Next Steps for Advance Server Setup
Complete the next steps for advance server setup, including VPS, domains, and additional IPs.
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.
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.
