2020 New Version RamNode Cloud Platform Registration, Purchase, and Usage Tutorial

Naiba inVPS Recommendations Suitable for BeginnersIntroduced the hosting provider RamNode. Although the price isn't particularly advantageous, the stability and service are still worthwhile. Coincidentally, Naiba's test site's server is about to expire, so I'm repurchasing a RamNode annual VPS to use. If you are a user engaged in foreign trade, you can consider this provider's servers.

RamNode Purchase Process Illustrated Tutorial

Note: RamNode launched a new cloud platform in July. This tutorial has been updated accordingly. If you have any questions, please leave a comment to discuss.

The new version of the RamNode cloud platform also adopts a pay-as-you-go billing model, charging only for the time used.

1. Create a Cloud Platform Account and Top Up

RamNode launched a new cloud platform in July. The previous old tutorial is no longer applicable, so you need to register a cloud platform account first.Click here for the registration address。

1. Click the RamNode cloud platform registration link, and the interface below appears. Directly click the Checkout button.

2. On the new page that appears, fill in the relevant information as annotated in the image below:

3. At the bottom of the registration page, select the payment method you want to use, then click the Complete Order button.

4. Because it's a $0 bill, it will be activated automatically. Then, in your services, you can see the cloud platform account information you just purchased, as shown in the image below:

5. Click on RamNode Cloud Account (anywhere in the red box in the image above) to enter the service details page, and the interface shown in the image below will appear.

6. Top up the account. Because the revamped RamNode also uses an hourly billing model (with a monthly price cap), you need to have a prepaid balance to provision a server. Click the top-up button in the image above (you can enter the amount yourself. The cheapest plan has a monthly cap of $3. Naiba recommends buying at least a $5 machine for better performance.)

7. After clicking the top-up button, the image above appears. Select the payment method and click the payment button. Naiba used PayPal for payment here.

8. After payment is complete, click Manage PayPal (PayPal automatic payments are automatically activated. You can skip this step if you need to.)

9. Cancel automatic payment button.
