Order new server¶
Scalesta's server panel manager allows you to order new servers. It is also possible to migrate your sites to our newly created servers. To do this, click the "Order" button on the project list page or project details page.
You will see a form where you can choose the option you need: create a new server or migrate your sites. This article focuses on server creation. Read more about the migration process here.
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:
- CS-Cart
- Magento
- 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.
You can also adjust the database type and version by clicking the database name or settings icon inside the CMS card. The following database types are available:
- MySQL (version 8.0)
- MariaDB (version 10.6)
Additionally, you can modify the web server and PHP version by clicking the web server name, PHP version, or the settings icon in the CMS card. Two backend types are available:
- Nginx with php-fpm
- Nginx with Apache httpd module
Available PHP versions depend on your server type. Selected settings are displayed on the right side of the page under the Total section.
Tariffs¶
In this section, you can select a tariff and region that suit your needs.
Additional Service¶
We also provide an additional service: outbound mail service for handling notifications from your website. This service requires a domain name which will be used for mail sending.
Service Information¶
As mentioned earlier, you can assign a domain to your server or generate a new one by enabling the "I don't have a domain yet" option.
If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments section. We will contact you as soon as possible to assist.
Payment¶
After creating a new server, you will be redirected to the cart page on my.scalesta.com, where you can choose a convenient payment method.
Until the payment is made, the server will appear in the Ordered state on your project page inside the Server panel manager, and you will not be able to access its management panel.
After successful payment, the server state will be updated to Creating within two minutes. Once creation is complete, the server state will be updated to Paid, and you will be able to open and modify your server settings.
