Deploy your first server

Before you begin#

You need an Avenlith account and an SSH key. Every new account receives €20 of credit to test the platform.

1. Choose a region#

Pick the region closest to your users. Istanbul (IST1) and Moscow (MOW1) have the lowest latency for Türkiye and CIS; Frankfurt (FRA1) serves Western Europe.

2. Create the server#

In the console choose Servers → Create, or use the CLI:

avenlith server create \
  --name web-01 \
  --plan vps-pro \
  --region ist1 \
  --image ubuntu-26.04 \
  --ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

3. Connect#

The server is ready in about 40 seconds. Connect with the IP shown in the console:

ssh root@203.0.113.24

Next steps#
