1. Open the service in the VMBargain client area and confirm that its state is ACTIVE or RUNNING.
2. Copy the assigned address and SSH port. Add the address to DNS only after direct connectivity works.
3. Connect with the SSH key supplied at checkout, or reveal the initial root password once and store it securely.
4. Install operating-system updates, create an administrative user, and configure a firewall while keeping the current SSH session open.
5. Verify both inbound access and outbound DNS/HTTPS before deploying an application.
6. Configure monitoring and an independent backup with a tested restore procedure.

The initial password is not a recovery system and VMBargain does not include VM backups. Losing all working credentials may require a support-assisted recovery or rebuild.
