Naiba recommends in
VPS recommendations for beginnersRamNode, a hosting provider previously introduced, may not have the most competitive pricing, but its stability and service are well worth it. Coincidentally, Naiba's test site server is about to expire, so I'm purchasing a new annual RamNode VPS. If you are a user involved in foreign trade, you might consider their servers.
RamNode Purchase Process Illustrated Tutorial
Note: RamNode launched a new cloud platform in July. This tutorial has been updated accordingly. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. The new RamNode cloud platform also adopts a pay-as-you-go billing model, charging only for the time used.RamNode Cloud Platform Registration Address:Click here to visit
1. Create a Cloud Platform Account and Add Funds
RamNode launched a new cloud platform in July. The old tutorial is no longer applicable, so you need to register a cloud platform account first.
Click here for the registration address. 1. After clicking the RamNode cloud platform registration address, you will see the interface shown in the image below. Click the Checkout button directly.
2. On the new page, fill in the relevant information as annotated in the image below:
3. At the bottom of the registration page, select your preferred payment method, then click the Complete Order button.
4. Since it's a $0 bill, the account will be activated automatically. You can then view your service to see the cloud platform account information you just purchased, as shown in the image below:
5. Click on 'RamNode Cloud Account' (anywhere within the red box in the image above) to enter the service details page, which will display the interface shown below.
6. Top up your account. Since the revamped RamNode also uses hourly billing (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 any amount. The cheapest plan caps at $3 per month. Naiba recommends purchasing at least a $5 machine for better performance.)
7. After clicking the top-up button, the screen above appears. Select your payment method and click the payment button. Naiba used PayPal for payment here.
8. After payment is complete, click 'Manage PayPal' (this automatically activates PayPal automatic payments. You can skip this step if you wish.)
9. Cancel automatic payment button.
II. Purchase a Server
①. After topping up, click the cloud platform login button, as shown below:
②. Click the 'Instances' button on the left side of the page, then click the '+' sign in the lower right corner to create a cloud server.
③. The cloud server creation page is shown below. It is recommended to purchase a configuration with at least 1GB of RAM (though a 512MB one can be used if you're on a tight budget.)
④. After creation, it will look like the image below. When 'RUNNING' appears, it means the server has been successfully created.
⑤. Click on the server to enter its details page. Clicking the button in the upper right corner reveals more function buttons.
Using SSH to Manage the Server
Open Xshell, create a new session, and enter the IP in the host field. For VPS management, you can also refer to:

For user authentication, enter the root username. It's not recommended to save the password, but you can save it if you are confident in your computer's security.
Accept the SSH security warning.
Change VPS Password (if needed)
If you need to change the VPS password, connect to the VPS using Xshell, then type
passwdpress Enter, and enter the same password twice. (The password will not be displayed.)
