How to Order a VPS Hosting Plan
To get started, visit RackNerd’s KVM VPS page and explore the available plans.
Once you’ve found the right one, click Order Now to begin the purchase process.
Step 1: Configure Your VPS
After selecting your plan, you’ll be taken to a configuration page where you can:
- Choose your preferred datacenter location (e.g., Los Angeles, Dallas, New Jersey, etc.)
- Select your desired operating system (e.g., CentOS, AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian)
- Pick your billing cycle (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual)
Once configured, click Continue to proceed.
Step 2: Review and Checkout
On the checkout page, review your VPS order summary. You’ll need to provide your customer information and create an account if it’s your first time ordering from RackNerd.
RackNerd accepts various payment methods, including:
- PayPal
- Credit Card
- Cryptocurrency
- Wire Transfers
You can also include order notes if you have any special requests, but we recommend opening a support ticket after placing your order for time-sensitive assistance.
Agree to the terms of service and click Complete Order to finalize your purchase.
After Your Order
Once submitted, your VPS will be provisioned automatically. Most deployments are completed within 5 to 15 minutes.
You’ll receive an order confirmation email, along with a separate email titled “KVM VPS Login Information.” This email contains:
- IP address and SSH root login credentials
- NerdVM (SolusVM) control panel URL
- Username and password for SolusVM
Accessing and Managing Your VPS
Log in to the RackNerd Client Area and navigate to Services > VPS Hosting to view your active service.
Click on your VPS to view management options. From here, you can:
- Access the VPS Control Panel (SolusVM)
- Reboot, reinstall, or shutdown your VPS
- View bandwidth usage and other resource metrics
Please note: Your VPS Control Panel (SolusVM) login is different from your client area credentials. If you need to locate it, go to the “View Email Log” section and open the KVM VPS Login Information email.
Connecting to Your VPS via SSH
To connect to your VPS, you can use any SSH client such as:
- Bitvise SSH Client (Windows)
- Terminal (macOS/Linux)
Enter your IP address and root login credentials from the KVM VPS email. Keep in mind that when pasting your password, some SSH clients may not show the input for security reasons — just paste and press Enter.
Once connected, you’re ready to install software, run applications, or configure the server as needed.
