Get started

TebibHost runs Linux virtual machines (VMs) that you pay for by the hour from a prepaid wallet. You top up the wallet with M-Pesa, and every running VM, disk and public IP draws from it. There are no contracts and no bills after the fact: when the wallet runs low you get warnings well before anything stops.

These four steps take about ten minutes the first time:

1. Create an accountSign up, verify your email, create your organization.
2. Top up your walletPay with M-Pesa; the money is in your wallet within a minute.
3. Create your first VMPick an image and a size, add your SSH key, start it.
4. Connect with SSHOpen SSH in the firewall and log in over IPv6 or IPv4.
