3. Select a **Provider** — currently **Tencent** or **Cloudeka by Lintasarta**.
4. Select a **Region** — currently **Singapore** or **Jakarta (Indonesia)**.
5. Select an **Operating System** (e.g. Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS).

6. Select a **Server Plan** from the pricing table — options vary by CPU, RAM, storage, and egress bandwidth (e.g. 2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM / 40 GB storage / 512 GB egress at Rp 60.000/month).
7. Review the **Configuration Summary** and click **Create VPS**.

## Notes

- Billing is monthly and can be cancelled anytime.
- For the **Tencent** provider, the egress bandwidth is a hard monthly limit: once it is reached, the VPS is shut down and the usage resets the following month. If you need more before then, you can [upgrade](/guides/vps/upgrade) to a higher plan, but you can't downgrade afterwards. You can track usage in the VPS **Usage** tab, see [Monitoring Bandwidth Usage](/guides/vps/monitor-bandwidth).
- Some higher-tier plans may show as **Out of Stock** depending on current capacity.
