Your VPS Server Setup — Ubuntu + aaPanel

Your server. Your choice.

Choose your server and setup service below, then order online. The standard configuration is Ubuntu Linux + aaPanel Free. Your server’s resources determine how many websites it can support; this server configuration service does not charge per website.

Server setup — $149 one-time

• Configure one clean, supported Ubuntu Linux VPS
• Install aaPanel Free and the web server, database and PHP environment
• Configure panel access, firewall basics and available updates
• Connect one initial domain, SSL and one WordPress installation
• Configure backups and basic caching
• Provide practical panel handover instructions

Delivery target: 2–3 business days from your confirmed scheduled start once working access and requirements are supplied.

Setup + WordPress migration — $249 one-time

Includes the setup above and migration of one standard WordPress website up to 5 GB, with pre-transfer backup and key page, image and link checks. Target delivery: 3–5 business days after the confirmed start and receipt of access and requirements.

Order here. SHLAE handles your hosting.

Select your existing VPS or an Infomaniak VPS Lite or VPS Cloud configuration here. For new servers, Stephen handles the provider order and provisioning. No external hosting checkout is required.

Checkout includes your one-time setup fee, the first month of selected SHLAE hosting ($29 Lite 4 GB, $49 Lite 8 GB, or $79 Cloud 12 GB), and the first month of management only if selected ($79). Hosting and management start at provisioning/handover; we confirm their exact paid-through dates. Future months are separately invoiced without automatic card charges. These are SHLAE retail prices in USD, not Infomaniak’s direct prices. SHLAE handles provider purchasing. No customer annual hosting commitment is required. Larger Cloud configurations require an accepted separate price before purchase. Infomaniak servers are hosted in Switzerland.

Additional domain/site setup, website design, email migration, active online stores, multisite, malware recovery, custom applications, paid panel licenses and ongoing management are separate services. No unlimited CPU, memory, storage or performance is promised. For additional configuration or a demo, use the request form on our service chooser.

After ordering

Your server and service selections are saved with your order. Add your domain, provider and requirements in the checkout notes. Do not put passwords in checkout notes. Stephen will arrange access securely and confirm your start date.

Optional management — $79/month

One VPS: automated uptime monitoring, scheduled OS/panel security updates and backup-job checks, plus up to 30 minutes of routine support each month. WordPress maintenance covers one nominated standard site. Additional sites and backups need agreed scope; no unlimited site maintenance or 24/7 human support. Unused support time does not roll over. Backup destination, capacity and retention are confirmed before service begins.

Extra work $50/hour in 15-minute increments, only after approval. See our cancellation and fee schedule.

Introductory server management rate

Choose SHLAE server management and receive 10% off each of your first three full monthly management charges: $71.10 per month for months 1, 2 and 3, then $79 per month beginning with month 4. No proration and no partial-month discount. The offer applies only to the $79 monthly management service, not hosting, setup or migration. Future management invoices are issued separately; no automatic recurring charges are collected unless you separately authorize them.
