For this article, we are going to choose Cloud Compute which has the cheapest options, if the price is your concern this choice is best for you.
3- Select server location
At this stage, it is highly recommended to choose server location that is nearest to the server’s clients to ensure the best performance, we are going to choose United States/New York(NJ) as it has more server sizes and options available right now, unlike other locations where you have less options available.
4- Pick server operating system
You can choose the OS of the server form a variety of operating systems (such as CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, etc.) and applications (such as cPanel, WordPress, Minecraft, Docker and many others). Also you can upload your ISO or choose an image form the ISO library available. For now we will choose Ubuntu 18.04 x64

Keep in mind that some server sizes are not available in some locations as we mentioned above.
(3.5$/mo, 10GB SSD, 1 CPU, 512MB memory, 500GB bandwidth) is only available right now at New York(New Jersey), also (2.5$/mo, 10GB SSD, 1 CPU, 512MB memory, 500GB bandwidth ) is available as the cheapest option but it only support IPv6 and it does not include a public IPv4 address.
Let’s choose 3.5$/mo package for this demonstration.
