Order to running server in minutes: how automated provisioning works

Click buy, and a few minutes later your login is in your inbox — no human in the loop. Here's what happens between those two moments.

The old way vs. the automated way

Traditionally you'd order, then wait for someone to manually build your server and email you — sometimes hours, sometimes a day. Automated provisioning removes the human bottleneck: the same steps happen the instant your payment confirms, 24/7, identically every time.

What happens when you order

  1. You pay via Stripe (€, monthly, cancel anytime).
  2. A webhook fires the moment payment confirms, telling our billing system the order is paid.
  3. The provisioner runs — it picks a US compute node and builds your product:

VPS

It clones a clean OS template (your chosen Linux distro, or Windows Server) into a new KVM virtual machine on a node, sets it up, and creates a restricted per-VM panel account so you can manage just your own machine. Then it emails your IP, dedicated SSH/RDP port and credentials.

Game servers

It creates a server on our game panel for your chosen game, allocates ports, and emails your panel login so you can pick a version, upload files and start it.

Web hosting

It creates your account on our web hosting platform across our web nodes and emails your control-panel login.

Windows (the hard one)

Windows can't take a cloud password the simple way Linux does, so we built a setup hook that injects your personal Administrator credentials on first boot, then emails them. Getting this reliable took a stack of rebuilds — but the result is hands-off Windows in minutes.

Typical end-to-end time: a few minutes from payment to credentials in your inbox. No ticket required.

Why we built it this way

Three reasons: it's fast (minutes, any hour), it's consistent (every server is built the same way, so there's less to go wrong), and it lets a small team run real infrastructure without staffing a 24/7 build desk. It also means we can be honest on our public status page about what's running.

One honest note

Automation is only as good as its testing. We've verified the full flow end to end, but we still watch every early order closely and you can always reach a human at [email protected] if anything looks off.

FAQ

How long does provisioning take?

Usually a few minutes from confirmed payment to credentials in your inbox — any time of day.

Is it really hands-off?

Yes. Payment triggers a webhook, the provisioner builds your server, and your login is emailed automatically. No ticket needed.

What if something fails?

We monitor early orders and run health checks; if anything looks wrong, email [email protected] and a human will sort it.

Do you support Windows automatically too?

Yes — a custom setup hook injects your personal admin credentials on first boot and emails them, so Windows is hands-off too.
