Creating a VPS+ server

Valid for VPS+.

This article shows you how to create additional servers within the Cloud Panel, alongside your existing VPS+.

Note

The creation of an additional VPS+ is only possible in the Cloud Panel if you have already created a VPS+. In this case, you can create another VPS+ as part of the same contract within the Cloud Panel.

  • Log in to your IONOS account.

  • Click on Menu > Servers & Cloud in the title bar. 
    Optional: If you have multiple server contracts, select the desired contract.

  • Click on Create in the Infrastructure > Servers area of Cloud Panel. The Create server area opens.
The Create button is highlighted in the Cloud Panel.
The Create button is highlighted in the Cloud Panel.
  • Enter the desired server name in the Name field.
  • Select the desired server configuration in the Size list.
  • Select the operating system for the server in the Images area.
  • For Microsoft Windows Server operating system: Read and accept the Microsoft end user license conditions.
  • Select the desired data centre in the Datacenter area.
Notes

  • The shorter the geographical distance between your servers and the visitors, the shorter the loading times. To optimise the loading time, we recommend selecting an IONOS data centre that is close to your users.

  • Firewall policies can be assigned to all servers regardless of the IONOS data centre selected.

The server will now be created.
