5. Then, select the Region you want and the Image of the Linux. We tested European Union (Germany), and it works like a charm. We never had any problem besides it’s free. For the Image of the Linux, in our guides, we will work on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS because it’s so easy, solid, comes with long-term support, and works flawlessly.

6. Select the number of IPv4 addresses you want to have on your server. You can start with one IP (default, included for free), and later if you need more, you can add. For the Add-Ons (below the IPv4 address), you can keep them as default because you will manage your server from A to Z and have your own configuration. When you’re done, click on Next.
