Hetzner has been providing hosting since 1997 and is certified to operate data center facilities. It provides very good cloud servers, from data centers that are based in Germany and Finland.

Before moving forward, you must have an account on Hetzner, if you don’t have an account on Hetzner click here to register, If you have already an account then click here and provide credentials and log in.
If you don’t have a project, you can create one once you are logged in. As I have already created two projects, I’ll proceed to create a new server on Hetzner. To do this, select the project box to create a server.
After clicking on the project you can see the project dashboard where you can add the server. For adding a new server click on Add Server button.
Now follow the step-by-step procedure for creating a server.
1- Choose the Location
In this step, you can choose a data center Location or Region from the following locations.
2- Choose the Image
In this section, you must choose Ubuntu 20.04, because CloudPages only works with Ubuntu.
3- Choose the Type
Select the appropriate type here Standard or Dedicated. When you choose a type, it will display a list of plans and prices. Select the plan based on what you want from the list.
4- Add Volume
If you want to add extra volume, click on Create Volume and add a volume according to your requirements. (We will leave it to defaults here)
5- Add Network
According to your requirements, if you want to add a network, click on Create Network and add it. (We will leave it to defaults here)
