How to order your first server
Step-by-step guide to picking a plan, configuring the order, paying and claiming your new game or VPS server.
Ordering a WingNode server takes under five minutes. This guide walks you through each screen of the checkout flow and explains the configuration options.
1. Pick the right product category
- Gaming Hosting — managed slots for Minecraft, FiveM, CS 1.6, Rust and more.
- VPS Hosting — self-managed Linux/Windows virtual servers (Budget, Premium or Extreme).
- Dedicated Servers — full physical machines with exclusive hardware access.
- Shield Tunnel — DDoS protection tunnel for servers hosted elsewhere.
2. Configure the plan
Each plan page shows RAM, CPU, storage and player slots where applicable. For Minecraft pick based on expected concurrent players:
- Up to 10 players → 2 GB RAM
- 10–25 players → 4 GB RAM
- 25–50 players → 6–8 GB RAM
- 50+ players → 10 GB+ RAM
3. Choose billing cycle
Monthly billing is the default. Longer cycles (quarterly, annual) unlock discounts — usually 10% to 20% off.
4. Checkout
Accepted payment methods: credit/debit cards (via Stripe), PayPal and bank transfer for annual plans. Cryptocurrency is available on request.
5. Claim the service
Setup is automatic for most products. Within minutes you'll get an email with panel credentials. VPS orders with custom operating systems may take up to 15 minutes for provisioning.
