Here we have a basic intro on how to get your services with us up and running. We really recommend you look through as much of our knowledge base as possible to get a full sense of everything included with your account.

  • STEP 1 - Find a domain you want to use for your site and register it.

  • STEP 2 - If you're switching from an existing host you should leave that hosting active until your domain is propagated and data migrated to our network in these later steps below.

  • STEP 3 - Sign up using our instant sign up order form.

  • STEP 4 - Use your login data we send you from step 1 to login and configure your VPS via SSH
    ( Download SSH Client Here )

  • STEP 5 – Before you upload your site to the VPS you should create your dns (domain name servers) ( Tutorial )

  • STEP 6 - It will take 12-48 hours for dns updates to propagate throughout the world. *Note if you are using cPanel as a control panel you may view your sites via IP at http://X.X.X.X/~username.

  • STEP 7 - Once your domain has propagated to our network you can begin uploading your files.

  • STEP 8 - Contact us if you have any questions or need suggestions.

  • STEP 9 – Cancel account with old hosting provider if applicable

How does the VPS work?How VPS Works

  • Xen is loaded onto a physical machine and VsControl manages Xen. When we create a new VPS, VsControl delegates a portion of the physical machines hardware to that specific account and it functions completely independently of all other accounts on the server.
