Set up my Gen 4 server

After you purchase a Generation 4 VPS or Dedicated Server, it’s time to complete your setup with its server name and other administrative info.

• Go to your ELITE WEB Co. product page.
• Under Servers, next to the Generation 4 server you want to use, click Manage.
• Enter a name for your server in the Server name field.
• Select an OS and data center location (if available) and then click Next. Note: For self-managed servers: learn more about ISPConfig.
• Complete the following fields, and then click finish

Field	Description
Admin Username	Create a username to log in to your server. Use a string of 5 to 12 lowercase letters and/or numbers. Don’t use reserved words like “server” or “password.”
Password & Confirm Password	Enter a password to log in to the server.

• We’ll complete the setup and your server should be ready to use shortly. 

Note: If your server isn’t ready to go within 6 hours, contact a ELITE WEB Co. Guide for assistance.
