Once you have placed your Joomla Server order and received the welcome email, the final step is to create your Joomla Server instance. This can be done via the the client area and following the below steps:

  1. Login to the client area. New clients will have details in the welcome area, or you can access via our homepage and the MY ACCOUNT link.
  2. Once logged in, choose SERVICES and then MY SERVICES from the primary menu.
  3. Click on the green active button alongside the new Joomla Server.
  4. On VPS Product Detail page, you will see a section simillar to that shown below:

    Please complete each value as required. IMPORTANT, see notes on some fields as per below:

    SERVER LABEL: This is you internal reference name.
    HOSTNAME: You MUST enter the same hostname you specified during the order process. But this must be the FULL host name. For example, if you set the domain to 'mydomain.com.au' and the hostname to 'vps' during the order process, you will need to set this as 'vps.mydomain.com.au'. If you do not enter this, you will receive an error.
    SELECT LOCATION: The location you wish to have your VPS located in.
    SELECT OS TYPE: This cannot be changed at this point, and has been set during the previous order process. Contact support if you wish to change.
