Creating Servers

You can create a server in FlyWP in a few minutes. Choose a FlyWP Managed server, or bring your own server from a cloud provider.

Create a server

Section titled “Create a server”

  1. Log in to FlyWP. The Servers page lists your existing servers.

  2. Click Create New Server.

    Create New Server button on the Servers page

  3. Choose how you want to create the server:

    • FlyWP Managed (Flexible): FlyWP creates the server for you. You don't need a provider account. See FlyWP Managed Servers.
    • Bring Your Own Server: Connect your own cloud provider account, or choose Custom to use any VPS. See Custom Server and Server Providers.

  4. Select the provider, then choose the region and server size. For a Bring Your Own Server provider, select or add your provider account.

  5. Enter a Server Hostname.

  6. Choose the Operating System: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, or 26.04 LTS. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is selected by default.

  7. Click Launch Server.

Watch the progress

Section titled “Watch the progress”

After you click Launch Server, FlyWP shows the provisioning progress. For a Custom server, FlyWP gives you a command to run on your server as root first. See Custom Server.

When provisioning finishes, the server appears in your server list and you're ready to create a new site.
