# Next Steps for Advance Server Setup

<figure><img src="/files/CUBtS5WYj7sJz5U3vQNT" alt=""><figcaption><p>Advance server setup</p></figcaption></figure>

To proceed with your advance server setup, please follow these steps:

### **1. Acquire the Virtual Private Servers (VPS):**

To set up your **advance email server**, ensure your VPS meets the following specifications:

* **VPS:** Ubuntu 22, **4 GB RAM, 40GB storage**
* **Root Access:** Required for full configuration

You can purchase the **VPS from OVH** or any other provider that meets these requirements. Ensure you select the correct configuration when placing your order.

Use the links below to purchase the **OVH server**:

**Important:** Before purchasing, create an **OVH account** with accurate details, as identity verification (government ID and address proof) may be required.
{% endhint %}

### **2. Purchasing Additional IPs:**

After purchasing your VPS or dedicated server, you can request additional IP addresses from your server provider. While your VPS comes with a default IP, the setup requires **5 additional IPs** for each **2GB VPS**.

For OVH, you can add IPs through their control panel after logging into your account.

Once your OVH VPS is activated, you can purchase additional IPs via:\
\
**OVH Control Panel → Bare Metal Cloud → Network → IP → Order IPs.**

Order total **15 dedicated IPs** for that VPS (SMTP server).

After clicking **"Continue my order,"** an order number will be generated.

Click on the order to proceed with payment. The OVH team will allocate your IPs within a few hours.

### **3.** Obtain the Domains:

You can purchase additional domains from any domain registrars like **GoDaddy**, etc.

For the server setup, you can use any **.com** domain. If you have the **spare domains**, it can be used; otherwise, you can purchase a new one from **GoDaddy** or any domain registrar.

**Important:** Avoid using domains that already host a website, as the setup process involves installing a web application and SMTPs, which may disrupt your existing site.

However, you can still use your **existing domains** for sending emails to your contact list with our white-label (or reseller panel) solution.

* **Domain Control Panel:** Username & Password *(or set up the provided nameservers)*
* **OVH Control Panel:** Username & Password
* **Server Root Access:** VPS access credentials (*provided via email*).
