Manage Button Client Area

Open Control Panel

Step 4

Welcome to the building stage of your VPS where you compile the core building blocks of your server:

Server Name - Give your server a name to easily identify it in your account, we recommend your typical username or the name of the project you're currently working on. Don't worry, it can be changed later!

Hostname (OPTIONAL) - Enter a Hostname, this is optional, we recommend you skip it! For easier identification of your VPS on a network, not just on your account (it can be the same as your server name). - Select your Timezone, this is the time that is displayed on your server. Not to worry, these can also be changed later!

Hostname and Timezone Selection

Operating System - Select your desired operating system to be installed with your VPS from the following options:

Operating System List

Windows - We strongly suggest choosing this option, it provides a user-friendly and seamless connection process to your VPS through Windows' Remote Desktop. It also delivers the most optimal experience when locally hosting your FiveM city.

Debian

This option is recommended for experienced users who are familiar with Linux, and those endeavoring to host websites. It is tried and true and a more stable and flexible Linux option, it is lightweight making it run better than Ubuntu on older hardware, however, the software is older and less user-friendly compared to Ubuntu. *Do not add a Secure Shell (SSH) key if you are unsure of how to use it. See Creating SSH Key for VPS Install for how to create SSH key.*

Ubuntu

This option is recommended for experienced users who are familiar with Linux and sudo commands, and those endeavoring to host websites. If you're not confident in using Linux, we advise against selecting this option. *Do not add a Secure Shell (SSH) key if you are unsure of how to use it. See Creating SSH Key for VPS Install for how to create SSH key.*

Self-Install

This option enables you to install your own International Organization of Standardization (ISO) file via Virtual Network Computing (VNC). This is not recommended if you are not confident in this topic!

Advance Options - If you are not an experienced user, please do not modify any settings within this section.

Experienced Users: if you need any other ISO, we have templates available. Please contact us via Discord or open a ticket to request your desired ISO and we will be happy to add it as a template for you!
