Deploy a Virtual Machine
Create a Virtual Machine from the Deploy VPS page in my.cubepath.com. Most options are pre-filled, so you can launch in a few clicks.
Note: Your account must be verified before you can deploy.
### Pick project and region
Choose the **project** the machine belongs to, then a **region**. Compute is available in **Miami (MIA)**, **Houston (HOU)** and **Barcelona (BCN)**.
### Choose instance type and plan
Select **Shared CPU** (General Purpose or High Frequency) or **Dedicated CPU** (Dedicated CPU or High Frequency Dedicated CPU), then pick a resource plan.
### Select OS or application
Pick an **operating system** (Ubuntu 24.04 by default) or a pre-configured **application**.
### Set IP and authentication
IPv6 is free; IPv4 adds **$1.50/month**. Add one or more **SSH keys**, a **root password**, or both.
### Configure and deploy
Set the **hostname** and **quantity** (up to 20). Optionally enable **backups (+20%)**, a **firewall** or **cloud-init**, then click **Deploy Now**.
Important: Outbound SMTP ports 25 and 465 are blocked by default. Open a support ticket if you need them.
