-Cart), choose a CMS edition, or even install plugins. The available settings depend on the CMS you select.
