Getting Started
Welcome to OneProvider documentation. This chapter helps you go from a new account to a running service as quickly as possible.
What you can do with OneProvider
OneProvider offers multiple product types to fit different needs:
- OneCloud (Cloud Instances): virtual machines you can deploy quickly (availability depends on regional capacity)
- Bare Metal (Dedicated Servers): physical servers for dedicated performance (availability depends on hardware stock, and some offers may be on-demand)
Typical setup path
Most users follow this flow:
- Create an account and log in to the Client Area
- Verify your account (only if requested)
- Choose a product and location
- Place your order
- Wait for provisioning
- Connect to your server/VM
- Apply basic security hardening and set up backups
Choosing between OneCloud and Bare Metal
Choose OneCloud if you need:
- Fast deployment
- Flexible scaling
- Easy redeploy/rebuild workflows
- A VM for development, testing, or general hosting
Choose Bare Metal if you need:
- Dedicated physical resources
- Specific hardware configurations
- Consistent performance for heavy workloads (databases, virtualization, high I/O)
Note
Not all locations and configurations are always available. OneCloud is capacity-based, and Bare Metal is stock-based.
