Step-by-step guidance

  1. Choose a VPS plan (CPU, RAM, disk) and operating system on the VPS page (https://cmcloudhosting.com/vps).
  2. Add it to checkout and pay with Mobile Money (MTN/Orange), card, PayPal, or bank transfer.
  3. Your server is provisioned automatically and you receive SSH access details.
  4. Resize CPU/RAM/disk, reboot, and manage power from the portal. You only pay the difference when you upgrade.
