Purchase a Server from Zeabur
If you don’t have your own server, you can purchase a dedicated server directly from Zeabur. Zeabur partners with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Linode, Digital Ocean, Aliyun, Tencent Cloud, Volcengine) to offer competitive pricing — often at a discount compared to buying directly from the provider.
Purchased servers are fully managed by Zeabur. You don’t need to handle SSH access, OS updates, or infrastructure maintenance.
Purchase Steps
Open the Server List
After logging in, click Servers in the left sidebar, or visit https://zeabur.com/servers directly.
Click “Create” and Select “Buy a Server from Zeabur”
Click the Create button in the upper-right corner. In the dialog that appears, select Buy a Server from Zeabur.
You will also see other options:
- Fixed IP Server — for connecting your own server with a fixed public IP via SSH (see Add a Server).
- Wonder Mesh — for servers without a fixed public IP (currently in beta).
Select a Server Plan
You will be redirected to the server selection page. Use the filters to narrow down the options:
- Provider — Choose from AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Linode, Digital Ocean, Aliyun, Tencent, or Volcengine.
- Region — Filter by continent (Asia, China, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania).
- CPU — Filter by the number of vCPUs (1–32).
- Memory — Filter by RAM size (2 GB–64 GB).
- Sort — Sort results by Recommended, Price, CPU, RAM, or Egress.
Each server plan shows the provider, city, vCPU count, RAM, storage, egress bandwidth, and monthly price. Some plans include a discount badge showing Zeabur’s ongoing discount compared to the provider’s official price.
Confirm and Pay
Click on a server plan to proceed to checkout. The server will be provisioned automatically after payment. Once provisioning is complete (usually within a few minutes), the server will appear in your My Servers list with a Running status.
After Purchase
Once your server is online, you can:
- Create a project on your new server and start deploying services.
- Manage your server — monitor resources, configure settings, and more.
- Set up firewall rules — control inbound and outbound traffic.
FAQ
Can I upgrade my server plan later?
Yes, you can self-serve upgrade your server plan from the server’s settings page. Note that upgrades are one-way — you cannot downgrade to a lower plan after upgrading.
What if the server doesn’t meet my needs?
For servers purchased from Tencent Cloud, Aliyun, or Volcengine, Zeabur allows one free refund. A second refund request for these providers must be submitted through the community forum. For all other providers (AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Linode, Digital Ocean), you can request a refund directly from the server’s settings page by clicking Request Refund.
How is billing handled?
Purchased servers are billed monthly at a fixed rate. The price shown on the selection page is the monthly cost. Your server will auto-renew unless you cancel it.
What providers are available?
Zeabur currently offers servers from AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Linode, Digital Ocean, Aliyun, Tencent Cloud, and Volcengine, with data centers across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania.
