If we started contacting VPS earlier NET business friends will certainly feel the same as the original Linode, "expensive", although VPS NET merchants have a good reputation and brand, but the price is in front of them. Even though they have more than a dozen data centers in their home, many friends must be deterred by the price (the minimum monthly payment was 12 dollars). However, the official must be aware of this, and decided to adjust the scheme to reduce the SSD VPS host scheme from the original 12 dollars to 5 dollars per month, which can at least drive the starting consumer.
In addition, we also learned from some overseas hosting companies that give us a free account balance of $10 for new registered accounts, which gives us another choice of businesses. However, this free account balance of $10 can only consume VPS hosting products of more than $12, but it's better than nothing. Just take it. Although Lao Zuo has written about the account registration and VPS purchase tutorial of this merchant before, the interface is slightly different now. I was just about to start a SSD VPS test machine and record the entire tutorial.
First, visit the official website
VPSNET official website address: www .vps.net
At present, users are in VPS NET merchants mostly choose Cloud Servers and SSD VPS Servers products. Here Laozuo pays attention to their cheap SSD VPS products, as shown by the arrow in the figure above.
Second, choose the SSD VPS host scheme
I haven't registered an account here. It doesn't matter if we have an account or don't have an account, but we will have to enter account information later.
Here you can see the six configuration schemes of the current SSD VPS host. Select the 512MB scheme as needed, and then select the system installed by default and the Los Angeles machine room. There are six data centers in total, which are all based on needs. Then you can see the BUY VPS button below to continue.
Notes: I need to make a change here, because the official reward of $10 can only be used if the purchase order scheme is $12 or more, so I use the VPS scheme with a monthly fee of $12 within 1GB. If I still choose the 512MB scheme with a monthly fee of $5, I cannot enjoy the $10 reward.
Here we can see that Lao Zuo chose the $12 monthly fee scheme, and then used the $10 discount code GIVEME10 to give a $10 discount. Finally, I only need to pay $2 (the first month).
Third, newly registered VPS NET Account and Payment
According to the experience of netizens and the fact that I also registered their accounts last year, their accounts were still strictly audited. Some said they needed to submit authentication materials, such as ID card scanning copies, but I really didn't submit this information last year. This year is not certain, so I went to register an account based on the verification results, and everything was true (at least we were qualified to take out the information when we submitted it).
Here we fill in the account information according to our personal actual situation. Fill in all in Pinyin, which is more true, because you may need to verify your account later.
Here I can choose credit card or PAYPAL payment, and here I choose the latter. After submission, you will also jump to PAYPAL. After normal payment and account login, you will see this information.
It roughly means that our account password has not been recorded yet, and we need to enter the password at the time of account registration, so we need to enter the password set at the time of account registration again. After logging in, you will be prompted that you cannot log in because the "account is on hold" account is locked.
Fourth, verify VPS NET new registered account problem
We will solve problems when we encounter them. Often, businesses with complex registration may (not necessarily) have stable performance. Because many people are worried about and dislike trouble, we should not be afraid of trouble to solve problems. Here we need to verify two issues.
A - Mail Activation
Let's activate email verification first.
B - Submit personal information certification
According to the email, I need to provide a scanned copy of my ID card, as well as the bill and credit card information. Here I use PAYPAL to pay, so I'm going to take a screenshot of the same name when I log in to my PAYPAL account. If we pay by credit card, we need to scan the front of the credit card. (If necessary, put some watermark on the certificate), and then send an email to“ antifraud@vps.net "Mailbox authentication.
Notes: When I submit my email, it indicates my account email address and my Paypal payment. There are two pictures in the attachment, one is the scanned ID card and the other is the screenshot of Paypal. The message has been sent here, waiting for an answer. (In order to complete this complete process, it took two days to sort it out intermittently. In short, the final goal will not be released, nor will it be hearsay.)
Here is a small episode. There is no problem in submitting scanned copies of ID cards. When I took a screenshot of PAYPAL, the first time I took a screenshot was the Chinese interface. Later, I sent a letter saying whether I could take a screenshot of the English interface. I added a new PAYPAL background home page that switched to the English interface to see whether our account had been verified. What needs to be mentioned here is that according to @ scholar, if we need to activate CLOUD machine, we may need to apply for a handheld ID card verification, but when we activate SSD VPS, we have not yet required a handheld one.
Fifth, after verification, open VPS login
After the verification is completed, we will receive several emails.
At this time, we can log in to the VPS NET account. Later, I saw my enabled machine in the SSD VPS menu in the background.
In this way, Lao Zuo spent 2 dollars to open a SSD VPS host scheme that was originally priced at 12 dollars. The second month's renewal still requires 12 dollars. I just want to verify the integrity of the process here, and this free $10 activity can only be used when the scheme is more than 12 dollars. I would rather spend only 2 dollars to open a 512MB scheme test at 5 dollars, wouldn't I?
To sum up, this article took nearly two days to complete and experience the rough process of VPSNET merchants' account opening and VPS purchase. In fact, it is good, mainly because information verification needs to be submitted, which can ensure the cost performance of the product (can block some troubled users). Secondly, it is also a way to experience foreigners who also need to verify real name systems.
PS: For the SSD VPS Los Angeles machine room scheme opened by Lao Zuo, I found a time later to test the performance. Just now, I pinged it myself, and the speed was relatively good. We all hope that one day the SSD scheme will have an Asian node machine room as well as the CLOUD scheme, which may come soon.
Supplementary preferential activities:
The group friend @ Scott told us that if we need to buy the Singapore node Cloud scheme machine, we can enter the 66566 discount code to buy the $20 scheme at half price of only $10, and enjoy half price for three months.
