# Buying a VPS

> Order a VPS in a few clicks. Provisioning is automatic — your machine is ready in roughly 1–2 minutes after payment.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Servers shop">
    From the Dashboard, open **Shop → Servers**.

    You'll see all available VPS plans (Plank, Broglie, Einstein) and the dedicated server line-up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a plan">
    Click the plan you want to buy. You'll land on the configuration page where you choose every detail of the machine.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your VPS">
    On the detail page you can choose:

    * **Billing period** — 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. Longer periods come with a discount.
    * **Operating system** — Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 25, Debian 12, Debian 13, or Windows Server 2022.
    * **Hostname** — a label for your VM (you can leave the default).
    * **Extra IPs** — add up to 8 additional public IPv4 addresses at **\$1.45/IP/month**.
    * **Automatic backups** — opt in to weekly snapshots (**\$5 / month**, optional).

    <Tip>
      You don't need to choose a password here — we **auto-generate a secure random password** for your VPS during provisioning. It will be shown to you in the Dashboard once the VPS is ready. You can change it any time via **Reset Password**.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay">
    Click **Buy** and complete payment. We accept:

    * **Stripe** — credit / debit card, instant.
    * **Cryptomus** — Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and more.

    Once payment is confirmed, provisioning starts automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait \~1–2 minutes">
    Your VPS appears immediately in **Dashboard → Servers** with a **Building…** status while we install the OS and configure networking.

    As soon as it's ready, the status flips to **Active** and you can connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect">
    Once your VPS is active, click it from **Dashboard → Servers** to see:

    * The public **IP address**.
    * Your **username** (`ubuntu`, `debian`, or `Administrator` for Windows).
    * The **auto-generated password** for the initial login (you can copy it from the Dashboard, or change it any time via **Reset Password**).
    * SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows) connection details.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens behind the scenes

Right after payment, our system:

1. Reserves a free IP for your machine.
2. Clones a fresh copy of your chosen OS.
3. Generates a secure random password and applies your hostname and network configuration.
4. Boots the machine and verifies it's reachable.

The whole flow is automatic — you don't need to do anything between paying and connecting.

## Troubleshooting purchase issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="My VPS is stuck on 'Building…'" icon="sparkles">
    Building usually completes in 1–2 minutes. If it's been more than 10 minutes, refresh the Dashboard. Our system automatically detects stuck builds and recovers them within a few minutes. If the issue persists, contact support with your order ID.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Payment went through but I don't see a VPS" icon="sparkles">
    Refresh the Dashboard once — provisioning kicks off the moment payment is confirmed. If nothing appears after a few minutes, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) with your payment reference and we'll trace it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I can't connect with my password" icon="sparkles">
    Reset it directly from the Dashboard. See [Managing your VPS](/documentation/virtual-private-servers/managing) for the steps.
