📋 Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- An account on Hetzner Cloud
- A Project in Hetzner Cloud Console
- An account on our website with an active subscription or credits
Step 1: Create a Cloud Server on Hetzner
1
From Hetzner Cloud Console:
- Click "Add Server"
- Choose a Location (Nuremberg, Falkenstein, Helsinki, or Ashburn)
- Under Image, select Ubuntu 22.04 or any Linux
- Choose Server Type:
- CX21 (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM) — Minimum
- CX31 (2 vCPU, 8GB RAM) — Recommended
- CX41 (4 vCPU, 16GB RAM) — High performance
- Under SSH Keys: You can skip this — we'll use root password
- Click "Create & Buy Now"
💡 Note: Hetzner is one of the most affordable providers with excellent performance. Their newer plans use NVMe storage.
Step 2: Enable Root Password
2
After creating the server:
- You'll receive the root password via email
- If not received, go to Rescue → Reset Root Password in Hetzner Cloud Console
- The new password is shown only once — save it carefully
⚠️ Important: You must use a root password (not SSH Key) for our service to access the server.
Step 3: Verify Connection Details
3
From Hetzner Cloud Console, click on your server to find:
- IP Address: Public IPv4 address
- Username:
root - Password: Received via email or after reset
- Port:
22
Test the connection first:
ssh root@YOUR_IP
If you connect successfully, everything is set.
Step 4: Start the Installation
4
- Log in to your Dashboard on our website
- Click "New Installation"
- Enter server details:
- IP: Hetzner server IP
- Username: root
- Password: root password
- Port: 22
- Select your desired Windows version
- Disk type: Select NVMe (Hetzner Cloud uses NVMe)
- Click "Start Installation"
Step 5: Monitor Installation
5
- Follow the progress bar from the dashboard
- Installation takes approximately 15-25 minutes
- After completion, RDP credentials will be displayed
Step 6: Connect via RDP
6
- Open Remote Desktop Connection
- Enter the server IP address
- User:
Administrator - Password: The password from the dashboard
⚙️ Hetzner-Specific Settings
Notes specific to Hetzner Cloud servers:
- Hetzner uses NVMe on most plans — always select NVMe
- Firewall: If you enabled Hetzner Firewall, make sure Port 3389 is open
- Snapshots: After installing Windows, it's recommended to take a Snapshot (backup)
- Volumes: If you have an additional Volume, it will appear as a second disk in Windows
📩 Post-Installation Instructions:
- First, perform a reboot through the OVH/Hetzner Panel to return to normal mode.
- Ignore this step if you use Android or iOS app.
- You now need to open this file for the first time:
https://files.fm/f/8dnh87beb8 - Then enter the default password
a1234#. The system will then prompt you to change your password. - Default username:
Administrator

🔧 Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| SSH Connection Refused | Wait a minute after server creation and try again |
| Permission denied (publickey) | Make sure you're using Root password, not SSH Key |
| Installation fails | Try selecting SDA instead of NVMe, or contact us |
| RDP not connecting | Check if Hetzner Firewall is blocking Port 3389 |
