Getting Started With The Dashboard

Prepare your account and project so server deployment is smooth on first attempt.

Category: Getting Started
Prerequisites
  • An active Nesva account with verified email access.
  • A valid payment method added in the billing section.
  • Target workload requirements (CPU, RAM, storage, and region).
  • SSH public key ready if you plan to use key-based login.
Steps
  1. Log in to cloud.nesva.net and switch to the project you will use for deployment.
  2. Open billing and confirm account balance or payment method status is healthy.
  3. Review quota limits for instances, IPs, and storage in your dashboard account area.
  4. Upload your SSH public key in the access or key management area.
  5. Create a naming convention for instances (for example: env-role-region-number).
  6. Collect required application ports and DNS names before provisioning.
Verification
  • Billing page shows active payment method and no account blocks.
  • SSH key appears in your key list and is selectable in deploy flow.
  • You can identify your target project and region before clicking deploy.
Common Mistakes
  • Skipping SSH key setup and then needing password reset steps later.
  • Deploying in the wrong project or region due to no naming standard.
  • Ignoring quota limits and failing at the final provisioning step.
