AFRIGLADE

Get Your VPS Ready in Minutes

Whether you prefer Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Windows Server or another distribution, we support full OS installation and configuration.

1️⃣

Order Your VPS

Choose a plan that matches your needs (CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth). Our team will provision the server and share access credentials securely.

2️⃣

Access the Control Panel / Console

Log into the provider control panel or use the KVM / VNC / serial console we provide. This allows you to interact with the server even before the OS is fully installed.

3️⃣

Select or Upload the OS Image

Most providers offer a library of official OS templates (Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, Windows, etc.). You can also upload a custom ISO if needed.

4️⃣

Boot from the Installer

Attach the ISO, set boot priority, and reboot. Follow the on-screen installer for partitioning, user creation, network setup and package selection.

5️⃣

Initial Configuration

After installation: update the system, configure firewall (UFW / firewalld), set up SSH keys, create non-root users, and harden security settings.

6️⃣

Optional: Managed Setup

Prefer we handle everything? AfriGlade can fully install, secure and configure your preferred OS and hand over a production-ready server.

Popular Operating Systems We Support

Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 Debian 12 AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux CentOS Stream Windows Server Custom ISO

Best Practices After Installation

Immediately change default passwords and disable password authentication for SSH where possible (use keys).
Enable automatic security updates or set a regular patching schedule.
Configure a host-based firewall and only open required ports.
Set up regular backups (snapshots + off-server backups).
Install monitoring and log management tools.
Document your configuration for future reference.
