Quick answer: Log in at cloud2y.com, open the Store and pick a plan from the Storage VPS group. Choose your OS, location and billing cycle, then pay — the server is provisioned automatically, usually within 30 minutes of confirmed payment.
Overview
Ordering a Storage VPS works exactly like any other Cloud2Y VPS: pick the plan whose disk size covers your data plus growth, configure the options, and pay with Visa/Mastercard, Pay by Card (Apple Pay & Google Pay) or USDT. Longer billing cycles discount the base price — useful for a server that will run for years holding your archives.
Before you start
- A Cloud2Y account and a size estimate for your data (current volume + retention growth).
- A preferred location — Ukraine (Kyiv DC2, Lviv DC3), Amsterdam or Singapore; putting backups in a different location from production adds resilience.
- A familiar Linux distribution — Debian or Ubuntu are the usual choices for a pure storage box.
Step-by-step guide
- Log in and open the Store, then the Storage VPS product group.
- Pick the plan with enough disk for your estimate — leave 20–30% headroom.
- Set the configurable options: OS, location, and any extras you need.
- Select a billing cycle (longer cycles cost less per month).
- Pay and watch My Services — the server activates once payment confirms, then note its IP and root login from the service page.
Common issues
- Plan too small: retention grows data faster than expected — when in doubt, take the next size up or upgrade later.
- Same location as production: works, but a regional incident then affects both copies — consider a second region.
- Order stuck Pending: payment may still be confirming; card and USDT usually clear within minutes.
When to contact support
If no listed plan is big enough, or you want advice matching retention policy to plan size, open a support ticket — custom disk configurations can often be arranged.
