A new way to deploy a server

Deploying a server used to jump between pages. It is now five short steps on one screen, and you can step back at any point from the strip at the top or the Back button.

What's New

• The first step shows the systems people deploy most, with the rest one click away behind More: Linux and BSD, Windows Server, the AI agent images with their logos, and your own ISO images, with a search box. One click on a system takes its recommended version; the version under the name opens the others.
• If you have deployed before, a Same as last time row repeats your last system, location and plan in one click.
• Locations that do not carry your choice are greyed and say so; when a system runs in one location only, that step is skipped.
• Plans are one comparison row each, with both the hourly and the monthly price, a recommended plan for your system, and a memory filter for the long list.
• Monthly plans show the effective monthly price and what you save on 3, 6 and 12 months. A stopped pay-as-you-go server keeps its IP and disk at a reduced rate, and the flow says so.
• If your balance cannot start an hourly server, you add credit inside the flow and the server deploys as soon as the payment lands, with a 3-second window to stop it.
• After deploy, the server page shows what to do next: the address, the password or your SSH keys, the Remote Desktop file for Windows, the console for an ISO.
