You've decided that you need a Dedicated Server hosting solution. You've chosen the hardware configuration and add-ons you need, completed the ordering process, and everything on your end has been taken care of. Now what?

This article provides a checklist of articles that you can follow to get up and running more smoothly. The linked articles and information should be simple enough for those less tech-savy to follow, however, we stress that the dedicated server hosting solutions from SuperbHosting.net are self-managed. While we don't expect all of our customers to be server administrators, a certain level of knowledge and understanding is necessary to use and maintain a dedicated server. Individuals renting or leasing these servers should be comfortable with (and understand the importance of) regular maintenance, updates and the patching of their system, as well as knowing when they are in over their head. Certain aspects of a dedicated server hosting solution may require a trained professional.

For more information about managed services (for those who need a dedicated server but do not have the expertise to manage it themselves) or the approximate cost of managed services, please contact your Sales Representative, send an E-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Design & Development

Once you have gained access to your account via the myCP® customer portal and confirmed that you are able to upload files to your account, you will need to design and develop your website (if you haven't already). We provide an online WYSIWYG application, WebsiteCreator that can be used to quickly and easily create an entry-level website. A series of articles have been posted in the wiki that will help you through the process, but we stress that there are limits to what WebsiteCreator can do.
