Quick Start

Get your first VPS running in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

You need a wasaaCloud account. If you don't have one, create one for free — no credit card required for the 7-day trial.

1. Create your account

Visit the registration page and sign up with your email. You'll receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account.

Use your work email for easier team collaboration later.

2. Deploy your first VPS

From the dashboard, click Create Instance. Select a plan, choose your operating system and region, then click Deploy.

bash

# Using the wasaaCloud CLI
wc login
wc instances create \
  --name my-first-server \
  --type vps.micro \
  --os ubuntu-22.04 \
  --region af-ke-1

# Your instance will be ready in ~60 seconds
wc instances list

3. Connect via SSH

Once your instance is running, connect using SSH. Your public IP is shown in the dashboard.

bash

ssh root@196.201.xx.xx

# Or with a key file
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa root@196.201.xx.xx

You now have a running VPS. Check out VPS Actions to learn how to stop, restart, snapshot and resize your instance.
