Create a server

Pick a size and a region; the server is ready to deploy to in a few minutes.

  1. Open Servers in the console and click New server.
  2. Choose a region close to your users, then a size. The price for each size is shown before you confirm.
  3. Give the server a name and confirm. Setup takes a few minutes; the server card shows its progress and you get a notification when it is ready.

Free trial

Your first server can be a free trial: one server for 24 hours, no card needed. Upgrade it before the trial ends to keep it and everything on it.

Changing it later

A server can be resized from its settings without rebuilding it. You can also add storage, rename it, and set its time zone and maintenance window there.

Note: storage you add to a server can't be removed on its own — it becomes part of the server's storage. It is billed monthly for as long as the server exists, and is deleted along with the server.
