Quick answer: A VPS or VDS is deployed automatically, usually within 30 minutes or less of confirmed payment. Dedicated servers may need manual setup and are typically ready within 24 hours (setup time may vary depending on the selected configuration). Deployment starts only after payment is confirmed.
Overview
Deployment time depends on the product type and how quickly your payment clears. Virtual servers are near-instant; dedicated hardware can take longer to prepare.
Before you start
- A completed order and a payment method — deployment begins after payment confirmation.
- Your invoice number, in case you need to check status.
Step-by-step guide
- Complete your order and payment.
- Wait for payment confirmation — card and USDT payments usually confirm within minutes.
- Check My Services — the status moves from Pending to Active.
- Open the service for its IP and login once Active.
Common issues
- Payment cleared but still Pending? Dedicated servers may be in manual setup; give it the expected window.
- Payment not showing yet? Card and USDT usually confirm within minutes — check the service status shortly after paying.
- Never received activation email? Check spam and your service status.
When to contact support
If your service hasn't appeared well beyond the expected time, open a support ticket with your invoice number and we'll check on it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my VPS not ready yet?
First check that your payment is confirmed and look at the service status in My Services — a VPS is usually ready within 30 minutes. If it takes much longer, open a support ticket.
Which payment method is fastest?
All Cloud2Y payment methods — Visa/Mastercard, Pay by Card (Apple Pay & Google Pay) and USDT — usually confirm within minutes, so your server starts deploying almost immediately.
