Getting started

Getting started: from sign-up to a live site

The whole path in six steps: verify, launch, upload, configure, go live, secure.

  1. Verify your account
  2. Launch an app
  3. Put your code in place
  4. Configure and deploy
  5. Go live on your domain
  6. Secure it

1. Verify your account

Open Account verification and fill in who the account belongs to — individual or business, PAN, mobile and address. It takes two minutes and the details also go on your GST invoices. You can buy as soon as it is submitted.

2. Launch an app

Go to Launch an app, pick a blueprint (WordPress, PHP & CMS, Node.js, Python or Java), a version and a plan, then enter your domain — or choose Give me a free address to get yourname.cloudninza.in now and connect a domain later. Pay, and the app is created automatically within minutes.

3. Put your code in place

WordPress is installed for you. For everything else upload your code with the File manager (upload a ZIP and Extract it), clone it with git in the Terminal, or send it over SFTP. See the guide for your language under Launch an app.

4. Configure and deploy

For Node.js, Python and Java open App settings: choose your framework, check the start command, add environment variables, press Deploy.

5. Go live on your domain

At your DNS provider point @ and www (A records) to the server IP shown in Domains. The page shows live whether the domain points to us.

6. Secure it

Free SSL is issued automatically within 30 minutes of the domain pointing here, and HTTPS-only is turned on with it. Domains shows the status; Check and issue now skips the wait.
