added and removed on a regular basis).

3. Storage


Vm's storage is very customizable - you can increase the OS disk and/or have additional disks.



4. Access


By default we do NOT set the root password and recommend that all Linux guests are accessed via 

ssh.


4.1 SSH Keys:


For Linux servers you'll be provided an option to select an existing or create a new ssh keys,


if you didn't :-), this can be done on an already running server. > Click Me For SSH how to's



4.2 Console 


Both - desktop & command line servers can be accessed via console on server's dashboard after 

provisioning. 


5. Virtual Private Network


Is useful if you intend to create a network of servers that need to communicate privately.

You can join a private network that was previously created or create a new one, you may also 

skip this step by anticking 'Enabled' option - in this case server will NOT have private IP.



There are costs associated to the creation and management of a VPC, for more info > Click Me


6. Public Network/Firewall


Having this enabled will assign a public IP to your server which means it will be accessible via

internet. Use firewall rules to provide limited access to services/data - these can be

added/removed to a running server afterwards.



7. Billing


This will be auto populated if you've selected or created a network at step #5.


Select the Account/credit-card that will be billed for the server.

If you don't have one yet it can be created from here, > Click Me For More On This.


8. Confirmation


Last step - formalities, tick agree with our > Terms Of Use (if you agree) and 'Create'.

Give it a few minutes, once server state changes to 'running' it's fully setup and ready to use.
