Vertos has three places you will use most often: the Dashboard for creating and viewing services, the Control Panel for day-to-day server management, and the Billing Portal for managing paid plans.
A useful mental model: create the service in the Dashboard, manage the running server in the Control Panel, and handle purchases in Billing.
1. Create your account
Open the Vertos Dashboard and register or sign in. Keep the email address you used handy; it is the best way for support to locate your account later.
The Dashboard and Control Panel use the same account credentials. You do not need a second registration for the Control Panel.
2. Choose a free trial
The homepage currently lists two ways to test Vertos:
| Trial | Duration | CPU | RAM | Storage | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game Server | 1 month | 1.5 vCPU | 2 GB | 6 GB SSD | 70 Credits |
| Compute | 2 months | 1 vCPU | 256 MB | 5 GB SSD | 35 Credits |
Choose the trial that fits what you want to build. A game server is for a multiplayer world; compute is for a small app, bot, website, or API. Trial availability and fair-use conditions may apply.
3. Create the server
In the Dashboard, open the server creation flow. Give your server a recognizable name, choose the appropriate game or runtime, then review the resources before confirming creation. Provisioning should begin from the Dashboard.
Tip: Use a descriptive name such as weekend-smp or portfolio-api so it is easy to find later.
4. Open the Control Panel
After provisioning, go to ctrl.vertos.in and sign in with your Vertos account. Select the new server to access its console, files, startup settings, and resource usage.
- Confirm the server appears in the panel.
- Start it and watch the console for errors.
- Save a backup before making major configuration changes.
- Test the service from a second device or connection.
5. Get help if needed
If something does not appear or start as expected, send help@vertos.in your account email, server name, what you tried, and any useful screenshot or error message. Do not send passwords or secret keys.
