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**:
**Global: (other than USA Residents):**

**US Residents:**

Ensure you select the correct configuration when placing your order.
**VPS for Advance Setup:**
Select the **OVH VPS** based on your preferred **datacenter location**.
Click '**Next**' and complete the order.

**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.
### **4. Provide Necessary Details:**
Please provide the following information for the server configuration:
* **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*).
***
By following these steps and providing the necessary information, you'll ensure a smooth and efficient advance server setup.
