Once registered and signed in, you are ready to start managing your cloud servers using ServerAvatar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting your cloud server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To allow ServerAvatar to manage your server, you\u2019ll first need to connect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the Connect your first Server<\/em> button in the middle of your dashboard to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will then see a new server configuration window. Make the following configurations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• Name the server<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Enter the IP address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Enter the root password<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Select which web service you wish to use, Apache or Nginx.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  Then click the Connect Now button to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  ServerAvatar will then connect to your cloud server and set it up for management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Once your cloud server has been connected, you can see some server details including the current resource usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Your cloud server is then connected to your ServerAvatar account. Continue below with creating your first application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Create a new application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  Now that your cloud server is connected, you can begin deploying applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  On the Server Panel, click the Create<\/em> button under the Applications section, then configure your first app with the following settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \n
  • Name your application<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Enter the primary domain name of your website<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Select your application type, WordPress in this example<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Following that, set the title for your WP site<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Then set a username and password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, click the Create Application<\/em> button to launch the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    After your first application has been deployed, you\u2019ll see the app details including your FTP credentials in the application dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Now, if you configured your domain name to point to your cloud server IP address, you can likely already reach the website. Open your domain on your web browser, and if everything was set correctly, you\u2019ll see the default WP page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s it! Your first WordPress site with ServerAvatar is now up and running. You can continue to the WordPress site and begin configuring it to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The ServerAvatar\u2019s base tier free plan only includes one server and one website but if you upgrade to the next tier, you can easily create multiple websites on a single server greatly simplifying the setup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","community-category":[113,116],"class_list":["post-24874","tutorial","type-tutorial","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","community-category-integrations","community-category-web-hosting"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tutorial\/24874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tutorial"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tutorial"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"community-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/community-category?post=24874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
