Chapter 1: Managed VPS
How do you order a new VPS
Visit the Geckotools Site and select the VPS you need
What are the options
The site will provide you with the most up to date options (this may change frequently as we provide new possibilities or discontinue certain options.).
There are four main factors that determine you choice:
- Server Specs:
- Server Template:
- SLA:
- Deployment destination: TODO - this is not yet available from the store
The price of your selected Managed VPS is determined by the sum of the cost of the individual items you selected above. Please note that in the case where the Deployment destination is an external cloud provider, the actual cloud costs are directly billed to the customer and will not be seen on the Geckotools invoice for the provision of the selected products.
How do you manage your VPS
Geckotools provides a Customer console that allows you to manage the software you install and deploy to your server. This web interface protects you from being able to accidently break system security.
However, as a modern customer that develops their own software, you will want to deploy your software using your existing CI/CD toolset. TODO - provide Geckotools CD API
