VPS & SSH

VPS onboarding

Prepare SSH access, runtime needs, firewall expectations, and support boundaries before ordering VPS.

What this covers

VPS is the developer-focused path for custom applications, APIs, staging, and workloads that need SSH control. It is more powerful than managed hosting, but it also requires clearer responsibility for runtime, security, and maintenance.

Before you start

Prepare your operating system preference if known, expected CPU/RAM/disk needs, SSH public key, allowed admin users, app/runtime notes, domain needs, and rollback expectations. Never paste private keys into support chat.

How to do it

  1. Confirm VPS is the right product instead of managed hosting or WordPress.
  2. Document CPU, RAM, disk, runtime, and traffic expectations.
  3. Prepare SSH public keys and admin user naming.
  4. Review firewall, backups, monitoring, and update responsibilities.
  5. Ask support to confirm what is managed and what remains your responsibility.

What our team checks

Support reviews resource sizing, access model, public key handling, firewall/security expectations, domain/SSL needs, and whether any app deployment review is required.

Next step

Open VPS catalog options, then contact support if you need sizing or migration review.
