To enter the cloud server creation page

log in to Nearoute, select "NServer (Cloud Compute)" on the left sidebar, and then click the "Create Server" button to enter the cloud server creation page. Alternatively, you can directly access the cloud server creation page at https://my.nearoute.com/nserver/create.

After clicking "Create," you will see the following interface:

Select Region

First, you need to select a region. Currently, you can choose from Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seattle.

Select Operating System

Next, you need to select the operating system for the server. "CentOS 7 x64" is already selected for you by default. Click on the operating system you want to select, and a window will pop up to choose the version of the operating system you need. After selecting, click the "Confirm" button to complete the selection.

Select Instance Package Type

After selecting the operating system, you need to choose the instance package type for the server. The 1TB package is selected for you by default. Note that our billing is based on hourly usage, and the monthly fee shown here is the maximum fee for using the server for an entire month.

You can also choose "IPv6 only," which is usually cheaper than IPv4, but this feature is not fully available yet and is still in testing.

Fill in Other Information

After selecting the package type, you need to fill in some other information. You need to choose whether to log in to the server using a key or root password. See the images below:

If you haven't created a key login yet, click "Create" to create one.

In the popup window, enter a name, select a region, leave "public key (optional)" blank, and click the "Confirm" button to generate. A file will be generated and downloaded to your local machine. Choose the key login method you created:

Alternatively, you can choose to log in with the root password:

Note that the password is only displayed once, so please keep it safe. If you forget it, you can change it later by reinstalling the system.

Finally, select a security group. You can create a new security group or choose an existing one.

Create a New Security Group:

Choose an Existing Security Group:

Create Cloud Server

After completing the above steps, click the "Create" button to start creating the cloud server. After the creation request is submitted, you will be automatically redirected to the cloud server list page, where you will see an instance being created. It usually takes 1-3 minutes to create a cloud server, so you may need to refresh the page to check the latest status and confirm if the creation is completed. If the creation takes a long time, please submit a ticket to contact us. After the creation is completed, the status of the cloud server will change to "Running," and you can view detailed information about the server.

Conclusion

You have now completed the process of creating a cloud server and can start using it. If you find that you cannot ping or connect to the cloud server, it may be because the security group has not been configured. You can refer to the documentation on how to configure security groups. If you don't know how to connect to the cloud server, you can refer to the documentation on how to connect to our cloud server.
