Getting started with SoftServer

From registration to a running server with SSL in under an hour.

What you get

SoftServer is a VPS with a control panel included. You get dedicated CPU, RAM and NVMe storage in Frankfurt, plus one-click installs for WordPress, Laravel, Next.js and more.

The panel handles Nginx, PHP, MariaDB, SSL, backups, domains and Git deploys. SSH is available, but you do not need it for day-to-day work.

1. Create your account

Register, confirm your email, and sign in. Add credit to your wallet or pay when you order — prices are shown upfront on the pricing page.

2. Deploy a server

Choose a plan (Sandbox is fine for testing), pick a billing period, and confirm. Provisioning typically takes a few minutes. When the server is running, open it from the dashboard.

3. Install what you need

Use Applications to install a full stack or individual components. WordPress and Laravel installs configure the web server, database and runtime for you.

4. Connect your domain

Add your domain in the panel, update DNS at your registrar using the records we display, then issue a free Let's Encrypt certificate with one click.
